Lonnie Holley & Irreversible Entanglements - Live at Sydney Opera House (2024)
28m
Envelop yourself in a unique session of visionary sound as outsider prophet Lonnie Holley and free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements take over the Utzon Room. Alabama-born sculptor and outsider artist turned musical shaman, Lonnie Holley channels a vision from another world, creating a haunting, surrealist musical and poetic landscape that recalls the likes of Gil Scott-Heron, Alice Coltrane and Arthur Russell at their best. The performance also features vocals from the Philadelphia-based artist, Afrofuturist philosopher and social activist Camae Ayewa, aka Moor Mother.
In a storied, mythical career Holley has collaborated with Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective and Julia Holter, while his latest and most ambitious record, Oh Me Oh My, features contributions from Sharon Van Etten, Bon Iver and Michael Stipe.
