Lines Like Water

Folk-punk, rock and roll, Aussie classics, pop princess anthems and hip hop can all end up in a single Lines Like Water set. It's the stage name of Rob Hortle, a Hobart singer-songwriter who is also an award-winning poet, and his set mixes originals with covers given his own twist. He has played pubs, small festivals, balls, charity nights and corporate events in both Australia and the UK. A poet's ear for words makes him worth booking where people will actually listen, like a charity dinner or a small festival stage, though the song choices can still get a party going.
