The Michael J Brady Trio are bringing their folk-guitar driven set to the Ellington for their debut Perth show. Guitarist Michael J Brady weaves melodies between the guitar, double bass, and drum set. With drummer Ryu Kodama and bassist Oscar Peterson, the trio explores the beautiful corners of each instrument through dynamic builds and effects. Brady draws influence widely from Americana guitarists like Julian Lage and Tony Rice, and Australian Jazz artists like Alister Spence and Sandy Evans. The trio have toured Australia’s east coast, and performed alongside artists such as Evans, Stella Anning (MEL), Flora Carbo (VIC), and Sasha Gavlek (TAS).
Kicking off a National Tour – this performance will feature two sets from the trio. Each set will draw on music from Brady’s debut record Brady//Donkin//Phipps, as well as his upcoming Live release. For the second set, the trio will be joined by Perth local Matt Smith.
