Not your usual gig spot, a local library will host a free music event to highlight musicians from across the Yarra Ranges.
Zak Gully will be performing live on Friday 7 November in a special gig at the Belgrave Library from 6 to 7pm for ‘Live at the Library’.
A self-described ‘nature-inspired’ acoustic musician, Zak said he is excited to return as the main act at the library this month.
“I write a lot about nature and travelling and things like that – It’s a very indie type of music,” he said.
Playing music since he was 16, and gigging more seriously for the past five years, the performance will feature a bit of storytelling from Zak about how he came into music, and he plans to play a mix of original songs, including some unreleased material.
“I’ll also play a couple of my own interpretations of some well-known covers,” he said.
He has performed across the Yarra Ranges, including Warburton, Sassafras, and Healesville and appreciates the chance to play gigs locally.
“It is something that I definitely appreciate – it’s great with all the Councils running locally-based gigs and helping support youth, as well youth up and coming musicians,” said Zak.
The second in the series, Live at the Library, has come about as part of a collaboration with Defrosted Events, Your Library, Creative Victoria, and the Yarra Ranges Youth Team.
The library event is drug, alcohol, and vape-free, and all-ages friendly, and people can register to attend for free online.
