Imagine you’ve stepped sideways into a fever dream of extra-terrestrial folk — where lush harmonies clash with wild rhythms, folk meets soul and electronica, and you truly belong listening and dancing within this lush, slow burning musical eco-system.

Zeal H. (FKA Mia Petra) make their return to the Mid-North Coast, traveling with Canadian-Australian sonic shape-shifters Shark & Fox.

Shark & Fox | Canada’s Jaron Freeman-Fox bounces around violin-controlled synths and a child’s fretless stratocaster, Australia’s Emily-Rose Sharkova pumps accordion & miniature keyboards through the subs and Rose Callaghan drums a kit fashioned from an Argentinian bombo and Indonesian hand drums. Somewhere in between bent grooves and exquisite vocal incantations, they reshape traditional sounds into something wild, beautiful and unexpected.

Zeal H. | The combination of ZEAL’s intuitive writing style with the exploratory musicianship of her ensemble gives a sonic body to liminal, nuanced
emotions, while remaining deeply connected to the concept of place. Lush four-part harmonies move sideways through an ecosystem of percussion, acoustically controlled modular synth, elastic double bass, and undulating saxophone.

Come curious. Come limber. Come weird.
