Lorenzo

12:55pm

Inspired by legendary troubadours such as Bob Dylan, Paul Simon & (especially) Leonard Cohen, Lorenzo has always been fascinated by the art of story-telling. Inspired by the organic nature of their music, he felt compelled to partake in what ultimately became his primary means of navigating the world. After many failed attempts to suppress his creative tendencies (in order to fit in with society), Lorenzo has finally surrendered to his creative tendencies and is releasing the songs he’s held onto for nearly a decade. Guitar, pen & paper in hand, he aims to resume his self-appointed task of being as honest as possible.

Martha Chess Phelps and Eva Diana

4:15pm

Martha Chess Phelps is an indie folk/rock singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Sydney. Honest lyrics and folk-influenced vocals intertwine with a distinct rock flair. For this year’s Marrickville Festival, Martha will be joined by friend, band mate and collaborator Eva Diana. 

Eva’s influences and musical style, while heavily overlapping with Martha’s, leans slightly more towards the Americana scene in the U.S., combining country and rock to tell unique stories. Currently based in Sydney, Eva Diana grew up in Byron Bay where she developed her performance skills and a deep appreciation for the environment. 

For the first time, they will bring both vocal and guitar harmonies to their individual works and share their love for the music that inspires them.

Euan Hart

5:05pm

Through his genre bending songwriting, Euan Hart blends contemporary folk foundations with vivid pop threads defining himself as a stylistic chameleon in the alt-folk/pop scene in both hemispheres. The unique sonic landscapes created in his music are worlds created solely by Hart in his home studio where he records and produces all releases to date - a testament to his skill in production and singular recording techniques. Drawing upon influences such as Weyes Blood, Father John Misty and Andy Shauf, Hart’s tongue in cheek lyricism blur the lines between the devastating truths of heartbreak and the rituals of daily life, showing that a lot of the times they are one in the same.
