High Ace (Alison Ferrier & Jeff Lang) - FREE SHOW - Live at The Cosmo

High Ace (artist bio below) - Free show at The Cosmopolitan Hotel, Trentham on Good Friday 18th April, 7:30pm - 9:30pm. No bookings required, reservations for a pre-show dinner are welcomed via our website.

London-born and raised singer/songwriter/guitarist/violinist Alison Ferrier has released three solo albums and most recently has been touring and releasing music with the highly regarded Opelousas alongside Kerri Simpson and Anthony Shortte. Their debut album ‘Opelousified’ won Music Victoria’s Best Blues Album of the Year.

Acclaimed guitarist, singer songwriter Jeff Lang has won three ARIAs, collaborated with countless artists including Malian Kora virtuoso Mamadou Diabate and Tabla maestro Bobby Singh in Djan Djan. He’s toured the UK, US and Europe multiple times and played extensively in Asia, including appearances in major festivals in Japan, China and India. In 2021, Jeff published his first book – “Some Memories Never Die” – a fascinating and funny memoir of his life on the road.

Together, the wife and husband team have created a fascinating new musical project they’ve called High Ace and have now delivered a fabulous debut album, Snowcap Menace.

Born out of the spare time provided by Melbourne’s extended lockdown period, the genesis of the High Ace album material was a ‘reverse’ function video app that their kids were playing around with. Ali and Jeff found the sonic results of their app play to be intriguing. As a result, they discovered a unique and magical song-writing method: deciphering strange incantations played in reverse, and following what the unusual, twisting cadences of those vocalisations were telling them.
