There are some musical duos so meant-to-be-together, you\u2019d hear folks say they must be \u201cjoined at the hip.\u201d<\/p>\n
When we first saw them in concert, it was startlingly clear that this pair sat very squarely in that category.<\/p>\n
World-roving troubadors, Rain Of Animals, a richly euphonious collaboration between Pepita Emmerichs (Oh Pep!) and Theodore Barnard (Wire & Wool) grew from their love of all things mandolin, fiddle, guitar, harmony vocals, bluegrass, old-time, swing, and much, much more. Spanning originals to arrangements of classics and rare gems they\u2019ve unearthed on their travels, their sound is both new and old; enchanting in its instrumental wizardry and musical integrity.<\/p>\n
More than happy to keep it mellow and acoustic, the duo first met and formed after an impromptu jam session in a legendary Melbourne bar in 2018, and they have continued to perform, write and tour together ever since.<\/p>\n
Like many musicians who had such a tough time coping with the frustrations created by the pandemic, while prevented from performing for others, they busied themselves writing new songs and re-modelling older material, determined to make the best impression when they got the chance to re-emerge. As a result, they released two albums in 2022, one instrumental and the other, song-based.<\/p>\n
Recorded during the very depths of lockdown in rural Perthshire,\u00a0Nali\u2019s World<\/em>\u00a0represented a previous few years\u2019 worth of instrumental fiddle tunes that were composed by Pepi and Theo throughout their musical adventures in Australia, Scotland and Europe.<\/p>\n Inspired by the landscapes and people they encountered along the way, guitar, fiddle, and mandolin never far from reach, the collection was self-produced and recorded (playing all instruments including double bass, cello, mandocello & tenor guitar) in their home-based studio.<\/p>\n The tracks were sent to respected Nashville engineer Sean Sullivan (Molly Tuttle, Sturgill Simpson) for him to work his magic.<\/p>\n Friends of the Cologne-based band, Stereo Naked (also represented here), they are very much kindred spirits and have performed together and collaborated on different projects from time to time<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"all-things-mandolin-fiddle-guitar-harmony-vocals-bluegrass-oldtime-and-swing","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2024-08-21 19:30:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"08","day":"21","hour":"19","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2024-08-21 23:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"08","day":"21","hour":"23","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2024-08-21 18:30:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"08","day":"21","hour":"18","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2024-08-21 22:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"08","day":"21","hour":"22","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"Europe\/London","timezone_abbr":"BST","cost":"\u00a315","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"\u00a3","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":["15"]},"website":"https:\/\/brookfield-knights.com\/contact\/","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Live Music","slug":"live-music","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":10,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"Music performed to an audience by musicians.
