The Cave Inn welcomes the much-anticipated single launch of 'Song about Water' by the sensational Favourite Kid.

Favourite Kid are a dynamic sibling trio who have bounced onto Queensland’s indie-folk and pop music scene with influences from Mumford & Sons, George Ezra and The Lumineers. It all started over five years ago when older brother, Ethan started writing and recording his own songs as Aspy Jones and then talked his sister, Jaimie and brother, Saul into joining him. Favourite Kid have already graced the renowned stages at many festivals including Woodford Folk Festival, Mitchell Creek Rock and Blues Fest, Undercover Artist Festival and the Gympie Music Muster and their exceptional talent earned them a Limelight Award when they played at the Caloundra Music Festival. Songwriter, Ethan was also the first to win the Q Music Dalwood-Wylie Award at the Queensland Music Awards in 2024.
