Jimmy Harwood | Cinnamon Sun | Zaynab Wilson @ Elixir

Elixir Bar, 92 Abbott St, Cairns

No one sounds quite like Melbournes own Jimmy Harwood. Only a fresh 22-year-old, Jimmy has more than found his own unique sound, combining his singer-songwriter abilities into hip-hop influenced vocals over seemingly hard yet smooth dreamy beats. After spending years honing his craft as a singer-songwriter busking and playing hundreds of gigs in his time, Jimmy Harwood continues to captivate audiences all the way into the strange world of 2022.

Cinnamon Sun (FKA Davy Simony) is a Cairns based Alt-pop/Roots/Hiphop singer-songwriter. His live performances are not to be missed: boasting the powerful energy of a ‘one-man-band,’ Simony takes to guitar, vocals, synth, foot percussion (stomp box & tambourine) and live looping.

Anchored in rhythm, melody, and matters of the psyche, Zaynab works with her dynamic range of musicality and transmutes stories into songs that “quietens your spirit”. Montréal-born and Trinidadian cultured, Zaynab’s style pulls from the intrinsic upbeat Afro-Caribbean rhythms from her early performance years, while blending influential singing styles of Billie Holiday, Norah Jones, and the revolutionary message and sound of Bob Marley.

Catch these three legends playing a set each at Elixir on the 26th of Feb! Who knows, maybe even a collab/jam at the end! 😉
