2026: 09/12 Nigel Wearne @ The A-Frame
Description
Concert start time: 7:30PM.
Nigel Wearne saunters after dark in the music of the night, blending blues, jazz and Americana-noir. Hailing from Gunditjmara country in the deep south of Australia, he's a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist (piano, banjo) with diverse influences such as Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Rickie Lee Jones. A deep thinker and truth seeker with a penchant for all things peculiar, he sings of human frailty, grace and the cosmos; songwriting that cuts to the bone. “Django Reinhardt with a cowboy twist" – GRATEFUL WEB. “Tailor made for fans of Tom Waits... with fire and brimstone lyrics that recall Nick Cave" – RHYTHMS MAGAZINE.
