The Music Wizard of Oz: 11. Sep 2015 Rain Dance at the Boston Brewery, Denmark

When you hit the road from Margaret River in the west of WA to the dreamlike white beaches of Esperance, you pass the small and inconspicuous town of Denmark. Now in this town there is a Brewery, called the Boston Brewery that is not only famous for its superb beers and wood-fired Pizzas but also for the open air live music, held there regularly. When you attend to a show that is open air, you always take the risk of getting wet. From some sprinkles to totally soaked and everything in between is possible. That's part of the deal. Luckily it remained quite dry for most of the evening which certainly couldn't stop the visitors from dancing.

Martin Shenfield

Albany based singer-songwriter Martin Shenfield made the start for the evening. Playing the bass, guitar, tambourine and singing, he sure is an allround musician. Therefore it is not surprising that Martin is standing on stage all alone. But that doesn't spoil the quality of his music. Quite the opposite he reminds of a yong Bob Dylan with his folky guitar strumming and deep lyrics. Kicking the tambourine with his foot gives his music the fitting percussion support. A pinch of modern indie and pop music styles meet the expectation and taste of todays musical taste and makes his music even more enjoyable. A great opening act for a great evening.

Caravãna Sun

The headliner of the evening was Caravãna Sun, an Aussie-made but increasing worldwide recognized band. As the name suggests, they are pure sunshine on stage and bring sunshine to their audiences hearts. No matter if young or old - everybody feels the sudden urge to dance, although the weather god wasn't very generous. Their secret? A big load of summery, easy going vibes well hidden behind high musical skills matched with pure joy in what they are doing. Their music style reaches from Reggae guitar upstrokes to pop keyboard harmonics, from Ska-like trumpet (and wind) solos to a steady groovy bass, all rounded up by easy lyrics and a tight beat. Slow and relaxed passages meet energetic, pure life-enjoying flows. A nice mix of all these elements is their recipe to spread catchy tunes into their audiences ears that will surely not be forgotten for the rest of the evening (or much longer). The perfect music to welcome spring.
