Live music with Australian musician Floyd Thursby

Sat 18 Jul 2015, 8 pm
Hanoi Social Club

From the organizer:

Songpoet Floyd Thursby creates uniquely evocative folk and country songs with striking lyrics and strong melodies. He performs solo: one guitar, one voice.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, Thursby will be performing his original songs at the Hanoi Social Club on Saturday, 18 July 2015, exploring the collective – and personal – unconscious: love and death, brimstone and ecstasy, the sacred and the profane.

Thursby’s critically-acclaimed debut album ‘A Thief’s Journal’ was released in 2007 on Ang Fang Industries through MGM. Thursby’s new album ‘Sinatra’s Bones’ is out now.

PRESS:
‘Finally, a folk/country record where you can tell one song from another… Thursby writes with just enough ornament to trigger your imagination, never straying into pretension… This album is hard to fault.’ – Forte Magazine

‘Floyd Thursby has a fascinating voice… But of course, all that would be insignificant without great songs as vehicles for that voice. Thursby has armfuls of them. There’s not an uninteresting moment on this debut LP… an endlessly rewarding recording.’ – Rhythms magazine

‘An intriguing sketch of brilliant songwriting… The band has delivered a masterpiece… “A Thief’s Journal” goes straight to the poolroom.’ – Rave Magazine (BRIS)

‘Lyrics from Bob Dylan’s new album? No, from Floyd Thursby’s debut self-titled 5-track CD. Go see him and hear for yourself. A powerful new addition to Australia’s most original singer/songwriters.’ – Billy Pinnell

Tickets at door: 100,000 VND
