CAPE HOY!
Stemming from the vestiges of lonesome acoustic folk and awash with naturalistic voice and tone, flowers a richly imaginative lo‐fi musician. James Woodberry, under the moniker of Cape Hoy!, is a Hobart native and frontman to post-punk brigade Manchester Mourning. Unlike the wiry riffs and recurrent chants indicative of the musician’s work with MM, Cape Hoy! diverts himself away from the electrical stamina of his previous work by incorporating the sounds of a hearty steel guitar and a voice high in pitch but rich in timbre to match. Maximising on unvarnished acoustic melodies, deeply personalised anecdotal lyrics and warm vocal resonance to portray his craft, Cape Hoy! is rapidly becoming known as the next coveted provocateur of lyrical storytelling within the Tasmanian capital’s vibrant independent music community.

“A piece of work that reminisces on Mt. Field and its surroundings, this song compares and contrasts someone with something. It’s also played in my favourite tuning.”

God That’s Far Too Long, He Was So Young
“The fictional and real life enigma of this song provided me with a bit of grit and change in my life respectively. It’s also the only song I play without a pick.”

“I worked on this one after a Cape Hauy trip with Tom, Claire and Smeal. I think Claire also wrote a poem, Tom created a blog (http://tilj.tumblr.com) and Smeal had an out of body experience listening to ol’ Mattson in Tramp No. 9.”
