UNDERSCORE blurs the line between music, storytelling, song and recitation as acclaimed writers perform excerpts of their work over a lush electro-acoustic soundscape provided by Sally Ford and the Idiomatics.
The live readings by writers Maxine Beneba Clark, Brian Nankervis and Sean O’Beirne are bookmarked by songs and stories from the band, featuring Sally Ford’s wryly-observed lyrics of life, love and lived experience.
UNDERSCORE launched in mid-2023 at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and Melbourne’s Brunswick Ballroom to hugely enthusiastic audiences, and have since presented iterations of the project at Melbourne’s Malthouse Outdoor Stage, Clunes Booktown Festival, The Athenaeum Library, Readings Bookstore’s 50th Anniversary, Beleura House and a return performance at the Brunswick Ballroom.
