Tim Baker Principal Songwriter & Lead Vocalist Of Hey Rosett

At the end of 2017, twelve years after their inception, the multi-award winning band, Hey Rosetta! went on hiatus, after selling 10,000 tickets to five farewell shows. For the bands principal songwriter and lead vocalist Tim Baker, this was the start of a new chapter. On his debut solo album Forever Overhead, Baker warmly welcomes you to it. The first words we hear him sing, on the first single Dance, is akin to a toast: heres to the other side. What follows are eleven songs that centre on kinship and show that Bakers sharp songwriting, the heart of Hey Rosetta!, is as affecting as ever. When crafting the album, Baker drew from 70s songwriters, like Jackson Browne and Randy Newman, whose music filled his childhood home and from his contemporaries (Feist, Leif Vollebekk, The Barr Brothers). Produced by Marcus Paquin (The National, Local Natives), Forever Overhead blends piano ballads with ebullient folk-rock tracks featuring Liam ONeill (Suuns), Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station), as well as Mishka Stein & Joe Grass (Patrick Watson). In the albums opening track Dance, Baker moves alongside soft piano chords as buoyant, 70s pop style instrumentation and a piercing guitar riff steadily build, bolstering his words of longing. He sings of connectivity and the tender emotions that are coupled with glances across a gyms confetti-lined linoleum floor, the air thick with potential. Like Forever Overhead as a whole, Baker brings beauty and hope into listeners lives.

Xylouris White + Gwenifer Raymond

On sale Fri 25 Oct 2019 10am! Xylouris White + Special Guests Mon 27 January 2020 Komedia are very happy to present a very special show for Xylouris White as part of Independent Venue Week. Jim White and George Xylouris have been friends since Jims early days in Dirty Three. Their musical connection goes back to then and led them to start Xylouris White in 2013. Since then, they have released three albums and been touring the world. The Sisypheans is their fourth release. Jim on The Sisypheans: As George Xylouris and I traveled around these last five years, we found ourselves talking about Sisyphus. George had a theory about Sisyphus, condemned to climb that hill with that rock forever. George saw him carrying the rock in different ways, in his left hand, behind his back, pushing it with his head while crawling and noticing each journey the seasons changing, the grass and the insects. The meaning was clear and for George it fit with playing the popular Cretan song Proto Hanoti many turns each day for his life and discovering it new each time . . . I found it fit in with a long held set of thoughts Id had, that if one concentrated activity and thought enough on one thing it would expand and be a whole world. It sounded like the same idea and also with the idea of first principles, for it to be new each time: that is our job as musicians. We would talk about this as we traveled playing music. One day a waitress heard us talking, and she asked if we knew the Camus essay about Sisyphus. We didnt, but I got it in English and then we found it in Greek and it fit too. When we were playing in Louisville and working on Black Peak, we stayed at a house and saw the artwork you see on the cover, by Elsa Hansen Oldham . . .Wed finished the circular trilogy of Goats, Black Peak, and Mother and we found ourselves making . What we do leads us to who we are, the Sisypheans. THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN OUR INTIMATE SPACE KOMEDIA STUDIO BAR STANDING SHOW AGES 14+ (UNDER 16s MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT)
