JEN LUSH SUNDAY 24th FEBRUARY 2019 Tickets $22.00 (inc Gst) Purchase tickets here through Cheesetix Doors open 1:00pm - Music from 2:00pm 
A stunning collection of contemporary Australian poetry transformed into evocative, modern folk songs that detour through alt-country and darker pop ballads to hammer on your heart.
From her diverse artistic background in dance, theatre and electronica music in Europe and the UK, to the folk-tinged music of Cat Dog Bird, Jen’s love of word-smithery and music coalesce on her 2017 album The Night’s Insomnia. This beautiful album of Australian poetry crafted into songs has taken Jen and her stellar band to festivals and venues in South Australia, Victoria, NSW and Tasmania drawing audiences in close with melody-driven songs, shot through with pure, spacious vocals, acoustic and percussive guitars, drifting accordion and soaring harmonies that reflects each of the poetic narratives. Poem-songs that speak of bushfires, abandonment, sleepless nights, sympathy with the bedeviled natural world, a jaunty villanelle, a cri de Coeur, a quiet sigh. Currently working on her new album, Jen returns to the deeply personal, taking the magnifying glass to the small idiosyncrasies of her life in the suburbs, mining for simple joys and everyday frailties in acoustic songs which teeter on the edges of folk, alt-country and something entirely it’s own... you can hear Jen here... KYLIE KAIN SUNDAY 24th MARCH 2019 Tickets $22.00 (inc Gst) Purchase tickets here through Cheesetix Doors open 1:00pm - Music from 2:00pm 
Kylie Kain hails from the Fleurieu Peninsula and has been using music as a form of outreach to Adelaide’s minority groups through song writing workshops and storytelling, as well as captivating audiences with her own tunes of confrontation and comedy.
She has supported the likes of Pete Murray and performs in Adelaide’s wineries and restaurants in regularly sold out rooms. Kylie is a wordsmith with an easy elegance on the guitar. She has recorded 2 albums; ‘Things That Float’ (2013) and ‘Echoes From A Little Room’ (2008) and has received national awards for various tracks. Recognise Australia awarded her best song representing reconciliation as judged by Gurrumul and Delta Goodrum (2014) with her song ‘Stompin’ the Ground’. Her song ‘Hold Hands’ won Pt. Fairy Folk Festival’s ‘Peace Song of the Year’ award in 2006, while ‘Gold’ took out the National Songwriters Association’s award for the spiritual category in 2011. Many years of writing songs with youth in schools, homeless shelters and detox centres; with the elderly in dementia wards and with new and indigenous Australians, has given Kylie the opportunity to draw stories from others and craft them into song and lyric which has given rise to a poignant impact on the storytellers themselves, making their experience feel valid and offer a sense of healing and understanding. Kylie has a wide following from youth to the elderly and is a joy to watch perform. You can hear Kylie here...

Situated in Wexford, 20 year old twins Brandon and Ashley combine to create The Ocelots. They have crafted their songwriting and musical experience together to produce a forceful blend of rich harmonies and bare, raw acoustic folk. Their music perfectly embodies the breezy effortlessness of early Bob Dylan, and Simon & Garfunkel.
During the 2018 summer festival season The Ocelots performed all across Ireland, UK and mainland Europe and also toured with acts such as Jack Johnson, Glen Hansard, Hudson Taylor and Isaac Gracie. Since then they have been back in the studio working on their next EP which will be released in 2019. This their first tour of Australia will include their new material as well as showcasing the first single of the forthcoming EP. The Ocelots live set combines all that is great about live folk music, so come and be charmed by the charismatic duo. You can hear The Ocelots here... |
