Dewey Decibels: Music in the Library - Exeter
Following the success of our first sellout genre-bending night of new music, Dewey Decibels is back! A night of eclectic acts at Exeter Library, co-produced by Obvious Events, and hosted by Chris & Frazer.
June features the English-Egyptian folk duo Tamsin Elliott & Tarek Elazhary. Plus support from two wonderful emerging local acts; Fraze Aze and Life Sized Dolls.
Tamsin Elliott is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and film-maker based in Bristol. Her critically acclaimed debut solo album ‘FREY’ is out now on Penny Fiddle Records.
Tarek Elazhary is an Egyptian educator and composer seeking to preserve the musical heritage of the Middle East, while exploring its place within a contemporary context. Tarek is co-founder of instrumental band Dokkan, blending eastern influences with contemporary western instrumentation.
Exploring the parallels and celebrating the idiosyncrasies of both Egyptian and English folk traditions, Elliott and Elazhary aim to find commonality, foster cross-cultural connection and help to heal the scars of a colonial past through meaningful and conscious collaboration. With a blend of instruments including lever harp, accordion, whistles and Arabic oud.
Frazer Aze is a chilled solo artist aiming to take you to a place of comfort with a fun story, a beautiful melody and a unique sound
Life Sized Dolls are a local two piece acoustic act who play beautiful, uplifting music
