Lloyd Spiegel & Band
Fourteen-time Australian Blues Award winner Lloyd Spiegel began performing at age 10 and has spent a lifetime redefining the blues for new generations. With ten albums and an international touring schedule spanning North America, Europe, New Zealand, and Japan, Spiegel is one of Australia’s most celebrated guitarists and a true pioneer of the genre.Joined by Tim Burnham (drums) and Lisa Baird (trombone), this powerhouse trio delivers a unique, genre-bending performance that fuses raw emotion, creative instrumentation, and jaw-dropping musicianship.

Julian James & Becky Kate
Bringing the high-energy sounds of Americana and hill-country blues, Julian James & Becky Kate mix whiskey-drenched fiddle, bass, and drums into a spirited southern sound. Their music takes audiences on a journey from the smoky juke joints of Mississippi to the honky-tonks of Tennessee and the porches of Appalachia.
Known from festivals like Woodford Folk Festival, Blues on Broadbeach, and Melbourne Blues Music Festival, the duo has fast become a must-see live act.“Blues intertwined with the twang of country and upbeat notes of a more contemporary sound.” – Sophie Barker, Forte Magazine 

Kathleen Halloran
Emerging as one of Australia’s most compelling new artists, Kathleen Halloran commands the stage with fiery guitar work and heartfelt songwriting. Combining the spirit of the golden-era guitar slingers with a bold modern edge, Halloran delivers a live experience that’s both ferocious and deeply emotional.“Kathleen is one of those rare finds.” – Darren Middleton, Powderfinger “A true modern-day artist with captivating stories to tell.” – Tania Doko
