Live & Local: The River Li

Open Fridays

There’s a special kind of magic created when siblings sing together, and sister act, The River Li are no exception.

Growing up in the stunning world heritage listed Blue Mountains provided the perfect backdrop for Aurora and Tessa’s soaring harmonies to take flight. At only 20 and 17, they already have a string of gigs to their name, both as solo singer-songwriters and as two thirds of former trio, Breathing Underwater.

The River Li sing original songs as well as fresh arrangements of their favourite tracks by indie pop, folk and alt country artists, accompanying themselves on guitar and keyboards. At times exuberant and dynamic, and at others, quiet and heart breaking, The River Li are steadily making a name for themselves in the live music scene across the Blue Mountains and beyond.

Admission to Open Fridays: Live & Local is free. Walk-ins welcome.

This initiative is proudly supported by the NSW Government through the Culture Up Late Western Sydney program.
