Past Guests

Liz first crossed paths with Robbie in a rural Victorian café in 2013 and soon they were seeking out opportunities to play together. From their first rehearsal it was evident that a lengthy musical relationship was on the cards. The obvious chemistry between the pair is intensified by a willingness to never play any song the same way twice. Frencham’s warmth is met by Melville’s beautiful harmonic dissonances, and every nuance is distinct.

Jessica Moussi’s music takes you on a journey from Melbourne’s intimate laneway bars to dusty Middle Eastern streets and back again. Her Middle Eastern heritage is what makes her style unique, but her voice is what will catch your attention first. Weaving mesmerising harmonies, she confesses wrong doing, observes relationships and tells stories with a rare honesty.

It’s no surprise that the prestigious Black Rose Acoustic Society in Colorado USA describes Australian guitarist, Nick Charles, as “a world class stylist and composer”. His dazzling, melodic fingerpicking on 6 and 12 string guitars, stinging slide and a lifetime’s stories and songs from the musical highway has him labelled by the Melbourne Age as “Australia’s virtuoso of acoustic roots and blues”.
