FEATURED ARTISTS
AP D’Antonio
Hailed as Australia’s cross between Charlie Chaplin and Bob Dylan, AP brings his passion for country blues and traditional folk music, with the promise of an old-time good-time. In 2018, AP was invited to audition for The Voice Australia, reaching the Live Finals. AP sings songs of rambling, brawling, gambling, ups and downs, love had and lost and some traditional favourites.
Jen Lush
Adventurous singer-songwriter known for her dynamic, yet intimate music. These are tender folk songs flung into evocative, experimental rock infused soundscapes with storytelling at the heart. Jen’s 2021 album Let Loose The Beating Birds is a commentary on motherhood, suburban life and the broader political landscape of our current time.
Bennett & Co.
A desert highway hipslinger who’s been slow dancing and breaking hearts since before the internet. This seasoned troubadour knows his way around a catchy hook and a good time, and is saddled-up and ready to take you on a wild ride with his goodie-bag of shambolic folk ‘n’ roll, dreamy suburban hymns and seedy motel blues. (formerly known as Johnny American Horse)
Georgy Rochow
With 10+ years of experience as a live performer under her belt fronting popular power-pop bands like Hey Harriet and keeping the party going all night, along with more intimate solo gigs, Georgy has proven herself a versatile performer. You’ll fall in love with her dreamy folk sound.
Alexander Black
An exciting artist who creatively combines pop production and singer-songwriter craft to produce energetic music with meaningful messaging. Alexander hopes to inspire emotional growth and understanding through his music and performance.
Jessica Luxx
Where 60’s dream pop meets country… unique storytelling and sing along choruses to leave you with feel-good nostalgia and sweet ‘n’ dusty vibes. Jessica will steal your heart away and have you feeling just a little blue with her latest video for the single, Heavy Lifting.
