Performers...

Jack Davies
Following the release of Jack’s debut solo album “Orange Moon Glow”, a collection of heartwrenching, and sometimes witty ballads, the West Australian folk singer will be touring back across the country. Playing a string of intimate acoustic shows, showcasing new songs, poems and loosely strung together sentences. Well known for his band "Jack Davies and The Bush Chooks", the group have toured extensively across Australia. Be sure not to miss his unique blend of spoken word, folk picking, sad singing and indi acoustic weirdery.

Claudie Joy
Taking inspiration from beloved storytellers such as Haley Heynderickx and Adrianne Lenker, Claudie paints together thoughtful words and poignant guitar into the delightful mess of sincerity, honesty and obscurity that has seen her charm audiences across the country. After selling out a string of shows in WA with her 7 piece group "Claudie Joy & the Joy Boys", and releasing their debut EP, Claudie made the move to TAS to pursue new opportunities, bringing with her a finely woven blanket of songs. Musical moments that reach in deep to the ever so tender parts of our lives.

Anna Schneider
As her first note floats out into the air, hair on the backs of necks rise and chatter simmers to stunned silence; Walyalup singer-songwriter Anna Schneider has you pulled in, and as she plays on, you’ll want to be nowhere else. The earnest elegance of Anna’s songwriting, which slips between folk and indie with alt-country touchstones, appears tantalizingly effortless, true, and endearingly demanding of your attention. Wrapping up 2023 with two industry nominations for ‘Best Vocalist’ and ‘Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter act’ at the WAM awards and a premiere for her music video ‘Crush’ on ABC’s rage, Anna’s latest single ‘Shiny Thing’, has cemented Anna as a true vocal rarity and an artist to be entranced by.

Billy Barker
With a sound that lands somewhere between Gareth Liddiard and Jeff Buckley, Billy Barkers live show can leave you feeling amused, pissed off and heartbroken within the same pint of beer. With a crowd grabbing presence, Alt-folk singer-songwriter Billy Barker takes audiences down that wondrous and gritty road of everyday life. Over the last five years Billy has repeatedly filled popular Melbourne venues, country pubs and festival stages with his rich catalogue of songs. The pandemic years saw a return home to Victoria’s rugged coastline where he’d first picked up a guitar, inspired by the songs of Dylan and Cohen. There, he’s built a studio, released a record of lost tracks and started recording a new album set for release in 2025. “A stunning songwriter with a pure and timeless voice.” Blake Scott of Peep Tempel.
