Cowboys in the Amazon

Overview

If Rainbow Chan is playing a show you know it’s going to be worth seeing. But if Rainbow Chan is playing a free show that also features a crazy mélange of sounds ranging from deep southern country to wash basin bass-heavy ragtime, it definitely falls into the category of “unmissable”.

Cowboys in the Amazon is one such show, and the headline event from the Sydney Fringe’s festival hub Five Eliza. In the space of four hours six acts will take you from the Deep South of Country through the Mississippi Delta, stopping over in Tinsel Town before teleporting you to an exotic Amazonian rainforest thumping with the textural beats of our aforementioned electro goddess.  Helping out with the transportation will be deep American blues country band The Boy Outside, 1950s sweethearts Lily So & Co and the clankering Rusty Spring Syncopators (with kazoo, washboard, wash basin bass and saw in tow).

The best things in life aren’t always free, but when they are you should probably take advantage.
