Dirty Three's
Mick Turner is set to play a series of solo shows this month in Melbourne and Sydney. Having achieved global recognition as guitarist of
Dirty Three, Turner has also recorded with
Cat Power,
Will Oldham and
Nick Cave. Parallel to all this, he also performs and records as the Tren Brothers with fellow
Dirty Three drummer
Jim White. Last year they released the album
Blue Trees which received significant reviews in the international media.
"Turner plays electric guitar in warm, oozing strums, with little distortion and an implicit groove; he creates quiet loops of this as background and then layers finger-picked solos on top.” -
New York Times
While in Sydney he will also be presenting an art show entitled
Nudes, Beasts, Angels, Flowers, a Birth, a Death and Trips to the Ocean. Mick has exhibited regularly in Australia and overseas with his artwork gracing the covers of Dirty Three and Tren Brothers albums. The exhibition launches on Thursday 16th of October at 6pm where you will also get a chance to meet Turner.
Turner will be performing a free solo show TONIGHT as part of Melbourne's Corner Hotel "The Spring Sessions".
