Senor Cabrales and Natalie McIver Live at the Con

The JAM Orange Spring/Summer concert series continues this Sunday with Senor Cabrales and local favourite Natalie McIver.

Senor Cabrales are a must see for lovers of high-quality traditional music, taking audiences on a Celtic musical journey from Spain's northwest tip to the outer Isles of Scotland.

A unique group, the six musicians hail from Northern Spain and Australia and play traditional music from Asturias and Galicia in Northern Spain, Brittany, Ireland and Scotland. The band’s intricate melodic use of fiddle, Spanish pipes (gaita), mandolin, bouzouki, flute, whistle, tenor banjo, bombarde, mandola and bodhran, interwoven with rich harmonic rhythm and driving percussion, delivers a fresh, exciting sound which continues to thrill festival audiences throughout Australia.

To date, the group has released two critically acclaimed studio albums, Aqui in 2013 and Sol Y Sombra in 2015.

They are currently promoting their new live album Pinchos, released earlier this year.

Supporting Senor Cabrales is be local favourite Natalie McIver. Originally from Central Queensland. Natalie is a relative newcomer to Orange who has quickly made a name for herself in the local music scene. Natalie spent her childhood on cattle properties in small communities where reciting bush poetry was a family and community past time. Writing poetry later developed into song writing and her style, which she describes as “acoustic pop with country themes” has been compared to Sara Storer and the Waifs. Her songs reflect a longing for simpler times and draw on her experience of the Australian outback.

Catch Senor Cabrales this Sunday, 2 -5pm at the Orange Regional Conservatorium auditorium. Tickets $25 on-line at www.ticketebo.com.au/jamorange or Landers Music.
