A three-piece acoustic rock outfit that’ll punch you right in the gut. Tightly arranged odd time signatures dissolve into soaring choruses which unapologetically push the boundaries of the genre, whilst maintaining a soulful beckoning of the dark and the beautiful. Like crying whilst dancing.
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. Major influences range from The Police, Dave Matthews, Midnight Oil, Edward Elgar, Foo Fighters and Radiohead.
August River Band is hitting the studios in 2018 with an eye for setting fire to festival stages around Australia for a long time to come.
