      About

      Fusing the passion of folk, the precision of classical, and the spontaneity of jazz, ‘Cigány Weaver’ create a rich and vibrant atmosphere for both the heart and mind. Front woman Jo Davie's soaring vocals and enchanting demeanor combine with the fiery violin, dynamic guitars and driving rhythm section to create a purely acoustic group that effortlessly navigates the musical nexus between intimacy and raucousness. Nominated for two 2023 National Live Music Awards (NLMAs) for Best National Jazz Act, and Best QLD Act, you're as likely to find Cigány Weaver packing out shows at renowned festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), Caloundra Music Festival (QLD) and MONA's Dark Mofo (TAS), as you are to find them playing a secret gig in a jazz bar. By drawing inspiration from the past, the sextet's signature compositions and arrangements weave a musical tapestry that makes a refreshing contribution to the Australian music scene.
