First Singer Songwriter night announced
Date: Tuesday 9th September, 2008
Venue : Cafe Lounge, Goulburn St Surry Hills
Opening Act: Sarah Martyn – Myspace
Happy Nice Song for My Boy – Sarah Martyn
We are far too excited to announce that Sarah Martyn will be our first act. The intimate venue of Cafe Lounge will give you an up close glimpse of the creative side and skill of the unique jazz trained Sarah Martyn. We look forward to the environment Sarah set with her extensive music training and singing back ground. For a sneak peak of some of the song writing Sarah has under gone in the past few years, check out the above My Space link.
We are yet to decide on a name for the evening, it will more than likely be Dirty Old Man Records presents … at Cafe Lounge. Each week will have a few running themes along the side of the main artist.
The Dirty DJ’s will be doing an low key acoustic-ish DJ set with an emphasis on two records. One being released within the past two years or so, and another from well before we born. The first show will emphasise on Allison Kraus and Robert Plant’s Raising Sands and the other being the late Nick Drake’s Five Leaves Left. I will be recording every artist each month, with hope of some sort of compilation towards the end of summer.
If this sound exciting to you, please feel free to come down and join us for a Chai Tea, Cocktail or Brownie every four weeks from the 9th of September. Get down early to get one of our bean bags for a front row spot.
If your a singer wongwriter and are interested in recording or potentailly playing as one of our featured artists, please contact me. djnicklarosa@gmail.com
Intimate acoustic night to begin soon
Cafe Lounge has kindly offered one Tuesday night a month for our little folk night idea. We are thinking hard about a name, if you have any ideas, please send them through. Although, I dont think we have any readers as yet.
The basic idea consists of a singer song writer for the evening, with one main set and several to follow, with a dj in between focusing on two heartfelt records. One being a recent release and the other a classic favorite. Cafe Lounge is quite an intimate location, we want bean bags, tea pots, soups and a chance to allow an artist to be themselves.
So…… we will be looking for artists who are searching for an outlet. If your interested, hit me up djnicklarosa@gmail.com or on MySpace.
