English native Martyn Wyndham-Read performs folk classics of Australia, including songs, humor, and anecdotes of outback life, weaving in comments on Australian history and culture. He developed his interest in folksongs of the outback when he went to Australia in the early 1960's and worked at a sheep station. During subsequent travels he sought out and learned old songs directly from drovers, cane cutters and other bush workers, performing them to audiences across Australia. After seven years, he returned to England and has been performing his music across the globe. His recording career spans 33 years and more than 30 albums, many considered classics of their genre. Join us for an evening of down under songs and stories.
