Over the duration of my project and organising the concert, I have been struck by the power of community, and what it has the potential to achieve. Falling in Autumn have just confirmed, bringing our band count to five.
Through the connections of one of my brothers, we are lucky to have scored this great duo who are bursting at the seams with enthusiasm about the concert – which, I must say, is ever so refreshing! In fact, I take my hat off to all our wonderful bands; they are ever so supportive and always ready to go out of their way to help. Without them, the concert, quite literally, could not happen.
Without further ado, I am honoured to introduce you to our fifth band – Falling in Autumn.
Falling in Autumn is a Sydney-based group which revolves around the cathartic folk songs of Carissa Lehmann and Simon Williams.
Meeting through a mutual friend, the group’s dual songwriters found in each other a musical partner in whom to confide their acoustic confessions.
The pair have spent the past year quietly writing on a backbone of ‘love, loss and the unknown’, honing their sound and the songs which would become their recently self-released Tree EP.
Falling in Autumn have crafted a lush, ambient sound; spawned from both a love of classic folk artists as well as their respective surroundings in the Blue Mountains and Northern beaches. They have drawn comparisons with acts such as George and Angus & Julia Stone and continue to convert new fans with their warm, honest songwriting.
2008 is set to be a big year for the group as they expand their lineup and plan to record their next release.
