Concert Times

Fusing the passion of folk music, 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 gentle demeanour 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.

Recently, the band’s second album ‘Still Water’ was nominated for ‘Album of the Year’ at the 2025 Queensland Music Awards, alongside their single ‘Horatio Hornblower’ being a finalist in the world music category. These honours join the band’s previous nominations for two National Live Music awards (NLMAs) for Best Australian Jazz Act, and Best QLD Act. 2019 delivered the release of the band’s debut eponymous album, premiering the group’s first original compositions within the genre and receiving a highly commended for the track ‘Janome’ in the Jazz category of the 2020 Queensland Music Awards. The album was received with great acclaim, finding airplay on ABC, Triple J, Double J, and community radio stations across Australia. The band’s second album ‘Still Water’ was released in 2024 alongside a national tour, continuing the rich combination of styles that the band has come known for.
