Latest CD by The Yearlings

"South Australian duo The Yearlings (Robyn Chalklen and Chris Parkinson) have created an album of outstanding beauty. It breathes."

Jen Cloher's debut album 'Dead Wood Falls' was released on Monday March 20th. It is already receiving stellar reviews from the music press. Jen is scheduled to showcase the album along with her band "The Endless Sea" at Jive on Saturday the 10th of June. SARB was fortunate enough to catch up with Jen and chat to her about her music.

Kathleen Edwards, a 26-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter whose 2003 debut Failer started as an indie project recorded with friends in the Ottawa music scene. "No Depression" said the album marked "the arrival of a rare talent." Febuary sees the arrival of Kathleen Edwards in Australia for a quick tour of 4 engagements ...which doesn't include Adelaide. Maybe next time. In the mean time SA Roots and Blues was able to catch up with Kathleen Edwards and ask her a few things about her music.

"2005 ... on reflection!"
Best music events? Best CDs? Most impressive new artists? Books? Movies? SA Roots and Blues caught up with Phil Manning, Detonator "Doghouse Dave", "Streamliners" Nick Kipridis, Josh Bennett, Sweet Baby James and "Bob The Punter" and asked them to reflect on 2005.
