“3 talented female artists performing their individual songs together with
strong harmonies, beautiful instrumental arrangements and fun banter”

Melbourne Songwriters Collective presents 3 songwriters in the round: small but powerful Chilean-Australian artist Pia Nesvara, swirly bedroom producer Chev Person, and introspective and playful artist, STAV.
Their live showcases bring out each songwriter's unique story and are full of surprises. Spontaneously joining in on each other's songs with harmonies, their performances look like improvised instrumental melodies and subtle percussive grooves intertwined with intimate stories, of joy, sadness and life experiences with honest sharing of their songwriting processes.

As culturally diverse, female-identifying musicians, the Collective are aware of the importance to push and elevate their music and share their stories. MSC is community oriented and has an ethos of sharing musical expression, and sharing stories and cultures interactively with audiences.

The Collective’s live set can be seen as a mix of folk/singer-songwriter and soul, combining guitars, keyboard and 3-part vocal harmony - written both individually and collaboratively.
Their debut performance via the Folk Alliance (Folk Unlocked) in Feb 2021 saw the group representing Melbourne songwriters on an International online stage, sharing each other’s songs, songwriting insights and intimate stories of culture and experience. They have since set in stone the vision of this community - as one built from their individual artistry and love for songwriting.

As well as being ready to dive head first into recording their Debut Album, The Collective are fresh off the back of 2 highly commended debut festival shows at The National Folk Festival Canberra and are scheduled to play Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass Festival
in October 2022.

+ Special Guest MAIZY COOMBES

Blue Mountain’s based Maizy Coombes, is an endearing Violinist/Songwriter with a contemporary folk sound beneath wholesome lyricism.
Her approach to life is equal parts adorable, resourceful and sneaky, all of which is reflected brightly in her music.
Using a loop pedal to support herself, this unique sound scape has the ability to bring out tears as you apply make-up or brush your teeth, yet still leave you feeling contemplative and joyous.
We first encountered Maizy’s gorgeous fiddle playing in “Lime and Steel”. Don’t miss this opportunity to see her subtle and solo.
