Steel City Sue & the Smoke Stacks (Newcastle)
Steel City Sue & the Smoke Stacks live on Awabakal and Worimi country and bring their own brand of acoustic trad-infused 'industrial ragtime folk'. Sue wrote award-winning song Boom Town and is forging a new songbook for Newcastle and Hunter Valley - coal, industrial transition, trains n all. Matters of the heart, driving and a changing climate also feature in this fiddle-driven repertoire.
The trio of multi-instrumentalists features the magnificent musicianship of Naomi Jones (Midnight Chicken) and Tim Merrikin (Hunter Valley Ramblers, Zeal.H) - with Sue and Naomi ripping into twin fiddles, swapping out banjo, guitar - with a little melodica and Cajun accordion on the side.
