SUMMARY:THE SONGS OF TOM WAITS & ELVIS COSTELLO
LOCATION:Kindred Bandroom
DESCRIPTION:The Songwriter Series: The Songs of Tom Waits & Elvis Costello
  / A Double Bill There are songwriters whose work captures a particular mo
 ment in time\, and there are those whose songs seem to exist outside it. T
 om Waits and Elvis Costello belong firmly in the latter category. Emerging
  from very different musical traditions\, each developed a singular artist
 ic voice - one drawn to the overlooked corners of American life\, the othe
 r to the restless possibilities of post-war British popular music. Both ha
 ve spent decades resisting convention\, following their curiosity wherever
  it led\, and in doing so created two of the most distinctive catalogues i
 n contemporary songwriting. This special edition of The Songwriter Series 
 brings together two complete live productions - Blue Valentines: The Tom W
 aits Songbook and Everyday I Write The Hook: The Songs of Elvis Costello -
  in a single evening devoted to their work. The first half explores the ri
 ch\, strange and cinematic world of Tom Waits through a carefully curated 
 selection of songs drawn from across his remarkable catalogue\, including 
 Blue Valentines\, Invitation To The Blues\, Christmas Card From A Hooker I
 n Minneapolis\, Jockey Full Of Bourbon\, Downtown Train and Take It With M
 e. The songs are inhabited by dreamers\, late-night wanderers\, small-town
  romantics\, bartenders\, boxers and broken-hearted philosophers\; stories
  where tenderness sits comfortably beside absurdity\, and humour often arr
 ives in the company of regret. Rather than attempting to recreate Waits' u
 nmistakable voice or stage persona\, Blue Valentines approaches the materi
 al through the songwriting itself\, allowing the emotional weight\, wit an
 d humanity of the compositions to come into focus. The second half turns t
 o Elvis Costello \, whose songs have long occupied a unique place in popul
 ar music. Marrying sophisticated harmony with lyrical precision\, Costello
 's writing has embraced punk\, soul\, country\, chamber pop\, jazz and rhy
 thm and blues without ever losing its unmistakable identity. Everyday I Wr
 ite The Hook spans the first two decades of his recording career\, combini
 ng enduring favourites including Alison\, Watching The Detectives\, Pump I
 t Up\, Oliver's Army\, Everyday I Write The Book and Veronica with careful
 ly chosen album tracks that reveal the breadth and ambition of his writing
 . Neither production is built on impersonation or nostalgia. Instead\, bot
 h seek to honour the original recordings through careful musicianship and 
 thoughtful interpretation\, placing the emphasis where it has always belon
 ged: on the songs themselves. Presented by Melbourne musician Victor Stran
 ges\, The Songwriter Series continues an ongoing exploration of the writer
 s who have shaped popular music - not simply through commercial success\, 
 but through the enduring quality of their work and its influence on genera
 tions of artists that followed. Featuring: Victor Stranges – vocals & gu
 itar (The Methinks\, Black Market Clash\, Atomic) Mike Dupp – keyboards 
 (The Methinks\, Black Market Clash\, Atomic\, Adele Show) Garry Allen – 
 guitar (Black Market Clash\, Atomic\, Crossbones Boogie\, Kahuna Daddies)

 ore\, Talk That Walk) Annette Yates – double bass (Morgana\, Joe Ruberto
  Quartet\, The Garland Minelli Effect) Frank Scalzo – drums & vocals (Th
