TWO voices and two instruments drawing on a myriad of influences will entertain a Swan Hill audience next month.
Brooke Taylor and Delsinki bring a wealth of experience in their exciting new collaboration going under the moniker The Deserters.
There’s new songs, some choice new covers, all presented with the same down-home charm and urbane wit they have become respectively known for.
The Deserters promises to be an exciting new chapter in the career of this pair of much loved and hard working Melbourne players.
Taylor said she knew Delsinki because they were both St Kilda locals who met through mutual friends and had a similar taste in music.
“Each year or so, Craig (Delsinki) will typically collaborate with a different artist, and two years ago we wrote an EP Love One together,” she told beat.come.au.
“When we’re writing together, typically one of us will come up with a part or a melody, and then we’ll just throw it out to the other person to see what they come up with.
“Autumn, from our Love One EP, was originally a line on a mandolin, which ended up being the main vocal melody for the song, and lyrically it’s just whatever one of us is going through at the time.
“Typically we’ll complement each other’s songs with harmonies and instrumentation, and then the ones we wrote together are straight down the middle.
“We do our best to bring a lot of energy to the stage, and also really bring the songs to life.
“Genre-wise it’s a slight shift for me, and pretty much everything I do turns into a country-pop song, however working with Craig we explore more rock and folk and blues. Working together is a great support to try new things.”
The duo will perform at Swan Hill Town Hall on Sunday, March 10 at 3pm.
Tickets to the two-hour show are $15 per person.
