The Tryouts are a two piece indie pop band who met when singer-songwriter, Chelsea Reed, hired guitarist, David Macmichael, to back her up on a small Canadian tour in late 2017.

It was there they penned the autobiographical debut single, Washer, which leads the launch of their first EP Nothing Bad is Ever Going to Happen. Produced by Jack Moffitt (The Preatures, I Know Leopard, Johnny Hunter), the EP showcases a range of surfy sounds, bratty power pop, and piano ballads. Lead single Washer has already been met with glowing reviews from community and national radio across Australia including Triple J, FBi, 4ZZZ, RTR FM and 2SER. The duo have shared the stage with notable artists such as Ben Lee, Sloan Peterson ,Tamara & the Dreams and Joan & the Giants as well as being invited to open for legendary ‘90s band Smudge.

What’s a chef to do when he’s over the smoky grills, long hours,
family drama, relationships, and life in general? Some blokes buy a
Harley, some chase younger women, well Kane Vincent took the
advice of a Jason Isbell song to “find what makes you happy … and
do it till you’re gone,” picked up his old Maton, and got stuck into it.
Over the last five years he’s lugged that guitar from pubs, to parties,
and festivals, but is no longer singing in the kitchen. A loveable
spirit, impressive song writing, and engaging vocals won him
the 2019 Bruthen Blues and Arts Festival’s Jam Night; a definitive “I
reckon I can do this” moment.
Keenly observant, Kane finds lyrical inspiration in both the mundane
and extraordinary stories of the everyday. These songs have a
folk/pop sensibility, a soulful edge, more than a hint of country and a
familiar nod to the blues.

Genre defying multi-instrumentalist and award winning songwriter Karl S. Williams is taking his new album ‘Rainbows in the Gasoline’ on the road with a series of extensive and expanding tours. Joining him is renowned South Coast percussionist Sally Wiggins who brings an immense musicality - enabling these folk, blues and gospel inflected songs to expand into fascinating new territory.
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. 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.
Long enamoured with the drummer-singer duo format in its capacity to both rock and be intimate, it was a fortuitous meeting at Majors Creek Music Festival early in 2023 which brought Karl and Sally together. The mutual admiration and immediate connection translated into a magical musical communication from the first moment they convened to play. Now the pair set about exploring the gamut of this sound on stages across the country - to mesmerising effect.

Dave Graney and Clare Moore have in recent years been swinging between song focused studio albums (like this one) and more band focused rock albums, (like their previous set In A Mistly).
(strangely)(emotional) is so carefully titled because that’s the age we live in. A person has to be sure and careful of their words. It’s a sensitive area, the world, in 2024. Even though it is also brutal, viral and violent all at once. (The ground we walk upon is contested and just holding together with surface tension). So the words are quarantined from each other, in parentheses so as not to be qualifying or commenting on the other.
The sounds on the album come from vintage drum machines, electric (six and twelve string) and acoustic (nylon and steel string) guitars, pedal steel, harp, harmonica, electric piano, drums, vibes, marimba, mellotron and tenor and soprano sax.
The words are rich, playful and very personal. Dave Graney is a proud Creative Creep.
(strangely)(emotional) comes after a year where Graney and Moore toured the country to joy and acclaim with their 90s band Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes. This album was cooking away in the background all the while.
It’s a Dave Graney and Clare Moore album. They’ve always done their own thing. This time, it’s (strangely)(emotional)

Steve Kilbey, frontman for Australian dreamy psychedelic rock pioneers, The Church will celebrate the band’s incredible songbook by performing all of The Church’s Singles from 1980 – 1992 for some special regional shows
For this unique concept Steve Kilbey will bring his diverse and iconic discography to life and honour one of Australian music’s most cherished catalogues.
Finally looking back, not in anger, but in fondness, upon those early years of The Church as they stumbled around Australia, Europe and the USA, a hummin’ and a strummin’. Stripped down to a single acoustic guitar, and the bare bones of the songs revealed, the words and music take on new unexpected meanings.
Kilbey’s ongoing patter and banter fleshes out the stories behind the songs we all know and love. Filled with avaricious managers, dissolute musicians and the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd, his tales are at once, hilarious and yet regretful.
Including ‘Unguarded Moment’, ‘Almost With You’, ‘Under The Milky Way’ etc. etc.
This show takes in all the big hits as well as quite a few narrow misses. The divine comedy and the divine tragedy wrapped up in an evening.
