Now showcasing as a 5-piece roots rock ‘n’ roll outfit, August River Band are powering up to captivate hearts and souls with passion at the Agnes Blues Roots & Rock Festival in February 2025.
An outfit with nothing to prove, August River Band offers a wild and beautifully juxtaposed chemistry between the tortured singer-songwriter, the classically trained violinist and the hard-hitting rock and roll drummer, across Folk Rock, Roots Rock N’ Roll and Alternative/Indie Rock.
August River Band delivers a live music experience that punches you right in the gut. Tightly arranged odd time signatures dissolve into soaring choruses which unapologetically push the boundaries of genres, whilst maintaining a soulful beckoning of the dark and the beautiful.
‘Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart’, says frontman Eev Ferreira.
Hearing August River Band for the first time, you may find yourself thinking Roy Orbison was fronting an unplugged Faith No More show with Stuart Copeland on drums.
As a follow up to their live studio album ‘Thank You Pain’ in 2020, August River Band has been working hard, writing new music and growing as a 5-piece. They released a new, highly anticipated studio EP late last year, with 4 fresh singles that bring modern listeners into the golden age of recording music.
August River Band take their audiences on a cinematic lyrical noir journey, with dark tales full of imagery from a lost Cohen Bros script, odd-time metal riffs played on acoustic guitars, soaring, and swooning classical violin layers underpinned by heavy dub rock basslines, harmonies and a heavy dose of poetic romance.
Get ready or an unforgettable journey with the wild and beautiful music of August River Band on the #AgnesBluesFest Marquee Stage at 6.15pm Friday 21 February 2025. This performance will be poetry in motion, jam-packed with power and passion.t.
