Devendra Banhart

BIG DAY OUT will let its freak-folk flag fly this summer with DEVENDRA BANHART. The people’s troubadour came to prominence with the cosmic folk and ethereal vibrato of his 2005 breakthrough, Cripple Crow. In 2009 came his sixth album, What Will We Be, which Rolling Stone calls “the best he’s ever made”. In concert, this charming quirk of nature drifts from hushed to frantic, from folk to surf to reggae to heavy psychedelic rock. Call it whatever you like – pysch-folk, avant-folk – DEVENDRA BANHART “stands out as a compelling and utterly unique artist” (Q Magazine). Find out for yourself this summer at the 2010 BIG DAY OUT.
