Doggerel burst from the kennel and onto the stage to flog their special brand of bung blues, roughhouse rock, and sundry sad tunes about drinking, dishonour, and death. Based around the steel guitar and drums of founding members Kier Stevens and John Kostaras, Doggerel always keep a tight focus on looseness, ratbaggery, and having a rollicking good time. Throw in some bass, saxophone, and a shot or two, and things are really starting to look up for you. Every Doggerel show is a cheerfully irreverent affront to blues tradition that will leave your ears in even better condition.

In 2021 Nir presented his work About Whales in collaboration with Invictus Quartet. Together they have played two headline shows - at the Wesley Anne and Melbourne Recital Centre - both sold

On a hot humid summers day in mid August in 1962 in downtown Memphis, not far from the muddy Missippissi river, JoJo Rainwater burst on to the scene. His parents Bobby Jo and Olivia S. Belle grew up in the same area and even attended Humes Highschool at the same time as Elvis Presley. JoJo's mother remembers being able to record her own little record for 50 cents at the public recording booth, just around the corner from Sun records in the 1950's.

JoJo's family was plum steeped in Gospel, Blues, and old timey appalachian folk music which they sang along to during gatherings and summer fish fries.

Jo Jo's biggest influence came from his up-bringing and his families love for music and the new double album is now out there

For nearly fifteen years, country-soul-indie-rockers Duncan Graham And His Co-Accused have been visiting stages around Daylesord and Hepburn. They've also delivered three original albums, a bangin' video and loads and loads of mood-and-genre-hopping live shows.

This spring and summer, the band is on a break, so Duncan has gathered up his exceptional violinist Jan Palethorpe for a bunch of duo shows around Melbourne and the regions. Expect the same soulful and poetic epics for which the band is known, but delivered in a way that shows off the tenderness and elegance that lives within.

Duncan Graham and Jan Palethorpe are thrilled to be back in Daylesford for one early evening free show on Saturday, November 18 - if you like music within craft and depth, delivered with all wire and no net, then you will not be disappointed. See you all there.

The importance of the melody and the beat in the songs keeps the songs moving in a way that is captivating, unique and soulful. He has performed at Home bake festival in Sydney, the Melbourne Fringe festival and has supported act such as Kim Salmon and Hugo Race. You will not see a performer like him.

Singer-songwriter Riley Pearce returns with new single ‘How Will I Know’, a song about the duality of the excitement and struggle of big changes in life.

“When you’re a kid you think your parents have everything figured out, but that illusion fades away as you grow up and realise they were probably just as clueless as you were,” says Riley.

To celebrate the new release and a forthcoming body of work, Riley is bringing his intimate solo show across Australia this November.

Special guests will be announced soon and tickets are on sale now.

Presented by Four Tone Artists and Lemon Tree Music.

With a few stories, an old guitar and kick drum, Tony J King creates the music of a journeyman with roots in the street-corner blues and urban folk of yesteryear. With influences ranging from James Elroy, Edgar Allen Poe, Homer, Kerouak and Joseph Conrad, King's latest album delivers slow-burnin, low-fi urban myths, half-truths, dark gospel and random fascinations that are represented in quirky musical tales honed from a pre-occupation with the unusual, the exotic and the downright bizarre.
