Information/Bio:
Dowling has lived the life of the troubadour interspersed with stints of hard manual labour on the land and sea, a life that is reflected in the deep well of feeling showcased here on his first full-length release. He takes an intriguing mixture of head in the clouds whimsy, unashamed romanticism, the simple minutiae of life and love, and a gritty, sometimes violent reality to construct remarkably effective and endearing songs.

Past performances: Darebin Music Festival 2009, The Lomond (Brunswick), The Retreat Hotel, The Carringbush Hotel, The Gem, The Cornish Arms, The Drunken Poet, The Evelyn, Sippers
