Front Porch’s musical style is bluegrass heavy, keeping that traditional sound but including elements of western swing, Dixieland jazz, ragtime and folk into their music. The Melbourne band guarantee a fascinating show full of catchy tunes and impressive musicality.

Phil Coyne and The Wayward Aces bring the raw intensity of Chicago blues together with rockabilly swing and garage surf drive, delivering a sound both powerful and infectious.

Hats and boots optional; a Damn'd Sam & The Preachers show is not about the size of your belt buckle or the love of a plaid Western shirt: you’ll be in fine company when you come just as you are. Enjoy Americana-styled electrified country boogie.

A quartet of expressive songwriters that take their four-part harmonies as seriously as they take their dedication to a good time, Green Mohair Suits (Brian Campeau, Richard Cuthbert, Jason Mannell, Ben Romalis) hold a reputation for inspired showmanship and performances as brash as they are emotive.

Occupying a broad musical landscape somewhere between Gram Parsons, Beck, Buddy Holly and The Beach Boys, Green Mohair Suits’ style basks in the glow of their self-coined glow of “Garage-grass”. There's classic 60s pop, a dash of reggae, bluegrass, indie folk and country in their combined songwriting styles – their voices and musicianship the glue that seamlessly surrounds their songs of heartbreak and hangover, humour and humility.
