12 October – Classical with TRIO AL DENTE

Trio al Dente consists of Dominique Baker (piano), Gail Tivendale (violin) and David Humphries (cello). They have been performing together since mid-2010, and have performed at the Classical Meets Jazz concert in the Tasmanian Arboretum, as well as various smaller concerts and recitals. They enjoy playing traditional chamber music by composers such as Clementi, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Debussy, the wonderfully elegant music composed for intimate gatherings of the European upper classes in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. However, they have also explored arrangements of traditional tango tunes and works by the famous classical/jazz/tango fusion composer Astor Piazzolla; this exciting Argentinian music is always rhythmic, but can range from brooding and introspective to fiery and dramatic. It provides a wonderful contrast to the restrained and civilized works of the classical composers.

26 October – Acoustic Set with Younger Dryas
The Younger Dryas emerged from the foothills of Ben Lomond, Tasmania in 2009. They currently play and experiment with a wide range of styles and influences mainly Roots & Rock, Blues & Folk with a little bit of Delta and Reggae mixed in for old times sake. They have just released a new EP titled the Weapons of Mass Creation Part 1. Their music has a raw quality with underlining hooks and a catchy flavour, They have been likened to other bands such as: Red Hot Chili Peppers and Australia’s John Butler Trio. The Younger Dryas have a dedicated fan base on the North West Coast and have recently played at the Forth Valley Blues and Roots Festival. The Younger Dryas have recently returned from a tour of Asia, Europe and Australia. Keep and eye on their movements and antics by following them of Facebook.
