Keeping North 
In Capital News, Australia’s premier country music magazine, Susan Jarvis’s review of Keeping North’s album ‘Demons & Dreamers’ says this, ‘…it’s an exquisitely crafted piece of work, filled with powerful, moving songs. Every song on the album is superb and deserves forensic listening and reflection.’ The songs are mainly tales of fiction, other people’s made-up stories, but perhaps inspired by the real world and lives well-lived. The result is a set of alt.country tunes laced with the blues, tinged with soul, and informed by folk music, delivered live by seasoned players with passion and soul. As work begins on songs for their next album, two new members have joined the ranks, and the band is very excited to introduce them to you for the very first time at Foco Nuevo.

Jumping Fences’ songs traverse working lives, migration and exile, and everyday hopes and joys. Their long association with Latin American music resonates deeply in their own compositions. They toured to Cuba in 2017 and 2018, and nationally they have performed at numerous festivals and venues in South-East Queensland and Victoria. They have composed songs for choirs and conducted workplace songwriting and performance projects in association with the Qld Council of Unions. In 2025, Jumping Fences released two singles ‘Woolloongabba’ and ‘Tiempo y Silencio’. You can download the songs from Bandcamp or listen on Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music. [website] |
