The River
The folk-rock duo of Joe Ravenhall and Chris Brebner appeared at Elsewhere previously with their Live at Breb's Bar last year.
Impressive songwriters, expressive singers – we'd put them in the Don Walker/Jimmy Barnes axis but Bob Seger also comes to mind on the more assertive material – and storytellers, Ravenhall deserve more attention from mainstream radio than maybe they will get.
Recorded in Roundhead Studio in Auckland, these songs of lyrical sinew and strong melodies have a firm emotional grip and emerge from acoustic-framed structures which come from folk, country and singer-songwriter traditions.
Well worth checking out.
