Lefty Loosey

Lefty Loosey can move from a quiet folk ballad to freestyle rap in the same set, and that range is the reason to book him. The Brisbane singer draws on acoustic soul and the grit of Delta blues, then lifts the pace with country-flavoured songs when the room is ready. He's played everything from small dive bars to festival main stages, so he's at ease whether the crowd is right in front of him or spread across a paddock. Pick him when one style all night would feel flat, at a pub gig or a backyard birthday, say.
