SARAH BELKNER & FRIENDS MARCH MONDAY RESIDENCY AT BUTCHERS BREW BAR

After a cracking first run last year SARAH BELKNER decided she couldn’t wait a whole year to do it again so she's back at Butchers Brew Bar for the first 4 Mondays in March, bringing her unique existential indie singer-songwriter vibes to Butchers Brew & teaming up with a great local artist each week. Together, they bring a residency filled with old songs, brand new songs & always a surprise sing along for everyone to enjoy.  The artists coming along this time are the incredible EBS, TOBY MARTIN, bestie BRENDAN MACLEAN is back for a second round & the wonderful BONNIESONGS.  Each week will be its own adventure & a great way to warm the heart at the start of the week.

  TOBY MARTIN What an absolute treat to have the incredible Toby Martin coming to week 2! Toby is Sarah’s boss at the Conservatorium of Music where they both teach in the contemporary programme  & he is also a boss of songwriting.  Sarah loves his unique way of turning guitar & words into sculptures of sonic & pondering bliss, & can’t wait to collaborate with him for the first time.

His most recent records are 'Song Khúc Lượn Bay' (Two Sounds Gliding), a collaboration with Viet-Australian musician Dang Lan, & the new album from Youth Group 'Big Whoop' (feature album on Double J).
