Underscore
FRIDAY 24 JULY, 7:30PM
Sally Ford & the Idiomatics with Jane Clifton & Wayne Macauley and HPAC Present: Underscore
UNDERSCORE blurs the line between music, storytelling, song and narration as acclaimed writers perform excerpts of their work over a lush electro-acoustic soundscape provided by Sally Ford and the Idiomatics.
A richly imagined musical and literary experience. These live readings by writers Jane Clifton and Wayne Macauley are accompanied by songs and stories from The Idiomatics band, featuring wryly observed lyrics on life, love and lived experience.
UNDERSCORE launched in 2023 at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and Melbourne’s Brunswick Ballroom to a hugely enthusiastic audience, and has since presented iterations of the project at Melbourne’s Malthouse, Clunes Booktown Festival, The Athenaeum Library, Readings Bookstore’s 50th Anniversary, Archies Creek Hotel and Beleura House.
