‘Front Bar Sessions’ with Jess Ribeiro
Corner Hotel (Richmond, VIC)
Sunday, 25 May 2025 3:00 pm
Ah, Sundays at the Corner — where the beer’s cold, the music’s hot and the vibe’s just right. We’re bringing back the magic of lazy afternoons with a limited series of Front Bar Sessions. Think free live music, good company and that classic Corner Front Bar energy.
It’s the kind of place where you can pull up a stool, order a pint and lose track of time while local legends and up-and-comers play the perfect Sunday soundtrack.
Front Bar Sessions won’t stick around forever, so make the most of ‘em while they’re here. Round up the crew, grab a spot by the bar and let’s finish the weekend the right way.
This week's lineup features:
Naarm artist Jess Ribeiro brings back the sun with her fourth album Summer of Love, capturing audiences, building intimate walls of instrumentation with band members on violin and viola, bass, tape loops and drums, guitars and piano. Isolation, loss, snatches of love, being tougher than a tough world, expectation versus reality, once-in-a-century pandemics and healing. This is Summer of Love very much in chronological order.
“Ribeiro communicates something sublime – a record of our anxious times, with a dash of optimism for a better future. One in which we experience it all, the light and the dark, together.”
The Guardian ★★★★“Summer of Love is both surreal and strikingly direct in equal measure, Ribeiro’s voice so up front in the mix that it’s like a close friend leaning in to tell you the secrets of the universe… swirling like a storm set to break at any moment with Ribeiro fearlessly positioned at the centre.”
Rolling Stone ★★★★
