About
Sat 11 Apr: Songwriters In the Round - Live in the Loft @Dunkirk HotelSongwriters:
Lorenzo Guevarra
Inspired by the wine-sipping, chain-smoking and type-writing self-indulgence of the 1960s, Lorenzo navigates his existence akin to the way his “ancestors” once did. He depicts honesty itself, draped in troubadour-black. Made in Sydney, refined in Montréal, proven in Dublin. https://www.youtube.com/@lorenzowrites
Emma Driver
Emma Driver is a Sydney singer/songwriter who has played solo and in duos, trios and bands for a couple of decades. Her original songs have been called ‘conversational’ and ‘authentic’ by trustworthy people who didn’t owe her any favours, which is nice. There’s bonus harmonica, too.

Alex Shaw
Shaw is a songwriter living on Darug Lands in Sydney. His musical journey began in the mid 2000s with the band John Columbus, and after years of exploration, he has reemerged as the solo artist Slightly Smiling. Across both chapters, Alex has consistently drawn from the personal and universal dimensions of life, crafting melodic pop that feels both intimate and expansive. His forthcoming debut EP as Slightly Smiling, titled Turnout, carries a quiet optimism in its name -- a nod to the uncertainty and possibility of letting things unfold. For fans of Laura Marling, Ron Sexsmith and Neil Finn.
