Sydney’s ‘chainsaw folk’ trailblazers The Crooked Fiddle Band return to celebrate 20 years of boundary-pushing, genre-defying music.
Renowned for their cinematic sound and explosive live energy, the band has spent two decades reinventing folk-fusing virtuosic strings, driving rhythms and dark storytelling into something entirely their own. Rallying around the visceral violin of Jess Randall, their dynamic show has been honed on festival stages around the world.
Join them at The Baroque Room for a special anniversary performance celebrating 20 years of The Crooked Fiddle Band – past, present and future.
