The sounds quality is elite, the beer is cold and the atmosphere is wild so dust off your boots and get amongst this incredible night of live music.
Ally Row (VIC)
Gunaikurnai/Gippsland-based folk-rock/alt-country duo Ally Row has come a long way since their humble beginnings in mid-2021, touring the East Coast, crashing in a rooftop tent, playing “play-to-stay” gigs. Their big break came fast, winning The Tablelands Folk Festival Songwriting Contest with Bare Feet and a radio competition weeks later with Struggling to Breathe.
Drawing inspiration from Mumford & Sons, Of Monsters & Men, Sons of The East and The 502s, Ally Row blends toe-tapping energy with raw emotion. Armed with velvety harmonies, guitar, piano, modernized banjo, harmonica, and stomp box, their dynamic sound breaks genre barriers and brings audiences to their feet.
Michael Ward Trio
Raised on the salty coastal swamplands of Stratham in regional WA Michael has spent decades performing live music around WA and Australia. The acoustic singer songwriter delivers his fusion of alt country, gritty blues & roots with a supercharged energy whenever he's on stage. His love of touring and performing live has seen him currently elevated to one of Perth’s most prolific touring original artists. He's joined by full time professional jazz musicians Ryan Daunt and Adam Springhetti who add effortless detail and texture to the set.
"Love the energy and musicianship (my god that rhythm section!)”
Perth Blues Club 2024
“A 45 minute set of high octane Country rock originals and the occasional cherry picked cover thrown in. It was music that got you thumping and bumping… Michael’s infectious energy drove the set flying on top of some damn fine rock country”
