Ernest Aines

Award-winning alt-folk singer-songwriter Ernest Aines brings his intimate live show to Tempo Rubato, blending intricate guitar work, rich vocals and deeply crafted songs.

Aines has built a growing audience in Australia, the UK and the USA, with a sound that has drawn comparisons to Ray LaMontagne, Bon Iver, Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake. His acclaimed debut album Spiral Bound established him as one of Australia’s distinctive emerging folk voices, and his live performances have taken him from sold-out headline shows to international folk stages.

At Tempo Rubato, expect an up-close evening of songs, stories and musicianship in a setting made for listening.
