Blues Roots

This week's PBS Feature Album is High Pass Filter's Nice Coordinated Outfit.

On Saturday July 15, 2023 flamenco fusion 4-piece, Malcura, popped by to perform an exclusive Studio 5 Live set on Fiesta Jazz.

Blending flamenco and rhumba rhythms with everything from funk, to metal, to jazz and swing, Malcura proved why they're such a staple of the local music scene. The sound is all driven by a Spanish nylon string guitar, accompanied by bass and drums.

This July, PBS once again partnered with the City of Yarra to present a huge live-to-air broadcast as part of the annual Leaps and Bounds Music Festival. Each year PBS takes our Thursday afternoon alt-country program to a venue in Yarra and throws a party with some of our favourite local artists.

This year we head to lower Johnston to present Swinging Doors live-to-air from Lulie Tavern between 3pm and 5pm, Thursday July 13.

Pianist and composer, Sinj Clarke, has been quietly building a reputation for his laconic style of composition that is reminiscent of late seventies Italian film scores and sun-drenched exotica. Sinj Clarke’s debut EP Music For An Italian Afternoon showcased his bold orchestration and auteur's attention to detail, which he followed up with double single, 'I Fell In Love, Again' / 'Unas Horas'.
