The Cal Williams Jr Band - MySpace
Three times ‘South Australian Songwriter of the Year’ and ‘Best New Music, UK’ award winner, Cal Williams Jr is one of Australia’s finest slide guitar players. The Cal Williams Jr Band is described as: “From the moment you hear that slide guitar - time stands still. Completely mesmerising and wonderfully soulful, Cal’s music gets into your very core - you are at its mercy til the very last note.” - Rock the Vote, Australia.
Redhead - MySpace
Following 10 years on the international circuit with vocal powerhouse Fruit, the fiery redhead of that superbly acclaimed group brings Redhead to the stage. A bright and exciting 3 piece that delivers a rocky, jazz-tinged fusion: a sonic punch shifting between acoustic plaintiveness and the explosion of raucous girl rock.
The Emily Davis Trio - Website
Emily’s music comes straight from the heart. It is a finely crafted expression of home truths woven with earthy acoustic sounds and hauntingly beautiful lyrics. Her raw energy, stage presence, unique vocals and soulful guitar work mesh into a performance that will enrich you with its honesty. Her live performances are warm and inviting, drawing the audience in for an especially moving experience.
Louise Watson - MySpace
Louise Watson is a solo singer/songwriter with a uniquely effortless vocal tone, instantly recognised as her own. Her compositions weave intricate guitar work with delicate melodies and impassioned story telling, to yield a subtly poppy yet grounded, acoustic sound.
