TSAR GREEN at The Goulburn Club
- On November 2, 7.30pm – 10,30pm, Goulburn Club. Admission: free. Telephone: 4821 2043
TSAR GREEN's style isn't what you would normally expect from an acoustic performer. Coming from a classical background, with vocals rooted in a Cohenesque mindset, the themes of an introspective balladeer, hooks the ‘80s would be proud of, and chord progressions leaning to the experimental side of things, this certainly is an act that differs from your regular band of singer-songwriter. A genre-bender, TSAR GREEN's set is sure to mix things up, with a range of covers and originals based in rock, folk, and pop, with elements of blues, classical, alternative, jazz, and experimental blending in.
