Flora has a unique ability to unite people from different genres, walks of life, and communities, creating a comfortable and cohesive musical experience. Influences from jazz, soul, country, folk, rock, and alternative music are subtly woven throughout the album, yet Flora's identity remains distinct and clear.

Having worked closely for two years with Lara Prokop, a friend and Melbourne-based producer. As a debut album for both Flora and Prokop, the two have crafted this album with resilience and persistence, etching their journey into the final form of the nine tracks. From the brittle rawness of just vocals and guitar to moments where the musical framework is built up with lush backing vocals, fiddle, banjo, and cello, supported by soft double bass, washy drums, and robust electric guitar. This album marks Flora’s growth as an artist and stands as a testament to the power of music as a tool for personal and collective healing.

With supports from The Double Dole Stringband. Double Dole Stringband play innovative and driving old-time tunes. Holding down the fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and vocals both sweet and rowdy, they've become stalwarts at venues around their borrowed hometown of Naarm/Melbourne, as well as folk festivals across the country.
The band ventured into the studio in winter 2024 to record their first full-length album, which they're excited to share with the world. When they're not writing and performing original tunes, you can find them playing high energy bushdances, running inclusive old-time sessions, and picking into the wee hours.
Inspired by personal experience, political discourse, animus for police and love of native birds, DDSB will have you tapping your toes so hard you'll forget about your misspent taxes.

Also sharing the stage will be local singer-songwriter Mia Mazzarella. A local singer/songwriter brings her folkish originals along with her take on some well known covers in a set that will take you on the emotional ride of youthful living & loving.
