Event information

ED BARNES

Ed Barnes is a mid-wave Australian singer-songwriter, with songs that are inspired by his everyday five senses, his natural sense of storytelling would be his sixth. Often timid and observant in person, yet happy to sing out his feelings off his rooftop, his charismatic performances never offer disappointment.

His debut album "Hey, Noel" is due for release in late 2022, recorded and produced in a Blue Mountains solar powered studio by Chris Gillespie and mastered by famed punk troubadour Frank Turner.

BLAKE CATERIS

With three solo singles under his belt, Blake Cateris releases his fourth solo single, Concentrate.

Australian Sydneysider, Blake Cateris fuses the genres of folk singer-songwriter, with his punk music background and has a musical resume that many dream of, having shared the stage with the likes of CJ Ramone, Bodyjar, Hard-Ons, Gyroscope, 28 Days and The Getaway Plan, as well as holding a nine-year residency at the iconic Frankie’s Pizza By The Slice.

Cateris is turning over a new leaf with his folk inspired singer-songwriter solo project, drawing inspiration from the writings of songwriters that connect at the core of the soul, such as Frank Turner, Butch Walker, Dave Hause and Laura Jane Grace, and fusing the stories with the honesty of real-life events.

JESS SILK

Jess Silk is a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her shouty but melodic brand of folk/punk music often has her being likened to a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and it gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravely voice that many don’t expect, Jess plays to audiences up and down the UK.

MATT JOHNSON

Matt Johnson is a Midlands based Singer / songwriter who really wears his heart on his sleeve at the same times as completely captivating his audience.
His subjects range from his family and the love of his life through to his view of the world now and his opinion on the plight of the oceans and our wildlife. He has a fantastic ear for melody and bulids a hook into every song that has his audience singing back at him by the second chorus. Equally at home alone on stage with his acoustic guitar and trusty onion or supported by his super tight band, The Reprobates.
