Gwenifer Raymond

Roadrunner proudly presents the Australian debut of Gwenifer Raymond.

Touring in support of last year's critically acclaimed album Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark, Gwenifer Raymond brings her singular, spellbinding approach to American primitive guitar to Australia for the very first time.

Widely regarded as one of the great folk guitarists of the 21st century, Raymond has earned international praise for her raw, hypnotic instrumentals rooted in Mississippi and Appalachian traditions. Her performances are intense, intimate, and utterly transportive - music that feels both ancient and fiercely alive.

These Australian shows mark a rare opportunity to experience one of the great contemporary guitarists live.

Hurry - tickets are limited and expected to sell out.
