The April Maze - 8 April
08 Apr 2011
From Port Fairy to National Folk Festival - The April Maze announce a month of shows in Kangaroo Valley, NSW
Living on the open road of Australia in a 1976 Kombi van, alternative-folk power-duo The April Maze have been touring the country on the back of their recently released single “Where do they go” from their debut album “Recycled Soul” and are headed to Kangaroo Valley between appearances at Port Fairy Folk Festival and National Folk Festival this Autumn.
The duo hailing from opposite ends of the world (Sivan from London, UK and Todd from Cairns, FNQ) have been touring non-stop through Australia and New Zealand for the past 10 months, and will be stopping by The Friendly Inn for a month long residency on Sat 26th March, Sat 2nd April, Fri 8th April and Sat 16th April. The musical duo will also be hosting an open mic night every Sunday to give local musicians an opportunity to showcase their talent and generally have some fun.
Using cello, guitar, banjo, stomp box and strong male-female harmonies, The April Maze combine folk, classical and soul music into their captivating live show. Playing venues ranging from packed clubs and pubs, folk clubs, festivals, markets and everywhere in between, The April Maze are leaving no stone unturned as they take their alt-folk story to the people.
Since forming 5 years ago at Woodford Folk Festival, Todd and Sivan have been busy: over 500 shows, multiple tours/festivals, three EP’s, TV sync and over 3000 CDs sold. Now their first full-length album ‘Recycled Soul’ (co-produced by Hugh McDonald (Redgum) and Ian Pritchett (Beautiful Girls, Angus & Julia Stone) will continue to take them around Australia, before touring internationally to New Zealand, USA, Canada and Europe in 2011-2012.
‘Recycled Soul’ is available now directly from the artist, at www.theaprilmaze.com
