MARTHA SPENCER & ARCHER

About This Event

<p><strong>Martha Spencer</strong> and <strong>Archer</strong> bring a spellbinding night of old-time country, folk and blues to the <strong>Brunswick</strong> <strong>Ballroom</strong>, weaving mountain songs, outlaw ballads and stories that feel as old as the hills and as immediate as now.</p><p>Hailing from Virginia&rsquo;s Blue Ridge Mountains, Martha Spencer is a renowned Appalachian singer, multi-instrumentalist and flatfoot dancer, raised in the musical Spencer family on Whitetop Mountain, where traditional mountain music and dance are a way of life. Armed with guitar, banjo, fiddle and a voice rich with high lonesome soul, she channels deep-rooted old-time, bluegrass and classic country, while her infectious stage presence turns every show into a front-porch song session and dance.</p><p>Joining her is Australian cult favourite Archer, the &ldquo;old time sing song man&rdquo; whose stripped-back songs for voice and guitar draw on early blues, folk, country and gospel, like they&rsquo;ve been pulled from a decades-old time capsule. Born in North Carolina and now based in regional Victoria, Archer&rsquo;s tremolo vocal and dusty, wandering storyteller&rsquo;s spirit evoke bushrangers, river songs and roadside campfires in equal measure.</p><p>Together on the Brunswick Ballroom stage, Martha Spencer and Archer promise an intimate evening of harmony singing, shared songs and solo sets&mdash;where Appalachian fiddle tunes meet eucalyptus-scented ballads, and the line between deep American roots and Australian folk becomes beautifully blurred. Ideal for lovers of old-time, honky tonk, folk and anyone who wants to sit close to the fire of timeless song.</p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/production-api-file-upload/uploads%2Fclient-19178%2Fevent-description%2F1771999873363-IMG_8344.jpeg" style="width: 573px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><hr><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">TICKETING INFO</span></strong>&nbsp;</span></p><p>Please have a digital or printed copy of your ticket ready on arrival along with a valid photo ID.
