Peppermint Grove Studios welcomes you to their first in studio concert of 2022 featuring the incredible Pikoù Panez and Emily-Rose and the Wild Things.

Pikoù Panez

Based in Muloobinba (Newcastle), on Awabakal Land, Pikoù Panez bring original sounds inspired by progressive folk, jazz, soul and world music. With visceral textures and thick harmonies, this six piece creates both a dreamy and energetic disposition through experimental songwriting/ improvisation. In celebration of the release of their debut single ‘Crocodile’, Pikoù Panez are embracing the crisp Autumn air on their first ever tour down south.

Emily-Rose and the Wild Things

In a world which dances between jazz, folk, songwriter and experimental, one finds lyrics of weight and beauty, underpinned by profound but constantly fresh acoustic and electric worlds.

Headed by Songstress and keys player Emily-Rose Sarkova, her full band will be presenting songs from their debut album ‘Upon These Open Skins’, which has been compared to sounds as diverse as Joni Mitchell, Hiatus Kaiyote, Sam Amidon and Dirty Projectors.

From performing classical piano in French cathedrals, klezmer accordion across Poland, tango in Buenos Aires and funk keyboards and synths at the infamous Pineapple Lounge, Woodfordia, there isn’t much music Emily-Rose hasn’t explored. You may know her from ARIA nominated group Chaika, soft songwriting duo Little Clouds or improvising solo piano as ‘Slow Streams’.
