Handsome Tours & Double J are thrilled to present US indie folk icon Iron & Wine who returns to Australia and New Zealand this February and March, with special guests Australian folk diviner Leah Senior (excluding Hobart) and Tasmanian-based alt-country singer songwriter Teresa Dixon (Hobart only).
Australian-based folk diviner Leah Senior silences audiences with vivid lyricism and a voice that soars with a disarmingly honest Sandy Denny-like clarity. Quietly revered as a master songwriter, she effortlessly weaves together spring-time baroque pop playfulness with a fragile blend of bedroom folk. Her fourth album The Music That I Make (2023, Poison City Records) reveals Leah at her most intimate, her songs a cycle of vulnerable meditations on what it means to create. The Music That I Make transports the listener to her sandstone shack in Anglesea, where autumnal British folk meets late night AM radio.
Leah Senior’s unique style has attracted not only those in the folk world but the likes of many others including the infamous psych rockers King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, Jeff Tweedy, Calexico, Jessica Pratt and more. Enjoy this moment of wisdom and lyrical wit through crisply picked songs, old world folk dipping into psychedelia.
