Delia Obst, an Adelaide-based folk singer, brought her whimsical talents to Frome Street’s Chateau Apollo for the Adelaide Fringe.
Presented by The Porch Sessions, this performance was very much in the same vein; Persian rugs adorned the floor, relaxed musicians take the stage, surrounded by nature and the hip surrounds of Roxie’s next door. Whilst functional to a point, the atmosphere was negated by parts of the audience, who decided to drag chairs in from the neighbouring bar. Whilst you can understand this, it severely reduced the venue’s capacity, and made the event at times crowded and close.
However, it’s the music everyone’s there for, and on that front Delia Obst delivered. Support act Jesse Davidson was the perfect match, with his folk stylings fantastic in their own right. When Obst takes to the stage, her eerily perfect voice instantly wins you over. Davidson joins her for part of her set, as well as the rest of the band, and Obst’s charming, genuine persona captures your attention instantly.
It’s evident straight away that Delia Obst is a talented young woman – be sure to keep an eye out for her in the coming year, as she’s a name you’ll soon know.
