South Australia has a new boutique festival called Silver Raven Festival.
Nestled in the idyllic surrounds of the Barossa Valley, Silver Raven Festival is an Americana-tinged festival that will feature Jason Isbell (owner of Rolling Stone’s #7 album of 2015), female Johnny Cash-reincarnate Eilen Jewell and the debauched, guitar maelstrom of Endless Boogie.
The Audreys
The 2 April festival will also serve as the perfect, bittersweet farewell to Adelaide darlings The Audreys. The line-up will be completed by garage rock & roll masters Bad//Dreems, noir alt-rocker five-piece Koral & The Goodbye Horses, honky-tonk duo Hana & Jessie-Lee (The Sloe Ruin) and the young blues and soul prodigy, Ollie English.
Dan Crannitch, music programmer of Silver Raven, says: “This line-up is all about quality over quantity: from arguably one of the finest songwriters of our generation, Jason Isbell, to the absolutely stunning songbird Eilen Jewell playing alongside some of Adelaide – and the world’s – great musicians... and what a special way to farewell one of Adelaide’s most beloved bands, The Audreys.”
Food on the day will be fresh from the mobile kitchen of the much loved catering /art installation team behind The Neon Lobster and Here’s To Now Festival: The Happy Motel, while Turkey Flat are proud to present their award-winning wines.
Silver Raven Festival takes place at Turkey Flat Vineyards (Barossa Valley) 2 April.
