Having released two albums since they were last in the country five years ago, While and Matthews are set to play their newer music alongside some of their older favourites.<\/p>\n
Solo musician and school teacher, Stan Woodhouse, also known as Skyscraper Stan, is set to perform on stages at Creswick Primary School and Leaver\u2019s.<\/p>\n
A lover of story and language who moves between the genres of soul, country, folk, and rock and roll, Woodhouse became embedded in the Ballarat arts community when he moved to the city just over three years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy journey through music has been one of songcraft, and learning that, while doing my best to perfect it, but still miles away, because no one ever can,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSongcraft and showmanship are my two favourite things to do as a musician and I\u2019m a sucker for attention, so I like to put on a good show.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be playing some of my songs that many people in this area will be familiar with, and road-testing some new stuff that I promise is good, or at least, my girlfriend thinks so.<\/p>\n
\u201cFans of longer winded storytelling songs should enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n
While and Matthews will be hot off the back of gigs at the Blue Mountains Music Festival, and the Port Fairy and Yackandandah folkies.<\/p>\n
While said these types of regional events, just like CresFest, are \u201ckind of the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSmall festivals mean so much to communities, and we really appreciate them.\u201d she said. \u201cOrganisers are there because it means a lot to them. They do it because of the music.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt a small festival you get to see everybody, and people get to meet each other. It\u2019s lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
