International folkie bound for Cobden
IRISH/CANADIAN powerhouse Irish Mythen and Australian folk troubadour Kaurna Cronin will play a Port Fairy Folk Festival side show in Cobden.
Tickets are on sale now for the show at Alderwood Manor on Thursday, March 5.
This show is supported by Corangamite Shire.
Council events and creative industries team leader Tammy Young said it was a fantastic opportunity for locals to see an international artist perform in Cobden.
“Festival producer Woodfordia has been running four seasonal tours each year since 2013 and this time Cobden is on the map,” she said.
“It’s a great way to get hold of top artists while they are in the area and have them perform for people who can’t make it to the big events.
“We encourage anyone who loves music to come along and make the most of the chance to see amazing, award-winning artists up close and personal in an intimate venue like Alderwood Manor.”
Council is supporting the event through the Grow and Prosper Creative Industries action plan.
Irish Mythen is a globally acclaimed artist known for their raw vocal power, magnetic stage presence and ability to forge deep connections with audiences.
Originally from Ireland and now based in Prince Edward Island, Canada, Irish’s career highlights include a JUNO nomination, multiple award wins, and performances at iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House and Glastonbury Festival.
