The Artists:
Alice Terry’s debut single Emotion released in July 2017 enjoyed number 1 spot in the iTunes Blues charts. Alice sounds like a gutsy Delta blues queen whose spirited performances and clever writing have earned her recognition and support with artists like Beth Hart and Allen Stone.
The Strides are famous for their classic roots reggae with a hip hop edge join with Afro Moses for a rare performance-homage to Afrobeat pioneer, the legendary Fela Kuti.
Festival larrikins King Tide are arguably the best uptown/jamdown/rocksteady reggae/got soul combo in the land. These ARIA nominees and OZ Music Award winners invite you to come along and argue the point!
The Crooked Fiddle Band weaves a common thread through twisting rhythms and frenetic accompaniment of gypsy, klezmer, Balkan folk and cinematic post rock.
A love of Jazz, soul, hip hop and world music underlies Alphamama’s unique sound and approach to songwriting as she shares her wondering’s about the state of the world, the cosmos and a woman’s place in it.
A tribe of long lost Latinos, San Lazaro are Australia’s most prolific and longest established creators and performers of original Latin music. Plus the Afrobrasiliana collective of DJs brings Tropical dance floor sounds from Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond.
Join this amazing line-up of artists for a unique and environmentally sustainable celebration of diversity and great music.
