"The best kept secret of the Dandenongs" - Washington Irving
The Boltons go wayfaring through intriguing and less-travelled musical landscapes, out where the fences are few and far between. These intrepid explorers bring a wealth of influences from many years of folk, classical, jazz, acoustic and rock performances. Atmospheric violin and accordion in conversation with acoustic guitar and double-bass trace sparkling lines around memorable melodies, nuanced vocals and evocative lyrics.
Tom Bolton (acoustic guitar and vocals) will be joined on stage with Peter Anderson (accordion), Reave Maloney (double-bass) and Emma Rodda (violin).
“Bolton’s knack for winsome-pretty, winning melodies is a cut above 1000 other guys and gals with an acoustic guitar that want to sing to us about love and its discontents. Instead of wasting our time, he fills it with small, steady wonders”
– Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover, New York
