An evening with the Red Dirt Skinners

Sydney Area & Marconi Trail

Sep 18

About

The Red Dirt Skinners are widely regarded as one of the most innovative acts to come out of the UK in recent years. The duo’s original style crosses more genres than would make sense to mention. They have won national and international awards for songwriting, rock, folk, blues, country, roots, alt-rock, and indie rock. If you are open to hearing new songs that are influenced by Pink Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel, Supertramp, Queen, and David Bowie, coupled with some epic storytelling humour and heartfelt emotions, you’ll love a Red Dirt Skinners concert. With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice, and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos, you will be swept along by the refreshingly different sound of the Red Dirt Skinners. A Red Dirt Skinners concert combines captivating storytelling with knowing lyricism and outstanding musicianship. The Skinners have a natural rapport with their audiences and their live shows are a wonderful experience. Be prepared for a musical journey to remember, from laugh-out-loud lyrics to songs sure to pull at your heartstrings. Rob and Sarah Skinner, now Canadian citizens, will steal your hearts. Don’t miss their show!
