The Company are embarking on an Australian tour to release their third studio album, Six and Five, and are returning to Katoomba, following their Blue Mountains Music Festival performance in 2015. They will be joined by Nashville progressive acoustic folk duo, 10 String Symphony.
Boasting two Australian Bluegrass champions on guitar, fiddle and banjo, The Company has a passion for high-energy original and traditional acoustic music and have solidified themselves as one of the best bluegrass outfits in Australia. The playing and singing is crisp, melodic and soulful. In concert you witness the band’s virtuosity but also a wry humour and engaging camaraderie.
Highly regarded for their originality, they’ve appeared at major music festivals around Australia and the UK and have been featured on local ABC radio and ABC Radio National.
Nashville duo 10 String Symphony began as a partnership of mutual admiration and a much needed creative release valve for Rachel Baiman and Christian Sedelmyer, two five string fiddle players and veteran sidemen of Nashville’s music scene.
Baiman, a former Illinois state fiddle champion in the old time tradition, needed an outlet for the new sort of songs she was writing, while Sedelmyer, originally a classically trained violinist, now a current touring member of the Jerry Douglas Band, was looking to get in touch the impetuous spirit of the rock bands he played in before his arrival in Nashville.
Both groups will perform at the Hotel Gearin, Katoomba on Saturday, October 29. For more details: www.fusionboutique.com.au.
