The fundraising efforts for the Harcourt fire recovery continue apace at Shedshaker Taproom, with a brilliant musical double-header featuring Duncan Graham & The Way In (pictured) and Paper Jane this Sunday February 22.
Duncan Graham has been performing his own songs in various outfits for over two decades, most prominently with The Co-Accused. He now has a talent-laden quintet dubbed The Way In to deliver his direct, intentional and melodious music with poetic words woven throughout.
Paper Jane is renown for songs of Australian stories and life beyond the happy ending, from an era when songs weren’t rolled in tinsel. It’s honest, analogue roots music with powerful harmonies and roots swagger that blends of ‘north of the river blues’ and ‘south of the border gospel’.
Shedshaker has a long-standing relationship with the township of Harcourt, having been part of events such as Applefest for many years, with beer storage at the now destroyed Harcourt Co- Operative Coolstore, supplying beer to local businesses and more.
To help Harcourt along the road to recovery, the Taproom has already held or has upcoming a range of fundraising events, including two extremely popular PubSings, several gigs, including one sold out show featuring Hunters (members of Hunters & Collectors) and Paul Dempsey (Something For Kate), a range of special beers on tap including a collaboration beer with 10 Central Victorian breweries and donation buckets on the bar.
Duncan Graham & The Way In and Paper Jane will perform this Sunday 22 at Shedshaker, The Mill, Castlemaine, 9 Walker Street, Castlemaine.
Doors are from 4 pm with music from 5pm.
Entry is by donation, with all proceeds going to bushfire recovery fundraising.
