Who: Andrew Morris
Where: Sheoak Shack, Fingal
When: March 2
Andrew Morris released his sixth solo release, The Situationist, late last year and now he’s taking it back to the fans.
Inspired by Tom Hodgkinson’s counter-consumer culture manifesto “How To Be Free”, Morris summoned as many of the members of The Gin Club as he could muster and put on the beers at his newly set up Northern Rivers home studio.
The Situationist is what ensued, a collection of warm and spontaneous gems.
Reflecting his current solo shows, The Situationist includes live favourites such as Dylan’s ‘It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry’, Gillian Welch’s ‘Look At Miss Ohio’ and Tim Rogers’ (You Am I) ‘Heavy Heart’.
It is completed by an acoustic reworking of ‘Lover’ from Morris’s Needs & Wants album and a handful of new originals, including ‘The Uplift’, featuring some of Banjo Patterson’s writing set to music.
Known for his work with The Wilson Pickers and Bernard Fanning, Morris will release The Situationist on his own new label – Soul Arch Recordings – and he also has a few other exciting upcoming releases in the works too.
