Bristol’s Tara Clerkin Trio make their Australian debut performing their acclaimed album, Somewhere Good.

Tara Clerkin Trio are Pat Benjamin, Sunny Joe Paradisos and Tara Clerkin, three musicians involved in cult Bristol bands over the years before confidently settling down in triangle formation. Drawing on jazz, trip hop, electronica, psychedelia, and minimalism, the trio turn these influences into an uncanny and blissful sound that’s all their own.

Somewhere Good is, in many ways, the band’s most realised work. Lauded for its ‘inventive and restrained’ (Pitchfork) sound, the trio colour in and outside of compositional lines over the course of 40+ celebratory minutes – never wallowing, despite exploring inherently sombre subject matter of self-defeat, disease, and displacement – allowing their arrangements and improvisations space and time to breathe and ultimately take hold on the listener’s imagination.
