Jed has been busy touring his new album, The Last Day of Winter. Whilst the new record retains his signature electric slide guitar playing, he has expanded his creative palette beyond the power trio format of bass, drums and guitars by bringing in Cat Canteri and Justin Bernasconi of The Stillsons. The result is a diverse collection of songs which focus on Rowe’s deft touch with story and melody, with an emotional depth that resonates after the final note falls away.

Emerging from the forests of Belgrave come vibrant brass-clad acoustic duo The Bean Project. Featuring guitar and French horn, The Bean Project encompass the territory of folk, jazz and singer-songwriter genres, showcasing a distinctly unique style of original material. We welcome them back to congratulate them on winning the Youth Folk Alliance Award at the National Folk Festival.

Singer-songwriter Lucy Wise has delighted audiences across Australia, New Zealand and the UK with her unique blend of folk, chamber and pop music combined with masterful storytelling. Drawing inspiration from her background in Appalachian and Celtic folk music, as well as legendary songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, Lucy’s songs sketch universally recognisable stories that are grounded in the realities of everyday experience.
