Photos and Wrap Up from the AU sessions #005 featuring Ed Wells + Lincoln – The Hive Bar, Erskineville (30.06.15)

Last night, The AU Sessions returned to The Hive Bar in Erskineville for our fifth instalment, featuring local artists Lincoln and Ed Wells. Both talented artists graced us with the accompaniment of a keyboard – while Ed also had a backing guitarist to round out his amazing sound. We may be a bit bias, but we think it was the best AU Sessions yet!

Lincoln, fresh from the perils of pneumonia, delivered a beautiful thirty minute set, giving us a taste of her repertoire – stripped back to just her and the piano – while she snuck in a couple of covers including “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga.

Closing out the night was Ed Wells, who had the busy room in a bit of stunned silence throughout his set. The AU Sessions have never sounded better as he churned out a set that included his single “Sparrow and Seed”. As he looped vocals and backing instrumentals over his keys and supporting guitarist, the sound he created was a big one. And his voice is something special. I think we’re going to see and hear a lot more from this talented young artist in the years to come…

We’ll be announcing the next AU sessions shortly! It will be held at The Hive Bar in Erksineville on July 28th. Stay tuned to https://www.theaureview.com/sessions for more details!
