Troubadour Folk Club will present a double-header concert by Sydney-based Kejafi and Tasmania’s Marcus Sturrock at Everglades Country Club, Woy Woy, on Friday, July 21, at 7pm.
Kejafi’s music stems from a love of traditional folk tunes and songs that celebrate the deep cultural connections between Australia and Scotland.
Their music re-imagines older tunes and songs to the modern era, some of which have strongly influenced folk music in Australia.
They also bring beautifully composed original material that keeps the living tradition of folk music alive and thriving.
Interwoven dual fiddles, playfully switching between countermelody and unison accompanied by octave mandolin, bring a fresh and modern interpretation to traditional folk music, connecting to the present time and place.
The band released its first album Coast in late 2019 and has performed widely, including at the Sydney Opera House, National Celtic Festival, Baltimore Fiddle Fair filmed live on Sydney Harbour and multiple times at the Australian Celtic Festival, St Albans Folk Festival, Yass Irish and Celtic Festival and Sydney Folk Festival.
Marcus Sturrock intersperses story-telling, sometimes humorous and often related to some fascinating people he’s met on his world concert tours, in between singing, vocal scatting in harmony with his guitar notes and instrumental performances.
As one of the known pioneers of intricate guitar body percussion, he occasionally incorporates percussive beats on the guitar’s body while playing.
