At 16 years old, Elias had the opportunity live out his dream and perform alongside Tommy Emmanuel in the Maui Cultural Arts Centre, Hawaii - an experience that further fueled his passion for music. Over the years, he has had the privilege of collaborating with numerous musicians from across the globe, enriching his musical repertoire.

If you asked Majelen what her music sounds like, she’d tell you it sounds like Ani DiFranco meets Ed Sheeran - acoustic doof doof for romantic nomads resulting in a backpacker’s story of adventure and love, played out on mountaintops, beaches and the Australian outback.

Trained at the Conservatorium of Music majoring in Jazz Guitar, Majelen’s acoustic sounds are the foundation of her music. Through creating her own unique playing style, utilising her right hand for both the chordal and drumming aspects of her sound, Majelen creates energy and rhythm on-stage in a manner never really seen before. 
This rhythmic technique combined with thought-provoking lyrics and beautiful melody create a joy-filled, and uplifting listening experience.

Majelen's first studio album, recorded at Abbey Road Studios London, is set for release 2024, distributed through Virgin/Universal Music Group via her own Australian based label, Liondance Records. Her music has already seen industry nods with nominations for Musician of the Year and Breakout Artist of the Year in the 2024 Gold Coast Music Awards, multiple tracks charting in the iTunes top 100 in Australia, Germany, Canada and UK; and the design of her own signature line of guitar by Cole Clark Guitars.

Majelen toured extensively throughout 2023 and early 2024 across the UK, Europe, and America and is looking forward to performing further around Australia/NZ and internationally throughout 2025.

After his historic January 2023 Memphis International Blues Challenge win, and with his star continuing to rise, Frank Sultana, the globetrotting Australian bluesman returns home from the USA for the fourth time in two years, as he embarks on his most ambitious run of NSW shows since the world started noticing what we here have known for years. The 'Down Home' Tour will take in over 30 dates between March and July 2025, as Frank performs solo, intimate, hand picked venues across his home state. He will bring the visceral soul singing and raw authenticity that won him first place against over 150 artists in the most prestigious blues competition in the world.

Joining Frank for this leg of the tour is Canadian blues roots artist Jon Hines. Frank and Jon met in Memphis in 2023 as they competed in the Blues challenge and have since become good friends. This is Jons first Australian tour, and will see him playing in the NT as well as NSW.
