New Festival Launched in Honor of Late Bad Seeds Musician Conway Savage
The life and legacy of late Australian musician Conway Savage will be honored with the launch of a new music festival in Ireland.
The event, dubbed These Are the Waves: A Celebration of the Music of Conway Savage, is set to take place from Sept. 12-14 in Irish county town Dundalk. Having performed since the early ’80s in bands such as Feral Dinosaurs, Dust on the Bible and Happy Orphans, Savage rose to prominence in 1990 when he joined Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds as their pianist, organist and occasional backing vocalist. “Irascible, funny, terrifying, sentimental, warm-hearted, gentle, acerbic, honest, genuine – he was all of these things and quite literally ‘had the gift of a golden voice,’ high and sweet and drenched in soul.”
