Rain in the Mountains - Songs of Henry Lawson CD and shows
Picture
What a wonderful performance and marriage with Henry's poems. Your performance as a singer and musician is delightful and I was completely taken by how you own this music. Your fellow musicians and singers are also superb in their performances. 
Warren Daly, OAM, musician


"There are subtleties, skill and impressive musicianship in the way these songs have been put together and I suspect this CD will become a landmark in the interpretation of Australian folk song." 
Graham McDonald, Recorded Sound Archivist, National Film and Sound Archive of Australia




Rain in the Mountains: The album


The CD features performances from a number of exceptional musicians from the Blue Mountains and beyond. 
Musical settings are by writers as diverse as celebrated songwriters Slim Dusty and John Schumann, jazz composer Ade Monsbourgh and folk musician Chris Kempster, as well as several originals.

The CD continues an ongoing project that started with the re-editing and re-publishing of Chris Kempster's Henry Lawson songbook for the NSW Folk Federation.

The show received an overwhelmingly positive response as a compelling union of stunning musical settings with Lawson's timeless lyrics, and a showcase of Australian cultural history.
