Dave Mann - Reach Out live with Roy Martinez @ The Fly By Night Club, Fremantle. Dec '09. - Video
PUBLISHED:  Apr 23, 2009
DESCRIPTION:
Dave Mann performed with his player Roy Martinez in Dec '09 at the Fly By Night Club in Fremantle, Western Australia.
This song Reach Out, was inspired after watching a movie called "the Rabbit Proof Fence" and tells a true story about 3 young girls taken from their family and native home land in North Western Australia as part of the stolen generation movement of the Australian government back in the 50 and 60's and beyond. These young sisters broke out from this "half cast camp" and walked all the way back home - following the rabbit proof fence - a ferral animal barrier fence that ran from the south to the north of W.A. A very long walk indeed. They did it twice in the end. This song reflects the journey they had and feelings and emotions of their trek.

Dave Mann with his battle worn guitar has been traveling Australia and overseas, for the last five years performing his down to earth acoustic songs with passion and intimacy. Open-tunings, slide guitar and Dave's dynamic vocals create a rich combination of raw roots energy with soulful tender lyricism that cuts straight to the truth. 
So, with one of W.A.'s best bass players, Roy Martinez, and percussion wizard Arun Satgunasingam on drums something very special is communicated. Always fresh and spontaneous. Forget pretenses this is just quality music guaranteed. A bloody good show!
