Nick and Liesl WA Tour 09
In Febuary 2009 NSW based acoustic/roots duo Nick and Liesl will be flying coast
to coast for their first Western Australian tour, with a list of show (see
below) finishing with the Nannup Music Festival Feb 28th to Mar 1st.
An enchanting duo. Two unique voices, flowing harmonies and captivating songs
seem to bring Nick and Liesl a loving reception wherever they go. Their
distinctive sound is the coming together of two singer/songwriters with
influences ranging from Nick's love of Cat Stevens and James Taylor to Liesl's
classical songbooks and the local folk music of her childhood home Sweden.
Although only two people, the pair present a sound that fills large theatres and
small village churches alike. Their stories are many and varied, as is their
performance, with each switching between instruments along to the ever-present
stomp box and tambourine.
After forming while on tour in Europe in early 2007, Nick and Liesl first gained
recognition as a brilliant live act performing at festivals throughout Australia
and supporting artist such as Kate Miller-Heike, Harry Manx, Kasey Chambers and
Shane Nicholson. In 2008 Nick and Liesl completed their second European tour
playing to packed venues and festivals in Sweden, Germany & the UK before
returning home to launch their debut EP Wyong River at The Basement in Sydney.
Both local and international recognition earned them an invitation to Popkomm in
Berlin as part of an Australian showcase along with artists Clare Bowditch and
Sarah McCleod. While continuing with their success on the Australian festival
circuit the EP received an ABC award, national airplay on ABC and Triple J and
an inclusion on Home Grown Roots Vol 3 along with artists Paul Kelly, John
Butler, Mia Dyson, Ash Grunwald and Karl Broadie.
Described by Drum Media (Sydney) as "a more melodic Waifs…a grown-up Angus &
Julia Stone".
In a review of Home Grown Roots Vol 3 Thedwarf.com wrote
"There are some real gems like Nick and Liesl's beautiful vocals and earthy
lyrics on Wyong River"
