retro surf

Madeline Leman and the Desert Swells are 'Femmericana' band from Melbourne, Australia
Madeline Leman and the Desert Swells create an Americana retro surf sound that is both silky smooth and a little bit country kitsch. Influenced by the rock n’ roll, blues, surf and soul traditions Madeline and her band create a fresh sound that transcends the country genre. Influenced by Bonnie Raitt, Carole king and Patti Smith, Madeline captivates audiences with stories of strong female protagonists, who ramble their way through the mundane and the profound. With Fabian Hunter on electric guitar, Alexander Bleakly on bass, Ben McAtamney on drums and Ruby Jones providing the rich Gram and Emmy Lou style harmony, Madeline Leman and the Desert Swells are a live show not to miss.
