OUT & ABOUT
Samford Live’s eclectic acoustic afternoons - the best of local music This weekend, warm up your winter with the lively, fun-filled sounds of The Long Johns on Saturday afternoon. This four-piece, toe tapping posse has included Samford in their tour promoting their latest EP Bones! before they appear at next month’s famous Gympie Muster. Hear them here first! Book tickets online for their Samford Live show this Saturday 22 July, or pay cash at the door. The last words from their fans: “they are awesome!”…wish I had the words to tell you how much I love this”. In August we’ve invited two of the most acclaimed acts on our local acoustic scene to perform a double bill. Zoe Quinn is a local singer, songwriter and guitarist from Eatons Hill. She draws influences from indie and folk-pop threads, infusing heartfelt lyrics, bold passionate guitar playing and her compelling voice. “luminous, original
music” - Darren Percival. Zoe will be joined by Freight Train Foxes, built around the singer/songwriter talents of Kobble Creek resident Kelsey Berrington and Brisbane based Pat Kenny. The pair wield their unique brand of mellow suburban acoustic folk, amassing over a million streams on Spotify. This impressive duo has released four EPs, twice been Queensland Music Awards finalists, and this year have been invited to appear at Brisbane’s prestigious Big Sound Festival. “Idyllic acoustic guitars, strings and harmonies - a wonderfully charming and intimate collection of folk-pop tunes” - Calen Le Couteur, MiMM. Saturday 22 July The Long Johns – Alt country, bluegrass and old-time swing. Saturday 26 August Zoe Quinn & Freight Train Foxes – top notch local indie folk pop. Doors open 3.00pm, music from 4pm, $15/$20 + booking fee Little Tree Bake & Brewhouse Main Street, Samford Bookings advisable, tickets at: www. samfordlive.au
FRIDAY AT THE SCHUB Opportunity isn’t coming back to rattle our doors and enliven our appreciation of life until August 25th but on July 28th we are talking about Communication with Julie at the SCHUB. The dreaded flu, surgeon’s knives and doctors’ appointments have led our program a bit astray. Join us. We’d love to meet you. A cuppa and afternoon tea is available from 2.00pm. We ask that each person donate $2 to defray the cost of hall hire. Everyone welcome. On Friday August 4th at noon, Samford Scribblers meet. This is a group for writers to respond to each other’s work over a cuppa and a bite to eat. Also on August 4th at 3pm, wonderful Yoga teacher Ruth Campbell is running the first of two free Chair Yoga sessions with breathing and some meditation. Our restful and supportive cuppa and chat for anyone will start at 2ish and continue after Ruth’s wonderful Yoga until 5ish, sometimes a bit earlier on these cold days. Julie Martin
