This month’s Acts at the Acoustic Room are:

ISAAC THOMPSON – USA
Isaac Thompson, singer-songwriter born in Hawaii, fortunately made his way to Vienna, where he has been impacting and inspiring the open stage music scene as an exceptional talent for a long time. He presents his often very personal songs with his soulful, expressive voice with a lot of passion and 120% heart. The sparks jump over to his audience and you forget everything else quickly. With his loop station he skilfully reinterprets his energetic songs again and again.

SOMERSET BARNARD – AUSTRALIA
Delta Blues crosses in a scabby way with the Tex-Mex-Aussie-roots of a reckless globetrotter. Somerset Barnard was touring through Australia and the USA before he decided to throw everything away and travel the world.

Somerset can be found playing anywhere from the streets of a Senegalese Village to the stage of An International Festival. His musical adventures have even led him to a play a part in a Bollywood Movie and work as a Sherpa in the Himalayas.

Now based in Vienna, his last album ‘The Atlas Moth’, released in February 2016, brings together influences from his four years of travelling. The exciting new album ‘Trains & Churches’ was recorded in January 2018 together with Austria’s music greats like Ernst Milden, Marlene Lacherstorfer und Ivo Thomann, all in analog at the Cselley Mühle in Burgenland, Austria.
