JACK LADDER

"Ladder is mesmerising." Eleven Magazine

How to describe the sounds of Jack Ladder? Imagine Leonard Cohen driving through Detroit singing along to Little Richard on the radio. Now imagine Detroit is a vast beach located somewhere north of Sydney.

Ladder takes the sounds of early R&B, alt-country, folk and blues, subsuming them all into a rich blend which is both classic and unique alongside poignant lyrics, occasionally humorous - always honest - tales of love found, lost and discarded. His gifts have not gone unnoticed - his story tale songs have earned him heavy radio play and a series of national tours with Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Bill Callahan (Smog), Pajo and Okkervil River.

Date performing: 30 December 2009
Stage: The Lyrebird
