A genre-bending, genre-blending musical and literary salon, UNDERSCORE blurs the lines between music and storytelling as acclaimed writer/performers Brian Nankervis, Jane Clifton and Wayne Macauley present excerpts of their work over a lush electro-acoustic soundscape by Sally Ford and the Idiomatics. The live readings by the authors are bookmarked by songs from the band, featuring Sally’s wryly-observed lyrics of life, love and lived experience. A richly imagined musical and literary experience.
"There’s a special kind of intimacy here. A superbly focused and talented band with the unique combination of traditional and modern instruments (and musical styles) cradling each piece and giving it different shapes and textures.” Stage Whispers, Adelaide June 2023
