Details:
David Flower's live show can best be described as a sonic excursion crossing bluesy currents, funky peaks and reggae valleys. This modern day troubadour expresses stories of love, politics and mother nature⦠and is not afraid to hang some dirty washing out on stage.

Flower's individual guitar style combines with charming, lyrical approach to singing and harp playing. The band itself adds a mix of drums, percussion and bass guitar, highlighted by colourful harmonies. This playful rhythm section has a wealth of individual performance experience (Toothfaeries, Lothlorien, Houseprouds), giving Flower the platform for a free spirited, magnetic show.

Since the release of the "David Flower" (self titled) album in November 2006, David has received airplay on Triple J, ABC regional radio, 4AAA and 4ZZZ Brisbane, as well as various community radio stations Australia wide.

What they are saying:

A brilliant act, with a huge presence on stage, Dave Flower empowered his audiences, and was one of the highlights of the festival this year.

A mixture of folk/ rock / blues, they stole the nightâs concert , accelerated the crowds elation with their energised performances and had everyone,( including the festival organisers!), on their feet.

We will hopefully be seeing them again at Wintermoon and I thoroughly recommend their act to any festival or event lucky enough to have them apply.

âThe new David Flower Band is on fire. Lots of rhythm and some of the nicest harmonies to come along in a while"

- Jay Bishop, Peregian Originals
