SINGER-songwriters Claire Anne Taylor and \u00c1ine Tyrrell are holding a double album launch to celebrate their new releases.<\/p>\n
They are performing All the Words and Returnto the Sea respectively at Scrub Hill 1869, a converted blue stone church event space in Newlyn.<\/p>\n
Tasmanian based Taylor and Byron Bay resident Tyrrell Taylor connected musically at a festival in Bellingen NSW and discovered a mutual love of each other\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
Taylor said it is a co-incidence that both albums were released within a month of each other.<\/p>\n
She had performed at Scrub Hill 1869 previously and suggested it was a great place for them to launch together.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is something about it that is quite captivating with a beautiful sound to it,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cIt must be the reverberance of the stone in the walls.\u201d<\/p>\n
The space suits the type of music that both musicians create.<\/p>\n
Tyrell is a poignant story teller with a really powerful stage presence while Taylor described her music as soulful folk.<\/p>\n
Taylor\u2019s inspiration comes from themes of family and landscape and the big life moments such as grief and losing someone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI explore the big questions in life quite a bit in my song writing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Story is at the forefront for Tyrrell whose compositions are influenced deeply by her Irish roots.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy music is a call to arms, a siren\u2019s wisdoms and warnings, and most importantly the soundtrack of a woman who walks her own beat,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The double album launch is at Scrub Hill 1869 1713 Daylesford Ballarat Road, Newlyn on Sunday, 5 May from 3pm to 6pm.<\/p>\n
