Karl S Williams and Sally Wiggins
Genre defying multi-instrumentalist and award winning songwriter Karl S. Williams joins forces with renowned percussionist Sally Wiggins to bring his folk, blues and gospel inflected songs into fascinating new territory. With an expansive musical vocabulary, the duo engage in an exciting dialogue - a dance which is at once playful, lyrical and deeply moving. Less than a year into their journey the pair have already clocked up appearances at festivals such as Cronulla Jazz & Blues, Wintermoon and Kiama Jazz & Blues - and opened for The Whitlams.
Seeking to expand, in a live setting, upon the solitary recordings of his latest album ‘Rainbows in the Gasoline’, Karl S. Williams fortuitously met Sally Wiggins at Majors Creek Music Festival early in 2023. The mutual admiration and immediate connection translated into a magical musical communication from the first moment they convened to play together. Karl had long been enamoured with the drummer-singer duo format in its capacity to both rock and be intimate so the pair set about exploring the gamut of this sound, to mesmerising effect. With a mandate to improvise, eschew convention and play, Karl and Sally liberate each other to explore and lean into the songs, playing with space and silence as much as notes.
J.J. Spence Band
Brought together through African drumming, J.J. Spence band’s essence and foundation was built through the shared love and interest of traditional African rhythm. They have created a refreshing, soulful sound that draws inspiration from a wide variety of genres extending from World Music, Folk, Reggae through to Desert Blues n’ Roots. They deliver a heartfelt, grounded performance with focus on hypnotic grooves that will be sure to uplift your spirits. They have developed a reputation as a must see act throughout South Coast festivals.
