Opening to a small crowd didn’t stop Kingwell from living it up with her vocal presence. The show featured songs from The Lotus Eaters EP and covers from the likes of Tom Waits, Kate Bush, The knife and Sia Furler. The show blends visual artwork from artist Herschel in exploring the world of Kingwell.

Kingwell’s provided an intimate feel with the use of violin, cello, piano and, minimal lights. Silo String Quartet are no strangers to festivals. They are regular performers to the Melbourne Jazz scene. Silo supplies a transcend sound to Kingwell lyrics by giving it a refine storytelling piece.

The show featured sing along, clapping and her witty humor between segments of songs. There were a few moments were it felt a bit dull, but it was forgiven with her familiarity of her pleasing piece on the piano. The show often caught a resemblance to the English artist Florence Welsh, in there vocal attributes.

The Lotus Eaters with Silo Quartet delivered an intriguing piece of blending sounds. It was a delightful collaboration piece worth viewing.
