The U.K. singer-songwriter and a bandmate are just two men with unplugged instruments, but they still convey the bawdy rowdiness of a full band. Performing three songs in the NPR Music offices, Turner shines in what may well be the most brightly lit performance space he’s ever graced.

 

Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchinson delivered a pretty bloody special version of Backyard Skulls for us on their recent tour of Australia kinda sorta under the bridge… OK… So it’s in front of the bridge but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a killer acoustic take of one of our favourite tracks off ‘Pedestrian Verse’.

 

We were lucky enough to get our favourite Australian songstress Lisa Mitchell to sing a song for us on a particularly perfect Autumn day in Sydney recently.

She delivered a stunning acoustic version of her tune Spiritus against a pretty impressive backdrop… in fact bang a tourism Australia logo on here and I’d bet you’d see a bigger spike in visitors without the need for a scantily clad ex cricketers wife or any bloody profanity.

The latest installment of our Cool Accidents Under The Bridge Sessions comes courtesy of Fletcher aka Ben Fletcher aka Ben from Sarah Blasko’s band aka Ben from The Devoted Few aka Ben from Bluebottle Kiss…

Just when we thought Ed couldn’t get any cooler, he’s appeared with a new tattoo and an acoustic version of Ginuwine’s ‘96’ classic’ Pony which he recorded while in New York City recently.

Ed has spoken of his love of hip hop and R’n’B in the past and the fact that this song was originally released when he was 5 years old, gives testament to his love of the genre.

Our latest Under The Bridge Session sees The Wombats deliver a fun acoustic version of Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves) underneath a blue autumn Sydney sky.

The boys were in great spirits and if you look in the background you’ll see they weren’t the only UK visitors in town as the QE2 was dropping by as well.

As promised, here’s the Portugal. The Man Under The Bridge Session we shot last week.

Not even the shitty summer weather and gusty winds could stop PTM from delivering a killer performance of So American complete with a David Bowie inspired intro.
