Event Details
With over 20 albums under his own name over a 30-year career, guitarist Marc Ribot has explored every mood from the pioneering jazz of Albert Ayler to the Cuban son of Arsenio Rodríguez.
He is well-known to wider audiences as the man who "helped Tom Waits refine a new, weird Americana on 1985's Rain Dogs, and since then he's become the go-to guitar guy for all kinds of roots-music adventurers: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp" (Rolling Stone).
His 2010 solo album Silent Movies made the LA Times ‘Best of 2010’ list and was deemed a "down-in-mouth-near master piece" by the Village Voice.
His monumental 2014 release, Marc Ribot Trio Live at the Village Vanguard, made DownBeat Magazine’s ‘Best of 2014’ and NPR’s 50 Favourites.
2018 sees the release of two politically charged albums: YRU Still Here?, the long awaited third album from Ribot’s post-rock/noise trio Ceramic Dog, and Songs of Resistance, featuring guest vocalists Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Meshell Ndegeocello and more, voicing anger and outrage during these turbulent times.
Special Support: Jess Green's Bright Sparks
Award-winning Canberra guitarist Jess Green has several albums under her own name and launched her art-pop project Pheno at last year’s Vivid festival.
