Close to Nowhere - Fly By Night Fremantle

 

Perth’s amazing grass-roots music scene is thriving, yet most of the people in Perth don’t even realize that it exists, and why?  The answer is simple.  Grass-roots artists simply aren’t given the stage time that cover bands get.  But Scudley Records wants to change all that, starting right now.  So how do you bring the music of Perth from the streets to the masses?  The answer was simple – Close to Nowhere.

 

The first step was to get these artists on tape.  A lot of them have never been recorded before, so it’s the first time this music has been heard outside of the pubs and bars the artists have been slogging it out in.  So from that, Perth’s first ever grass-roots compilation album was created, called FOLKLORE.  It features 18 grass-roots artists and their amazing music.  The artists range from soloists, duos, full bands, and the incredible Heath Marshall who has to be seen to be believed.
