Ofri

Ofri is a singer-songwriter whose unashamedly candid lyrics and intricate piano-vocal arrangements form a particular (and peculiar) brand of chamber folk. Her artistic assuredness, not to mention the idiosyncrasies of a voice well-worn, imbue her songwriting with a startling clarity and vividness. Her debut single “Body” is a pensive manifesto concerned not just with the self, but also with the rising and falling tides that make up our fleeting identities. Borrowing stylistically from Sufjan Stevens and Moses Sumney, and arranged with Emily-Rose Sarkova (2023 Art Music Awards Jazz Work of the Year finalist), the track is a thoughtful and authentic entrance into the Sydney music scene. Supported by long-time friend and close collaborator EBS, this night of folk-jazz-pop fusion is not to be missed.
