To celebrate the release of their debut album, Down In The Dirt, Adelaide's Tin Town (Courtney Robb & Snooks La Vie) play a very special show at historic Ballara Retreat, Warooka. Gather your friends for a unique live music experience in the idylic surrounds of this gem of the Yorke Peninsula.

Tin Town is the new collaboration between seasoned Australian artists Courtney Robb and Snooks La Vie. As a wife-and-husband duo, they deliver grounded, folk-country melodies and unfiltered storytelling. Their songs feel vulnerable but intentional – the kind of music that doesn’t need to raise its voice to be heard.

Robb’s vocals are arresting in their honesty, textured and expressive, carrying the weight of the lyrics without overselling them. La Vie’s harmonica is a vital thread in the Tin Town sound - melancholic one minute, cutting the next - adding colour and character in all the right places. It gives their songs a sense of movement and mood that lingers long after the final note.

After playing together for the past few years, they are excited to officially join forces to release new music as Tin Town. The name Tin Town was inspired by the Port Adelaide Wool Stores Heritage Precinct — a place the duo now calls home. Nicknamed “Tin Town” for its corrugated iron houses, wide dusty streets, rich history and colourful characters, the area offers a steady stream of creative inspiration for their music.

It is clear the duo values space, clarity, and emotional truth. Their music is not polished to a shine, and that’s the point. Tin Town sounds like real life: a bit weathered, a bit tender, always authentic.

Tin Town’s debut album due for release in October 2025, features eleven original tracks, recorded with producer Ryan Martin John of Cactus Cactus Sound. Think folk, country, and blues in equal measure - best heard with a glass of red in hand and nowhere to be.
