Melbourne’s own Americana/Alt Country outfit “The Distant South” return to the wonderful Shiraz Republic on Saturday the 19th of October - playing 2 sets of their original music from 2pm. Playing songs from their 2 EP’s, their self titled album - plus a growing catalogue of new material, the Distant South play music written from the heart and filled with beautiful Melodies’ and harmonies. Nick Howells’ song writing draws comparisons to other story tellers such as Paul Kelly and Jason Isbell. The Distant South have been playing across Melbourne and regional Vic for the last 2 years to a growing audience – and released their first record in 2023. They have featured on popular community radio shows including “In the Jailhouse Tonight”, “5 feet high and rising” and “Swinging Doors”.
