Sin City
Having spent several years darkening doorways and gracing stages around the globe in other musical guises SIN CITY were formed in the dusty desert streets of Spain’s Costa Blanca. Originally hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, the pair found themselves sharing a squalid room in the town of Alicante and spent several months writing songs inspired by their mutual love for outlaw country, barroom soul and rock ’n’ roll. From Marty Robbins to Mink Deville, Glen Campbell to Gram Parsons and Bobbie Gentry to Bruce Springsteen, they draw their roots from a gumbo of 60s & 70s country-soul Americana. With such influences worn firmly on their sleeves, SIN CITY weaves their own stories of drunken heartbreak, road-worn revelry and cowboy-tinged, murder-balladry into these classic forms. Their live shows, either as a stripped-down acoustic duo or as a full 5-piece powerhouse, have quickly become infamous for their wild energy, wry humour and tender charm. Currently based in Melbourne, SIN CITY is fast earning a reputation for their wild live shows, expect a barrage of country-soul-tinged rock 'n' roll. 
 
Leslie. D. King
Leslie D. King, the country boy stuck in the city, the soul soaked rock ’n’ roller that wears on his heart on his sleeve. His music will instantly transport you from the hustle and bustle of the city to the golden fields of the South-west Victorian countryside. With a voice as powerful as a steam train and a story that will bring you to tears, this Cobden born star is ready to engrave his name on the Australian blues and roots scene, one town at a time.
With killer performances at Port Fairy Folk Festival, Loch Hart Music Festival and Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival to name a few, King is ready to make 2023 his year. Backed by the formidable force of his band the Trembling Shakes, this act has the ability to get you dancing and singing all night.
 
Head Spin

Alex Hamilton (Harmonica), Pete Convery (Bass) and Don Sargood (Drums) are Head Spin. Brought together by a simple twist of fate they make music that takes blues, rock, grunge and soul and spins it together. Their sound is a powerful mix of screaming harp, thunderous bass and driving drums that’s enough to make your head spin.
 
Maxine Fink (Foggy Notion)


After taking a couple months break from Foggy Notion, Maxine is back with a change of pace, ready to serve you the new fruits of her labour.
 
HogWash
Hogwash is a rowdy group of rock n rollers hailing from the swamps of Melbourne. With a southern-fried sound so good it will make you want to slap your mammy, Hogwash let their freak flag fly at any opportunity. Don’t you dare miss a chance to come and get dirty with the Hogs!
