“Epic folk” band collecting hearts across Central West

“Imagine Fleetwood Mac with more of an organic, Celtic-inflected lilt of vocals and melody,” wrote American music journalist, John T Davis, of “epic folk” band, The Heart Collectors.

With the sentimentality of 70s-inspired harmonies, the Australian four-piece outfit has graced stages worldwide and also recorded four studio albums.

With soaring cello, intricate guitar, sparkling mandolin, boot-banging banjo, passionate strikes of a tambourine, and the thundering of the bodhran, these four charismatic performers create real musical synergy by marrying progressive folk/rock sensibilities and clean classical precision.

Picked as one of the “top bands to see”’ at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, pre-COVID, the group were forced to find creative ways of staying connected throughout the 2020 lockdowns and the cancellation of their US and UK tours. 

Back on the road in 2022, The Heart Collectors are now busy making up for lost time, having embarked on a statewide tour of Tasmania earlier this year where they performed to sold-out audiences.

Touring the golden central west this week, you can see the Heart Collectors at the following venues:

Friday, September 30: Live at the Art Gallery @ Bellandre Park, Molong, 6–8pm.

Saturday, October 1: The Agrestic Grocer, Orange, 6–8pm

Sunday, October 2: Rosnay Organic Wines Cellar Door, Canowindra, 2–5pm
