After recent appearances at the Tomorrow Festival in Shenzhen China and Big Ears in Knoxville USA, Melbourne-born duo Xylouris White tackle Australia next with a debut appearance at the Queenscliff Music Festival and a run of east coast dates. The dynamic duo; lute player George Xylouris and drummer Jim White, will also include Meeniyan, Hepburn Springs, Hobart, Wollongong and Canberra alongside big city plays in Sydney and Melbourne.
The tour comes off the back of 2023’s release The Forest in Me, an instrumental album drawn from multiple sessions spawned across two continents; Jim in New York City and George in Crete and pulled together by non-performing band member Guy Picciotto. If previous albums drew critical appraise the response for this, their fifth album, has been exultant.
Live Xylouris White are an even more compelling entity. White; with a style that can sound like a full band one minute and something stark and beautiful the next and Xylouris; a self-taught master of the lute with a background in traditional Greek folk and weddings, parties, anything – master musicians both with a supernatural power to express themselves as one.
