Bungarribee is the meeting place of four different yet complementary musical personalities. Featuring exotic instrumentation and a unique amalgam of styles including classical, jazz, folk and world all filtered through improvisation. Bungarribee’s vision is expansive, ambitious and exploratory. These master musicians relish the challenge of creating a synthesis out of seemingly incompatible musical elements. Like musical archeologists Bungarribee meets at the aesthetic coalface, chipping away until treasure is found. A Bungarribee performance is a journey of discovery for musicians and audience alike. At its core music is about communication and connection, exciting our minds and bodies. This is Bungarribee’s meeting place.
"It is rare that musicians of such different backgrounds come together (deep synthesis/ connection). Music is about communication and connection. As many have attested to through the ages, it is our universal language. Not about genre or style but discovery and connection through improvisation. Drawing on seemingly disparate musical worlds ie Schoenberg to African folk song.
My vision is a positive one which draws both musicians and audience into a world of discovery." - Gary Daley

“Australian guitarist Jeff Lang weaves remarkably skilled blues guitar around his songs, effortlessly playing complicated parts but never at the expense of the songs themselves.”
The Onion
“Lang’s only reference point is himself, a unique singer-songwriter-guitarist who follows his own path”
Le Soleil, Quebec
Australian guitarist-songwriter-vocalist-producer, Jeff Lang has built a reputation for making startling music that is accomplished, intricate, gutsy, melodic and loaded with soul. Often taking unexpected turns, he has consistently inspired his audiences by creating a stylistically diverse catalog of over 25 albums.
Jeff’s work with the latter won the 2010 ARIA (Australia’s Grammy) for Best World Music Album, while he and Brozman took one home for Best Blues and Roots Music Album in 2002. Jeff received that same award on his own in 2012.
Jeff has delivered show-stopping performances at festivals all across the globe: The Dublin Blues Festival, Philadelphia Folk Festival, Quebec City Music Festival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Winterhawk Bluegrass Festival, Fuji Rock, Glastonbury, Echo Park China, Ottawa BluesFest as well as on his home turf at Port Fairy, Woodford, Bluesfest Byron Bay and Womadelaide.
“Jeff Lang is, in my humble opinion, a national treasure, a truly gifted songwriter and an
outstanding guitarist. He has been inspiration to countless Australian and internationally
renowned roots artists and surely has a place in history as one of this generation’s finest.
He has really touched me and musically, I had a kind of revelation…”
