Delighted to welcome back an all-time Dentist fav songwriter in Ned Collette. Having played solo in 2013, and with the Dentist House band in 2015, this time Ned arrives with an all-star band featuring long time collaborator Joe Talia on drums and Chris Abrahams of The Necks on the piano.

They'll be serving up an evening in two sets that'll draw heavily from his excellent new double LP "Old Chestnut" but also feature new band arrangements of songs from his many splendoured back catalogue...

Ned Collette

Ned Collette has released a far-reaching double album this year in Old Chestnut, a dark folk opus featuring The Necks’ revered pianist Chris Abrahams, and long-time production partner and drummer Joe Talia, amongst a slew of others. Now a band featuring Collette, Abrahams and Talia, plus Fredrik Kinbom on bass will play a run of special dates as part of a short European tour.

Collette has plotted an uncompromising musical course over six albums, realising an ambitious and expansive vision covering songwriting, improvisation and experimental music. Well respected in his native Australia and his adopted home of Berlin, he will also be known to audiences for his performances alongside artists such as Joanna Newsom, St Vincent, Howe Gelb, and his recent work arranging and playing on the 20th anniversary performance of Cat Power’s seminal Moon Pix album at the Sydney Opera House.

The band with Abrahams is an ongoing project that seeks to use Collette’s songs as jumping off points for longer musical journeys, and the richly organic songs of Old Chestnut bear this out in remarkable fashion.
