SHANNON BARNETT QUARTET
Wednesday September 22
The Promethean, 116 Grote St Adelaide
Doors open at 7.30pm
Tickets $20/15 at the door
   

'This tour is made possible by the generous support of the 'Australian Government's Contemporary Music Touring Program

Virtuoso trombonist Shannon Barnett and her dynamic quartet are touring Australia to present their debut album 'Country', out on the Grigoryan brothers 'WhichWay Music' label. Awarded 'Young Australian Jazz Artist of the Year' (2007), Barnett is well-known for her work with Barney McAll, Kurt Rosenwinkel, The Bamboos, Paul Grabowsky and for a recent stint performing (sometimes upside down) with Circus Oz.

Expertly recorded by Robin Gray at Allan Eaton Studio and mixed and mastered by Philip Rex, 'Country' captures Barnettʼs cheekiness and energetic approach to the trombone, through a variety of engaging compositions, with input from all members of the ensemble.
From the alt-country/pop-tinged title track 'Country', to the distinctly north coast-flavoured
Abercrombie Byron Hippie Knife Fight and the catchy dub groove of 'Pesos', the album is a journey through many stylistic influences, all the while retaining a strong and defined ensemble sound. Don't miss their only Adelaide show.


Vincent's Chair have been in the studio recording some new songs. We will perform them at the Promethean on Sunday 17 October, and have some special guests joining us.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
