After taking away the Nannup's Emerging Artist Award in 2016, Dan headed to Germany to play the first official Kornern Festival, nailed a filmed performance for the famed online Cardinal Sessions, launched his ‘Howler’ EP to a sold out crowd at Mojos Bar and has not stopped since!

Dan Howl’s dark and gritty voice recalls shades of Tom Waits and when on fire with the band also hovers around the territory of Gary Clarke Jr., The Black Keys and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, setting the stage for one of the most menacing and ecstatic live shows going around.

𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐒𝐇𝐄

Justin Walshe is the charismatic leader of his band The Folk Machine in which he often makes speeches, heckles punters and even sings all over WA's stages and beyond.

His recently released and allegedly acclaimed fourth studio album "The Great Escape" is a sprawling acoustic storm of bluegrass instruments and wild storytelling. Amazingly, sometimes he performs solo without his amazing band, which is how it all begins (and possibly ends) anyway, amazingly.

He’s been talking since he was born and is now considered an expert. He looks forward to everything, especially the future, and can’t wait to tell you how great it’s going to be. In recent years, you may have heard Justin announcing acts and reuniting lost children on festival stages, rodeos, dog shows and trams around WA.
