Overview

The genre-bending Devendra Banhart is coming Australia for this year’s Bluesfest, and is stopping into Melbourne for a sideshow. It’s been a couple of years since the bearded troubadour graced our shores, and it seems we’ve got a lot of catching up to do. Mala, Banhart’s eighth studio album, was released last year and has been largely regarded as his finest work in a while. All the more reason for us to get him down here stat.

While Banhart certainly marches to the beat of his own drum, taking us on whacky lyrical adventures, he encourages listeners to get on his level. However you decide to define this Venezuelan American singer songwriter, (we’re going to go with alternative folk) his playful nature makes him accessible despite his eccentricities.
