Occasionally, a voice grips you—makes a song feel like the arrival of an old friend, even when you don’t know the words. Jack Raymond has one of those voices. It’s the crackling of a campfire, boots on a gravel road, whisky meeting ice. A sound that feels both brand new and timeless.
Hailing from the mountain town of Harrietville, Victoria, and now calling Noosa home, Raymond brings his signature “mountain roots” style to The Bearded Lady. Rugged, raw, and steeped in blues with an easy rock undertone, his storytelling is woven from life on the road and the characters he’s met along the way.
Special Guest: Greasy Bennett Opening the night is Greasy Bennett, a songwriter who takes a humble approach to Australian folk. His music is woven from a mind entranced by the landscapes of both his home and his travels. Led by the strong voice of his guitar, Greasy honours the fading art of the great finger-pickers of the late ’60s and ’70s, drawing inspiration from legends like Nick Drake, John Martyn, and Bob Dylan. With vulnerability in melody and lyric, his songs are crafted to strike the heart of even the surliest of men.
Don’t miss a night of raw, heartfelt storytelling and soulful music at The Bearded Lady.
