Ararat Live series returns
The first in a series of monthly shows kicks off the return of live music to Ararat Town Hall this month.
Not-for-profit group Ararat Live will host Melbourne singer-songwriter Ernest Aines in the first of eight concerts this year, on February 9.
Aines said his music showed glimpses of Ray Lamontagne, Elliott Smith, Bon Iver, Jonny Lang and Jeff Buckley influences, delivered with an inspired and truthful earnestness.
He said his new single ‘So far’, taken from a debut album set to be released this year, was an American country-style tune about ‘trying to reach a point in life that is satisfying, being determined and changing attitude’.
Supporting act and musician Glen Wee will perform at 8pm.
Organisers said COVID-19 protocols would be enforced and proof of vaccination was required for entry to the town hall.
