Wendy Rule Persephone Album Launch

PermalinkNews, , , , , ,

Join us for the launch of Wendy Rule’s magnificent double album ‘Persephone’ which explores the modality of Greek Drama in Rule’s own indomitable style. Having forged a career based out of Melbourne for many years, Rule now resides in the artistic city of Santa Fe New Mexico, so the chance to catch a full band Wendy Rule album launch is one to star on your calendar. The launch is happening Saturday 23rd at The Thornbury Theatre.

We are performing the entire album – two 45 minute sets – and this is a rare one off featuring all the instrumentalists and most of the singers who performed on the album. The album notably features vibes/marimba/percussion by Elissa Goodrich, and cello by Rachel Samuel, and guitar and sound design by Timothy Van Diest. The voice of Hades is performed by the charismatic Matt Malone! The backing vocals are a bit more special than your average BV, with Callie Galati, Melody Moon, and Talie Helene providing a chorus of Priestesses who contextualise the drama in a ritualistic culturally informed way. We are being joined by other beautiful soulful practitioners to herald in this amazing evening of myth and magic.

There’s also an opening band, Sangara, who are performing while dinner is served for those who booked “dinner and a show” tickets. 

Doors open at 7pm, and while pre-sales have been awesome (Wendy Rule star power!), you can still rock up and get tickets on the door. Be fantabulous to see people there!

Publisher Blurb:

The Wild Musette Journal is an anthology of music, mystery, and myth featuring the best in fiction and poetry. The Journal centers around themes of music and dance, but along the way ventures very far afield.

In The Sin Eater you’ll find traditional Cape Breton fiddle music, gender-fluid space pirates, a spicy recipe for a failed relationship, misbehaving magic clothes, a son fighting against the sea, and a spirit zoo.
