Australian singing sensation and storyteller Iain Campbell Smith’s “Bagarap Empires” is the soundtrack of the documentary film “Bougainville Sky,” recounting the compelling story of Iain’s time on a peacekeeping mission on Bougainville Island in the South Pacific. An inventive lyricist, (even in Melanesian pidgin dialect!) Iain's songs are alternately rollicking, haunting, or deeply moving. Well-known down under, hitting the Blue Mountains Music Festival on the circuit, Iain's recent performance schedule lists the Susquehanna Folk Festival, the famed Birchmere, and IOTA! Get your tickets now! With perceptive humor, a wry smile, and wild, wobbly knees, this guy must be seen live to believe it!! You'll walk out a different person than you came in!
