Dave Wells Band & Melody Pool - Live @ Nambucca Arts Centre
About
Presented by Archive Mid North Coast
Those that have witnessed a Dave Wells performance are privy to the beguiling power of this most rare of musicians, whose command of both voice and guitar captivates to the point of transcendency. While his full-band shows are a must-see, there’s an otherworldly majesty and emotive force at work when Wells is alone on stage with his six-stringed instrument.
Dave is currently touring Australia in celebration of his latest release ‘If We Had Our Time Again’
There’s no question that Wells’ storytelling tackles grand themes, situations and characters that speak
to the very essence of our shared humanity, always painted in succinct empathetic strokes. It takes a
musical talent with the range and depth of Wells’ to do such stories justice.
Melody Pool arrived on the Australian music scene with 2013’s The Hurting Scene, which The Australian declared Album of the Year, with the late-great music critic Iain Shedden calling it “one of the most accomplished debuts by an Australian singer-songwriter for many years”.
Rolling Stone hailed her voice as “sublime”, while The Herald Sun’s Cameron Adams described Melody’s music as “beautiful and passionate but not dumbed-down for easy digestion”.
After her acclaimed second album, 2016’s Deep Dark Savage Heart, Melody Pool retreated. She shared her battle with depression in a powerful episode of the ABC’s Australian Story, revealing she needed time away, to find out who she was without music.
Melody discovered that the music came from deep within. “Now I do music because I need to,” she says. “And I love it.”
