Heaps: New Songs of Abundance

About

When Adelaide-born musician, Robin Parkin, decided to create a concert out of the songs he had been writing for the last decade, he came to a realisation: that by accident almost all of his songs were about his love for his people.

Songs for parents. Songs for siblings. Songs for friends, lovers, aunties, uncles, babies. Songs that, one way or another, said, "Thanks." Or, "I got you."

Performed in collaboration with Emma Borgas (soprano), Rachel Bruerville (alto, cello) and Tom Kneebone (guitar), 'Heaps' brings you songs in the tradition of soulful folk artists like the Wailin' Jennys, the Weepies and First Aid Kit, mixed alongside pop, country and soul sounds.

With arrangements inspired by the chamber singing tradition where Robin cut his teeth, let the sounds of close harmony singing wash over you in this new collection of songs honouring the people we love. Heaps.

Please note that this performance will also be recorded for later release.
