Episode 61 Sydney Guitar Festival part II Van Larkins, Fiona Boyes and Adam Miller Aug 21, 2017

Show notes

We continue our conversations with some of the world class musicians featuring at the 2017 Sydney Guitar Festival.

Van Larkins' childhood obsession for sonic manipulation of kitchen utensils fortunately led him to the guitar. Van has become a highly respected proponent of contemporary acoustic playing - signed to the iconic Candyrat Records label - and has built a career through his polyphonic approach. Van is one of the artists featured in the 'Acoustic Uprising' documentary and will be playing a set at the Sydney premier of the film.

Fiona Boyes is an Australian blues icon. She has a recording career of over 25 years and regularly tours Australia, the United States and Europe. Fiona came to guitar via a deep love and knowledge of the history and regional influences of the blues. She talks us through her development from acoustic country blues into electric Chicago styles and more, meeting Hubert Sumlin, breaking down doors in the States and her arsenal of instruments. Oh, yeah...Fiona recorded her latest album at Skywalker Ranch in California!

Adam Miller saw the instrumental possibilities of the guitar after hearing Tommy Emmanual on cassette. Before long he was opening shows for Emmanual. Adam is equally adept at contrapuntal solo acoustic and atmospheric electric jazz. He is constantly touring the globe - we had to call him in Japan - and has garnered considerable critical acclaim through his genre busting approach.

Episode 60 Sydney Guitar Festival 2017 Part I - James Norbert Ivanyi, Sarah McLeod & Adrian Leighton Aug 13, 2017

Show notes

The inaugural Sydney Guitar Festival is almost upon us with a brilliant lineup of local and international guitarists.

In the first of two episodes catching up with some of the festival guests we speak to progressive rock wizard, James Norbert Ivanyi, Australian rock royalty - Sarah McLeod of the Superjesus and get all the deets from festival programmer Adrian Leighton.

James Norbert Ivanyi has just returned home after after a triumphant European tour promoting his latest EP, Denalavis. James talks through his formative influences, his recording journey, playing epic prog festivals and more.

Self imposed exile in New York provided the perfect writing environment for Sarah McLeod's latest solo album, Rocky's Diner. Sarah talks us through writing elaborate demos, recording the album and and simultaneously taking on bass and guitar duties for the subsequent tour in a hard hitting duo with Mick Skelton.

There are few more loved figures in Australian music than Troy Cassar-Daley.

Troy's songwriting, performances and musicianship have seen him win a slew of awards: arias, deadlies and about three dozen golden guitars.

Behind all this is a great guitar player and absolute tone hound. Troy fired up his live rig and home studio to play us through his prized acoustics, vintage Tele, pedal board, amps and a spectacularly sweet franken-strat.
