✨Tall Poppy String Band✨

Tall Poppy String Band is an old time trio featuring fiddler George Jackson, guitarist Morgan Harris, and banjoist Cameron DeWhitt. Drawing from the deep well of American string band music, Tall Poppy String Band approaches tradition with playful curiosity; each performance more a discussion than a statement.

✨Squirrel Nut Zippers✨

Sparked by the flames of 1920s jazz, klezmer, and vaudeville, the Squirrel Nut Zippers blazed onto the music scene in the mid-1990s, when big band music was having a resurgence and the doors were wide open for curious leader Jimbo Mathus and his caustic crew of rollicking, ragtime musicians. Formed in 1993 in the Chapel Hill area of North Carolina by Mathus (vocals, guitar, trombone) with former vocalist and banjo player Katherine Whalen, the eclectic group of diverse local artists quickly gelled, weaving together a tapestry of sounds comprising elements of early jazz, blues, and southern roots that are still evident today.

Today, the Zippers continue to tour, performing over three decades of their music to sold-out audiences across the country!

✨ Folk Bitch Trio ✨

Melbourne/Naarm-based Folk Bitch Trio formed five years ago, and its members – Gracie Sinclair (she/her), Jeanie Pilkington (she/her) and Heide Peverelle (they/them) – have been largely inseparable since. Delivering a point of view as undeniable as their songs and voice they pull from traditional forms: in their vocals, in their themes, in their songs’ compositional structures.
Their music comes from the deep connection and collaboration that evolves between the three of them, encapsulating the growing pains they felt as people and a band in their early adult lives, touching on, as Heide says, “loss, fear, s*x, rage, elation but most importantly love and laughs.”

✨ Shadowgrass✨

When their instrumental prowess earned them a vast following on social media, childhood friends turned all-star act Shadowgrass found sudden success. But as a young band, the expectations that went along with a large audience proved daunting. “We felt a lot of pressure to make something uniquely us, because we had such a big following, and we felt that they deserved more than what we had given them as of yet.” explains the band. The group dug deep into their own musicality, and tried to block out the noise for their sophomore release All That Will (release date: Oct 4, 2024). “It turned out that dropping those self-imposed expectations and just writing/making music for our own enjoyment was the key to finding our collective voice and making a record we are all proud of.”

Check out their album All that Will today!
