JAMIE LENA KERSLAKE with Harmony Byrne and Jib at Nighthawks

  • Nighthawks Bar 136 Johnston St Collingwood Australia (map)

Jamie Lena Kerslake: Jamie Lena Kerslake is an alternative-folk/soul artist, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Kaurna country (Adelaide). Jamie's debut album, 'The Ruins Of An Over-Enthused Heart’, mixed and mastered by Nick Herrera (Danika, Nai Palm) unravels the snags of relationship, grief and politics, all the while wrapped up in a voice of milk & honey. Jamie has played festivals such as St Kilda Festival, and Womadelaide, and supported artists including Ruby Mary Gill, Jack Davies, and Allysha Joy. Her debut EP earned airplay on triple j, landed in APRA’s top 10 Regional Charts, and gained recognition in the South Australian music awards.
Harmony Byrne: Australian singer/songwriter Harmony Byrne first stunned listeners with her wide-ranging debut, Heavy Doors, produced by Spoons Jim Eno, exploring folk, alt-country, blues, and gospel with a confident yet introspective tone.
2019 saw her play SXSW and a massive national tour with The Teskey Brothers, precluding a period of isolation where Byrne recorded an intimate, acoustic E.P in her home studio in Daylesford, entitled The Songs I Sing When No One Is Listening.
Now she’s back in action, playing solo and with her band, with the likes of Amyl & The Sniffers, Alice Skye and C.W Stoneking.
If you’re after a powerful voice that can both devastate with muscular ferocity and affirm with skilled restraint you may want to watch out for this cracker of a fire.
Jib: Jib plays across Naarm, weaving his vocal storytelling over acoustic riffs. His writing in open-tuning with breathy low-register vocals is reminiscent of Alexi Murdoch and Nick Drake.
