IN THE spirit of “Random Creative Adventures”, Clare Bowditch is celebrating the release of her new single “One Little River” by heading out on the road with a new band – a band that includes you!
That’s right, it’s Winter Secrets time again people!
But what is Winter Secrets? Look, it’s a concept, it’s an experience, it’s a happening … it’s actually goddamn unique, and the reason it sells out every year is simply because no-one else does it.
In short, Winter Secrets is an “annual institution” where CB takes one super-talented collaborator (last time it was Lanie Lane, this time it’s new wunderkind Spender), and creates an absolutely mind-blowing show all around Australia where you, the audience, get to be her back-up band (but only if you want to. No pressure dude).
Importantly, the night is also a chance for one really talented musician in each state to join Clare on stage for a cover of One Little River and be in the running for $1000 worth of prizes (info on the audition process at www.clarebowditch.com – Clare chooses all winners).The inimitable female singer-songwriter Clare Bowditch has had a busy few years as a mum and evolving performer.
In 2012 she was placed into the heads and hearts of 10’s hugely popular TV show Off spring. In 2011 she was crowned Rolling Stone Magazine’s ‘Woman of the Year’ for her contribution to culture. She was also hand-picked by the legendary Leonard Cohen to open shows on his Australian tour.
Winter Secrets is moving, heartfelt, hilarious, and true. They are all one-off events, full of new songs and the kinds of stories that only Clare can tell. Don’t miss out …
