Event information
Athen's Georgia based singer-songwriter, LIZ DURRETT is currently touring to promote her latest album, Outside Our Gates, which produced and arranged by indie rock icon, Eric Bachmann (Archers of Loaf, Crooked Fingers, Azure Ray).
"...beautifully dark and bittersweet..." (New York Times)
"niece of singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt proves talent runs in the family." (Entertainment Weekly)
“One of the main appeals of Durrett's music [is] its balance between the ethereal and the terrestrial, drawing from both the sacred and the profane and firmly rooted in Southern Gothic traditions.” (Creative Loafing)
Fence Collective friends and outsiders, PUMAJAW (Pinkie Maclure and John Wills (ex-Loop, Hair and Skin Trading Company) combine Pinkie’s unique, multi-octave voice with looped guitar, mandolin, samples, concertina and hypnotic rhythms. Pumajaw’s is a unique and seductive sound which stretches from psychedelic pop through sultry folk songs to impassioned, spiritual and eerie trance-inducing laments. Live, they create a surprisingly big racket for two people and have a reputation for taking the music into sonically adventurous realms of animalistic, ritualistic intensity.
''Pinkie Maclure's extraordinary, dark, smoky vocals, combined with John Wills' sonic wreckage on their album 'Cat's Cradle' put this duo at the top of the psych-folk tower of song, while preserving their own sense of ambient timelessness.'' (Songlines)
"Pumajaw transfixed the audience with their spectral sea shanties etched out on squeezebox and effects-laden acoustic guitar and crowned with Maclure's eerie voice." (Scotsman)
“a weird and wonderful flight of fancy to a seductively mysterious
destination” (Time Out)
"An inspriring blend of traditional folk, jazz and avant garde" (Boomkat)
