ARTIST BIO:
Hi!
My name’s Jemima Dunsmore, I’m a 20-year-old independent artist from Sydney Australia. I have had a passion for creating music for as long as I can remember, and I am ready to share it with you! I love writing in all types of genres, whether its Pop, Jazz, R&B, I aspire to deliver my music through poetic language for my audience to connect with on a deeper level. The aim of my music is for the listener to feel like they can relate, bringing a sense of comfort for them and for people who do not relate to bring a sense of understanding. At the same time, I want to provide good energy in my music so people can have fun while listening! I hope you continue to enjoy all types of music you love, and I can’t wait to show you mine!
*ACCESSIBILITY: The Gallery Lounge is located on the ground floor of Meraki Arts Bar, and is wheelchair accessible via a slight incline ramp at the front doors on Oxford Street.
Sydney’s Inner West-based Kid Hank brings the vibrancy of the New Orleans French quarter to your local.
The joyful rendition of Nola street music gives its audience a reminder of a time gone by. Having played the style for years, the band understands the ins and outs of the music and how to best recreate it for a modern audience. Despite being a traditional-inspired group, watching Kid Hank play live isn’t traditional at all.
Henry, alongside his father, have composed songs in ways that scream ’20s and ’30s but still have a modern twist. Roaring intertwining horns soar across the chugging railway-like rhythm section to bring you an old but familiar sound. Being most at home playing on their acoustic instruments, the band happily walks down the street or the aisles of any concert they play.
Kid Hank uses repertoire consisting of a mix between creole-clave based jazz, as well as a standard steamboat swing. If you’re lucky, an old rag-time tune might be thrown in to add a little spice to the swimming pool of musical gumbo. Whatever style it is, it’s guaranteed to surprise and get you dancing, and maybe even generate an occasional tear.
Socials:
