Songs of farewell this hour on Tapestry of the Times… goodbyes to sweethearts, families, childhood homes, and old jobs we’d maybe rather forget. Music from Chile, Kyrgyzstan, and American legends Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Doc Watson, and cowboy poet Buck Ramsey. Real music, real people, and the stories behind the sounds.

Demo Music « Farewell the lion
Melbourne based 4 piece, Farewell the lion do not try and create a whole new musical genre nor expect to have one named after them. Instead, we focus on writing and performing well crafted songs without pretention or attitude. With influences from Wilco, Radiohead, The Posies and The National we focus on letting the best idea in each song win rather than forcing a certain sound.
Band members John McIntosh (Vocals/Guitar), Marlene Samson (Vocals/Keys), Leigh Marlow (Drums) and Sam Elliffe (Bass) have been together since June 2010 and have worked up an albums worth of songs for the live set. http://farewellthelion.com/music/
