Holly Throsby

Overview

Sydney’s queen of indie-folk Holly Throsby, is giving a dose of whimsy to venues all over Australia this autumn, landing at the Powerhouse this Friday and Saturday. Accompanied by her band, The Hello Tigers, Miss Throsby is touring the country to tout her fourth long-player Team, following 2008’s internationally acclaimed A Loud Call.

Recorded in a 19th century Methodist church in Wildes Meadow, New South Wales, Throsby crafted folk pop with a tapestry of instruments, from the mandolin, accordion, cello and even broken tool kit percussion. The resulting Team is an exploration of companionship, separation and the natural world.

The album’s elaborate instrumental setup on the album will be transported live to the Visy Theatre of Brisbane’s iconic Powerhouse for two intimate performances, in which Throsby and The Hello Tigers will be supported by Brisbane’s own Little Scout on Friday night and Seja for the Saturday night performance. You won’t be able to find this much folk anywhere else in town this weekend, so under doctor’s orders, head down to the Powerhouse to receive your dose of whimsical folk, prescribed by us and administered by Holly Throsby and The Hello Tigers.
