About this concert
The songdream continues… the road reveals
Sam Lee’s critically acclaimed fourth album ‘songdreaming’ recounts songs of old, come new, tapping into the source of ancient folk narratives connecting us to the natural world. Receiving a 5-star review from The Guardian, this deeply personal body of work emerges from his wide-ranging work as a naturalist, ecological activist, folksong collector and sonic trailblazer.
Sam has crafted a unique reimagining of songs, artfully narrating the kinship between us and our landscapes. The woodlands, rivers, birds and the ancestors who stewarded them.
This is folk music as both map and memory, through visions and revisions, soulful, raw, unrefined, and deeply connected to the soil. This record imagines what creative ‘response-ability’ means in the protection and adoration of our natural and folk heritage.
With Special Guests Spafford Campbell playing alongside the band featuring music from their debut album Tomorrow Held released on Realworld records.
