Rob Snarski is making his return to the Post Office Hotel stage for a very special residency series of Sunday’s in March. The velvet-voiced troubadour was the singer of one of our national treasures The Blackeyed Susans. Originally meant to be a “holiday band” for one of this country’s greatest exports, The Triffids, The Blackeyed Susans became a “real band” in 1989 and boast multiple ARIA nominations, tours with Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen and Wilco.
Since Melbourne has had strict Covid lockdown laws in place, Snarski has been relatively busy writing songs as gifts for fans and friends. These Song Gifts are currently being compiled for a future CD release with some expected to be included in his live set.
Expect a new release very, very soon.
Rob launched his debut solo album, “Wounded Bird” in 2014. In 2015 he followed it up with “Low Fidelity”, a selection of covers with producer Shane O’Mara and in 2019 released his 3rd, “Sparrow & Swan”. He has just released “Song Gifts”, an album of songs he wrote and recorded as dedications to fans during lockdown.
He's also a part-time hired gun having toured Europe as guest vocalist with The Triffids and more recently performing with The Go-Betweens.
Expect golden songs, haunting and elusive - from Rob’s acclaimed solo release “Wounded Bird”, mixed with shimmering new tunes, a chapter or two from his book, several covers from “Low Fidelity”, and perhaps a song from Chad’s Tree, The Triffids, The Go-Betweens… or even Paul Kelly.
In short ... expect the past, the present and the future.
