THE BRIDGE
with Raging Flowers, Ravi the Poet, Solomon Cole
Sunday 24 November, 4 – 6pm
Raging Flowers, singer-songwriter-producer from Auckland making music to understand emotions. Storytelling indie pop that’s funny, dark, and intimate.
Ravi The Poet has captured the vulnerable thoughts of an artist traversing the modern world. Polishing his craft at open mics, recently worked on his own Fringe Festival offering. He merges the boundaries between poetry, theatre, and art.
Solomon Cole and band play the type of music god-fearing parents warn their children about – their sound marries the blues effigies of Son House, R L Burnside, embraces the spirit of Howlin’ Wolf – all the while delivering it with the rock’n’roll swagger.
