With exciting new music currently in the works, Pete Murray continues to cement his place as one of the country’s most iconic artists.

From their inception, The Waifs traversed Australia playing every small town with a local paper, a local radio station, a pub or hall that would host live music, and someone willing to listen, of which there were many! Constant touring laid a broad foundation, musical chemistry, and an approachable relatability through their lyrics solidified a lifelong, dedicated fan base.

The original independent avant-garde folk heroes turned multiplatinum-selling, multiple ARIA Award-winning, international touring outfit have released eight LPs, self-titled The Waifs(1996), Shelter Me(1998) and Sink or Swim(2000), Up All Night(2003), Sun Dirt Water(2007), Temptation(2011), Beautiful You(2015) and Ironbark(2017), and two live albums A Brief History(2004) and Live From the Union Of Soul(2009).

The Waifs have headlined countless festivals stages and sold-out tours across the globe, opening or the likes of the legend himself, Bob Dylan. The Waifs continue to forge a proudly independent path30 years on and show no sign of slowing down. Donna Simpson, Vikki Thorn, and Josh Cunningham (with ever faithful and long-standing rhythm section of David Ross Macdonald and Ben Franz on board as usual) continue to share their folk-infused, feel-good sounds with adoring, now multi generation.

As The Eskies, Eskimo Joe, enter their 28th year, there are no signs of slowing down. With their latest single ‘The First Time’ gaining huge radio support nationwide and the band continuing to remain one of Australia’s favourite live bands, EJ are still as vital as ever.

While successfully straddling the line between commercial success and managing to keep their Alternative Music roots secure, over their career, Eskimo Joe have racked up a long list of impressive accomplishments. With 6 studio albums under their belts and sales in excess of 750,000, in Australia alone, the band has seen 3 of those albums debut at number 1 on the ARIA charts, with juggernaut ‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’ shining for a monster 62 weeks in the ARIA Chart Top 50 and “Foreign Land”, from their fourth album ‘Inshalla’, bringing home 2 APRA Awards, for Most Played Rock Song on Australian radio and Best Rock Song of 2010.

Eskimo Joe’s countless worldwide shows, 6 studio albums, 35 ARIA nominations for 7 wins and nearing 1 million records sold are among the plethora of achievements that the band continues to add to. Fans of the band can look forward to new music releases and live shows in the coming year.

Over the years, her live performances have evolved, enchanting listeners with an updated, raw, and unapologetic style. With no qualms about expressing her true self and thoughts, Siobhan has become a prolific songwriter, establishing herself as one of Western Australia’s best exports.

Siobhan defies her young age of 24 with a magnetic stage presence that commands attention and ignites the crowd. Fearlessly expressing herself through raw and authentic lyrics, she strikes a deep emotional chord with her listeners, decoding the intricacies of human relationships with ease. Siobhan’s jangly luminous melodies intertwine with her storytelling lyrics, transporting the audience into a captivating realm of introspective self-discovery.

Forming in early 2023, Hazel have burst on to the scene with their energetic – yet groovy live shows. Debuting at Perth’s finest, ‘Indi Bar’, the band have gone on to play some awesome shows and look to continue their fast start with festivals and big support slots to end what has been a crazy few years!
