About the Quarry
In 1986 Reabold Hill’s abandoned quarry, which had not been used for eighty years, was re-opened as ‘The Quarry Amphitheatre’. Surrounded by natural bush land, it and offers panoramic views across the City to the Darling Range and provides an ideal setting for intimate acoustic concerts.
‘Live At The Quarry’ was launched in 2008 with an inaugural series comprising nine concerts in the Quarry Amphitheatre. Following the success of the initial season, Mellen Events and Lloyd Events teamed together to present the 2008/2009 season. The series was an overwhelming success, and included the WA debut of Paul Kelly A-Z, a major highlight.

SAM AMIDON (US)
Sam Amidon was born and raised in Brattleboro, Vermont by folk musicians Peter and Mary Alice Amidon. He has released three albums of radically re-worked folksongs: “But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted,” recorded at his then-home of Harlem in 2006 with Thomas Bartlett; followed by “All Is Well” in 2008 and “I See The Sign” in 2010, both recorded in Iceland with producer Valgeir Sigurðsson.
Sam’s folksong albums have received wide acclaim and have pulled many a soul back from the brink… his itinerant wanderings have taken him to far-off lands… and his solo performances have taken on a life and tenor of their own. Sam’s drawn comics and enigmatic home-made videos, the “self-inflicted field recordings” resulting from these internal and external journeys, have resulted in exhibitions at the Tony Shafrazi and Audio Visual Arts galleries in New York City, and the Gallery Kuhturm in Leipzig. His audio-visual show/comics lecture “Home Alone Inside My Head” was premiered at NYC’s The Kitchen in November 2010.
CATHERINE TRIACOS (Sydney)
Sydney based singer-songwriter Catherine Traicos offers up a beguiling blend of alt-country, blues, roots and folk, delivered by one of the most distinctive and beautiful voices in contemporary music.
Catherine’s ability to combine surprising arrangements, her gorgeously delicate smoky voice and brilliant live performances have seen her compared to everyone from Gillian Welch, Cat Power and Beth Orton to eels and Cowboy Junkies.
