Adelaide Festival Photo Gallery: Washington – Palais (15.03.19)

Megan Washington graced the floating Riverbank Palais on Friday night following a season which included Augie March, J Mascis, Sarah Blasco, and They Might Be Giants.

Washington’s performance included a four-string accompaniment for some of the songs, adding an ethereal feeling to an already magical space.

There were crowd favourites and plenty of banter about the background to some of the songs. Washington lamented the atrocities of the day in Christchurch and wished for a brighter future and a better world through music.

A sublime and enjoyable performance from a talented musician.
