Jesse McCormack - 
With his clear, bardic voice, deeply imbued sense of rhythm, infectious enthusiasm, and intense devotion to his craft, Tasmanian troubadour Jesse McCormack performs folk songs from England, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, and the bizarre realm of his imagination. A thoroughly accomplished wandering minstrel, Jesse has sung his heart out for many years on stages all over south-eastern Australia and north-western Europe, making memorable connections with his audiences wherever he goes. His music escorts listeners into a folkloric experience of druidic storytelling, conjuring a sound reminiscent of artists such as Steeleye Span or Loreena McKennitt and vibes of bohemian Achilleanism.

JB Paterson - 
JB Paterson is a critically acclaimed folk musician from Cedar Creek, QLD, Australia. Compared to greats like Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Townes Van Zandt, he has forged a highly DIY career, running his own off-grid studio in the countryside of Greater Brisbane. With three albums under his belt, receiving heavy rotation on Australian radio stations, his upcoming fourth album is highly anticipated. 

Paterson has shared the stage with notable acts like Mark Lanegan, Steve Kilbey (The Church), Darren Hanlon and The Audreys. Known for his highly entertaining live shows, he's played major festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival, Tamworth Country Music Festival, and Dashville Skyline. JB Paterson will be touring Australia in the Spring of 2024 with banjo player Rebecca Cunningham. This roving folk artist continues to captivate audiences with his tasteful and independent approach to music.
