Event Duration: 135 minutes

We are going to kick this night off with a recent discovery from National Folk Festival this Easter, Rowena Wise. Rowena has been performing with her family band for years and she is just beginning to perform solo. She has a catchy bunch of indie-folk songs we have been loving in recent weeks so we thought you should get a taste!

Steve Smyth is like a man possessed when he performs. He channels the energy of his emotive songs, moving around the stage stomping, crouching, conducting, and wailing with pure energy and emotion. Steve has been touring Europe successfully for years, but is only recently building a big profile in Australia. His new record will be released on Ivy League (great local label) and 2014 is going to be a breakthrough year for a man that deserves it.

Raised By Eagles are a Melbourne band fronted by Luke Sinclair, and they released one of the albums of the year in 2013. They will be playing in full band glory, bringing their quality brand of alt-country to proceedings. We'll let someone else explain ...

"A four-piece from Melbourne, Raised By Eagles have conjured top shelf ingredients to produce an irresistible sound. Nick O’Mara’s guitar work in particular oozes rich tone and class and Luke Sinclair has the perfect voice for country-rock… somewhere between Ryan Adams and Ryan Bingham. With Luke Richardson (bass) and Johnny Gibson (drums) adding a muscular but lithe rhythm section, it all makes for some lush, wholesome nourishment for the ears" Rhythms Magazine
