About this concert
After a successful run of tour dates this spring and summer in both Australia, Europe and North America, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ondara has released a surprise new track titled “Winter Depression.”   Currently touring in support of his critically acclaimed new album, Spanish Villager No. 3, those shows will continue to be a stripped down affair with Ondara performing solo every evening.Listen To “Winter Depression” Herehttps://open.spotify.com/track/6qE4LaHVH7Dgkm7N9Bhp2o?si=01944b194b564f4fSpanish Villager No: 3, was predominately produced by Ondara and Mike Viola (Jenny Lewis, Dan Wilson) with contributions from Taylor Goldsmith and Griffin Goldsmith of Dawes, Sebastian Steinberg, Tim Kuhl and Jeremy Stacey. The new collection of songs features a much more full, electric sound.Of the album, Ondara states, “This collection of work and the work that lies ahead in presenting it to the world, is a metaphor for my spiritual path. There is death and resurrection in it, a peeling of layers, a pursuit of the truest form of the self in the universe. Ironically, the adaptation of the Spanish Villager character has made me more acquainted with myself. By creating an obvious demarcation between the art and the artist, I have charted two paths of maturation. One path is the maturation of the Spanish Villager as a work of art, as a character in a narrative, as a commodity partaking in the mandatory sport of capitalism; The other is my own personal maturation into a spiritual, integrated, and useful member of society.”The namesake behind the new album is The Spanish Villager: a mysterious man with a potent message who has proven to be a versatile guy: he’s the subject of a short story Ondara wrote and turned into a graphic novel, and now a new album. Spanish Villager No: 3 follows his 2020 sophomore album, Folk N’ Roll Vol 1: Tales of Isolation, and his 2019 debut album, Tales of America, which received a nomination for Best Americana Album at the 62nd Grammy Awards. Ondara also received a nod for Best Emerging Act at the 2019 Americana Awards.Ondara grew up in Nairobi, Kenya listening to American alt-rock and making up his own songs for as long as he can remember. At an early age he fell in love with the music of Bob Dylan and was granted a visa through the immigration lottery system. He chose Minneapolis as his home to pursue a career as a singer and songwriter with Dylan in mind. He began making his way in the local music scene, continually writing songs about what he saw, felt and experienced in a place far different from home.March 2024Fri 8 - Northcote Social Club, MelbourneSat 9 - Port Fairy Folk FestivalSun 10 - Port Fairy Folk FestivalWed 13 - Lefty’s Music Hall, BrisbaneThu 14 - Trinity Sessions, AdelaideFri 15 - The Great Club, SydneySat 16 - Blue Mountains Folk FestivalSun 17 - Blue Mountains Folk FestivalFOLLOW ONDARA spanishvillager.com | Instagram | Facebook |  Twitter
