HUSKY
I VIAGGIATORI
JAMES KEELAGHAN & DAVID WOODHEAD
Husky are a four-piece band from Melbourne, Australia. Last year they released their debut album ‘Forever So’ which is a lush collection of songs that echo the classics they grew up with, full of haunting lyrics, rolling rhythms and delicate layers of sound. They recently became the first Australian act to sign with the seminal label Sub Pop in the US. They have previously toured with the likes of Gotye, The Shins, Laura Marling, Kimbra, Devendra Banhart. In 2012 they were part of Mumford and Sons Gentlemen of the Road as well as completing their own sold out national tours.
Be transported with I VIAGGIATORI to forgotten fishing villages, moonlit olive groves, and a hard life under a hot sun where women sang melancholy songs of lost love, displacement and revolution and fought hardship with a fierce sense of humour. The band of Kavisha Mazzella, Irine Vela, David De Santi and Mark-Holder Keeping provide the sounds of folk, Celtic, gypsy, blues and Italian world music woven expertly together.

James Keelaghan is coming back for 2013 with the fantastic David Woodhead at his side. Called Canada’s finest singer-songwriter by one of the most respected music journalists of the last 50 years, James Keelaghan is an artist who has proven to be a man for all seasons. As the calendar pages have turned, for almost a quarter of a century now, this poet laureate of the folk and roots music world has gone about his work with a combination of passion, curiosity intent and intensity. His masterful story telling has, over the course of nine recordings, been part of the bedrock of his success, earning Keelaghan nominations and awards - including a Juno (Canada’s Grammy).
