'...Cardier is our finest contemporary singer-songwriter BAR NONE and this 90-minute plus live performance is ample evidence of that.' (Keith Glass, Rhythms Magazine Oct 09). From the release of his first single, back in March 1972, Australian singer-songwriter Glenn Cardier has crafted a singular body of stellar work that has garnered remarkable acclaim and reviews. As Rhythms magazine’s Keith Glass has insisted, Glenn "should be trumpeted as one of our finest, an original and a craftsman of the first order" - an assertion well evidenced by this intimate and atmospheric performance, with The Sideshow led by fine guitarist Stuart French, on one unforgettable February 2009 night at Lizotte’s on the Central Coast of New South Wales. Drawing highlights from his CD albums of the past decade, Rattle The Cage, House of Mirrors and Exiles From Eden, with a sprinkling of new, unheard songs, this seasoned songsmith that night deftly blended the growling rockabilly whomper-stomper sound of Shing-A-Ling, Rust In The Tailfin and Asylum Blues, with the delicate insight of She Flew Away, The Best Of It and Invisible Ink and the quirky irreverence of Elvis At The Checkout, Close Encounter (With A UFO) and Pamela Anderson in a sweep across a musical terrain that could only be his own – one full of twists, turns and textures.
