SHANNON BARNETT QUARTET ʻCOUNTRYʼ - NATIONAL TOUR
Virtuoso trombonist Shannon Barnett and her dynamic quartet tour Australia to present their debut album ʻCountryʼ, out on the Grigoryan brothersʼ ʻWhichWay Musicʼ label.

Barnett is well-known for her work with Barney McAll, Kurt Rosenwinkel, The Bamboos, Paul Grabowsky and for a recent stint performing (sometimes upside down) with Circus Oz.

Expertly recorded by Robin Gray at Allan Eaton Studio and mixed and mastered by Philip Rex, ʻCountryʼ captures Barnettʼs cheekiness and energetic approach to the trombone, through a variety of engaging compositions, with input from all members of the ensemble.

From the alt-country/pop-tinged title track ʻCountryʼ, to the distinctly north coast-flavoured Abercrombie Byron Hippie Knife Fight and the catchy dub groove of ʻPesosʼ, the album is a journey through many stylistic influences, all the while retaining a strong and defined ensemble sound.
