Enquiring about Saturday 29 July at Brighton Up Bar for the Sydney leg of the SKY AND SEA NATIONAL TOUR.
Gig blurb:
Two of Melbourne’s brightest singer-songwriters are joining forces on their most expansive national tour to date.
Indie-pop chameleon Georgia Fields and live-looping wunderkind Phia present a very special evening of musical dexterity, as they share the stage and each other’s songs – accompanying one another on everything from kalimba to casio, electric guitar to tambourine.
Hitting the road through July and August 2017, the Sky and Sea Tour will see these two unique artists lend their distinctive sound to each other’s material, as they reimagine songs from Fields’ Astral Debris and Phia’s The Ocean of Everything albums, both respectively released in 2016. Expect luscious harmonies, world-class song-craft, and impromptu audience participation.
Fields and Phia met randomly at a Paris open mic night almost 6 years ago. Both hailing from Melbourne, Phia had recently relocated to the cultural mecca of Berlin, and Fields was temporarily adventuring across Europe. The chance encounter sparked a strong creative friendship, with Fields later inviting Phia to guest on her album single Open Orange, and Phia writing an arrangement of Fields’ track Hood and the Hunter for her community choir Melbourne Indie Voices, who performed the song live for Clare Bowditch on ABC Radio National.
Now, Fields and Phia’s creative love affair continues. With new albums under their belts and a growing national audience, the pair present an exciting, collaborative set that showcases their formidable skills as songwriters, vocalists, and multi-instrumentalists.
