The Northern Folk & Amber Isles
The Northern Folk return to Transit Bar after a killer show earlier in the year, with Melbourne buddies Amber Isles in tow.
THE NORTHERN FOLK

Hailing from Albury NSW, The Northern Folk are a collective of eleven musical ambitionists spreading their unique brand of folk/pop/stomp/rock into the roots of small towns and big cities alike. Soaring saxes, roaring brass, and bashful bass frame the Northern Folk's massive vocals, with eight part harmonies in tow. The Folk write in a range of moods, from atmospheric ballads to big-band boot stompers, harkening to the style of The Cat Empire, Saskwatch and Of Monsters and Men.

Thirteen months in the making, Melbourne shoegaze space-rock outfit Amber Isles drop their debut LP November 2016. Tracked and sculpted in a purpose built studio entirely DIY and mixed and mastered out of Brussels, Belgium where project A.I. was first conceived back in 2012, the band hit the road December 1st for a national album tour hitting Canberra on the way.
