Australian Folk Music Awards Finalists 2021 (for Folk Artist of the Year – Duo/Group), Melbourne's Rich Davies & The Low Road release Living For The Weekend, a modern-day land-shanty recorded live for cameras for their new EP 'Live From Brunswick'.
Rich Davies & The Low Road deliver a ‘foot-stomping' contemporary folk attack’ (Mick Thomas, Weddings Parties Anything). Featuring trad-roots instrumentation, 5 part gang vocals, and narrative-driven songs, delivered with the ferocity of a rock band. Scotland born, Melbourne based, Davies draws from his heritage and love of the old folk traditions across Mountain Music, Celtic, and even Shanty, through to 60’s Folk Revival influences. Honouring folks' rich history with rousing sweat-drenched performances and drawing comparisons like 'The Pogues meets Springsteen' with The Low Road’s visceral rock'n'folk'n'roll.'
