Event Details

GSG are super excited to announce that we will be getting the band back together for one night in Darwin this November.

Come and say hi to Mike, Goughie, Marz and Dopper as we immerse you in sound a vision along with some of our favourite artists to be announced soon.

About GSG
There’s something about Green Stone Garden’s music that remains as elusive and genuine as their home city of Darwin. A remote sensibility, mixed with urban longing. Sometimes you want to escape; sometimes you can’t believe you’ve found paradise at your doorstep.

Together since 2011, alt-rock band Green Stone Garden has become emblematic of the Darwin music scene. They have
received critical and industry recognition with the band winning the rock category of the ‘2013 Northern Territory Song of the
Year Award’ for single ‘The Island’ and lead singer Mike Meston winning the Folk category in 2012.

Green Stone Garden have supported the likes of Boy and Bear, Cat
Empire, Gomez, Jeff Martin, Husky, Dappled Cities and Big Scary, all of whom have permeated the band’s melodies, storytelling and
performance, along with the far away influences of Grizzly Bear and LouReed.

‘The Island’ from ‘North’ EP (released May 2013) garnered airplay around the nation including spot-play on Triple j and also reached a top ten position in the AMRAP charts. As Home and Hosed host Dom Alessio said, “What can I say? This is just an excellent song”. The band was a Triple j Unearthed spotlight artist in May 2013.

After a three-state EP tour, the band featured in the 2013 Darwin Festival. Combining their songs with members of the Darwin Symphony Orchestra and Darwin’s own Choir of Man, the band rendered a widescreen concert experience.

A national treasure’ – ABC Radio

‘Taylor’s voice is the stuff of musical legend’- Canberra City News

With a voice that recalls a huskier, feminine version of Van Morrison, Claire Anne Taylor crafts soulful folk songs that are alternatively lush and intimately earthy. Born in Tasmania’s ancient Tarkine rainforest, Taylor’s music is reflective of her wild and remote upbringing. With a powerfully captivating stage presence, her live shows leave the audience in no doubt that they have just witnessed something extraordinary.

Claire Anne Taylor will be playing a show at the Railway Club to support the release of her new song ‘Hold Me, Darling’. To check out her song, go to: https://youtu.be/06qY-Dnq8NY

* David Garnham *

David Garnham crafts songs about booze and women, fueled by isolation and self-loathing.

His debut album ‘Love inside a jar’, produced by Charles Jenkins and Justin Rudge, has been described as “the start of a substantial career” by the Courier Mail, and took out NT song of the year and the Americana category in the International Songwriting Competition.

“Garnham weaves love, loss, heartbreak and humour into his own particular brand of whisky-soaked nostalgia, awash with alt-country contradictions that are all his own; sweet and hard, buoyant and punchy, redemptive and sad.” – Jenni Kauppi, the AU review
