Event information

Join Australia's award winning folk singer songwriter, Ernest Aines, at Cafe#9.

The Australian Folk Artist of the Year Award 2023 nominee, will have you mesmerized with his soulful voice and masterful guitar skills, stories from the road, the time Tom Paxton hugged him in Kansas, the time he found a frog on a hike in New Zealand and what ensued!

His album, Spiral Bound has received high praise:

“Aines is a true contemporary master of the folk music form… In terms of genres, across the ten songs on this remarkable debut album Aines has managed to weave elements of everyone from Peter Gabriel to Donovan to Art Garfunkel in a sonic tapestry that is just breathtaking. ‘Lady In Waiting’ is folk/madrigal/Gabriel-era Genesis/Fortheringay/Fairport/Steeleye all wrapped up in wonderfulness. From spare to sumptuous, delicate to anthemic, Spiral Bound deserves to be heard. Aines may be Australian but he has created something universal, borderless and timeless” MICHAEL GEORGE SMITH, RHYTHMS MAGAZINE
