Backyard Stories & River Tales

Double Bill at Open Studio Bar, Northcote.
Backyard Stories & River Tales by Gerry Kennedy and Jason Khaw
An evening of acoustic music and story-telling by two Melbourne-based musicians.

Gerry Kennedy and Jason Khaw will perform songs from their respective albums, intertwined with the stories behind the music. Gerry Kennedy’s debut album ‘Our Backyard’ has quickly become a cult classic - expect to hear songs and stories about packed bars, backyards and the good old days living in the inner north of Melbourne. Jason Khaw returns to Open Studio and will perform songs from his albums, ‘Freedom Badge’ and ‘Peace River’. He will tell stories of identity, mis-identity, kinship and a special tree. Jason will be accompanied by Phil Sheppard on bass and Fabio Rubino on percussion. All four musicians will then come together for an interpretation of everyone's favourite Beatles songs. Of course, they will do it their way.
