South Australian music takes off around the world
Passengers passing through Adelaide Airport from this week will not only be able to hear music performed by top local SA artists, but can now download the music for free on their phone or tablet.
The This Is SA Music compilation is a unique partnership between Adelaide Airport and Music SA offering a new music experience for passengers, friends and families that highlights the original work of South Australian songwriters.
The curated original South Australian live music series is performed at Adelaide Airport every Friday afternoon, plus alternate Saturdays and Sundays. The 20 original artists performing in T1 have presented 150 live shows to a potential audience of 500,000, and another 100 shows are programmed for 2015.
To celebrate this collaboration, Adelaide Airport and Music SA have produced a limited edition download-only compilation featuring songs by 16 artists that have performed in the series. 2000 limited edition cards are now available free from Adelaide Airport T1 retailers.
"South Australia has some of the best singer-songwriters in the Country" said Music SA General Manager Lisa Bishop. "We're really pleased to co-present this quality compilation with the generous support of all the participating artists, and our partner Adelaide Airport. It’s quite exciting to think that this music might soon be taking off to all kinds of wonderful destinations. It’s also a nice way to share this great recorded music with people that enjoy the live performances.”
Adelaide Airport Managing Director, Mark Young, said: “We think this is a wonderful extension of the partnership that we already have in place with Music SA and local artists. Not only can our customers hear great live music while waiting for their flight, they can take a piece of South Australian music with them on their travels, whether it be interstate or overseas."
