Rufous Whistler
Hailing from Northeast Victoria (Wiradjuri Country), Rufous Whistler blends raw storytelling with modern alt-country flair. Their heartfelt songs and dynamic live shows—featuring guitars, twin fiddles, mandolin, and harmony-rich vocals—have earned national airplay, AMRAP chart success, and earned the hearts of audiences across Australia. In 2025, they’ll release their debut album National Panic and embark on an extensive tour across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Europe.

Tim Woodz & The Dirty Shoes
Like a Jazz crooning, folk rocker at an Aussie BBQ, Tim Woodz makes up songs with interesting stories. His music is uplifting, clever and nostalgic which has landed him in the folk festival circuit since 2012 and touring with iconic performer Tex Perkins. Tim grew up in Gippsland Victoria, being inspired by his parents who’d perform in the local folk club, Tim started creating punk inspired folk songs or perhaps the other way around as teenager, which led him to write in a lyrically naïve style and produced nostalgic and very clever songs about trees, possums, laundromats and everything in between. Along with some amazingly heartfelt songs for his Daughter. Tim plays Acoustic Guitar, Banjo, Uke and Harmonica, with a style to make your feet tap, and your cheeks hurt from laughing.

Mandy Connell
Mandy Connell’s arresting presence is what stands out. Singer and guitarist, she is popular for her writing, and loved for her stagecraft, but it’s her breadth of passion for the broader ‘folk’ genre which makes her unusual in Australia. A songwriter with a guitar, Connell has an edge more reminiscent of Margaret Roadknight or Norma Waterson than of Kate Bush or Joni Mitchell.

Khristian Mizzi
Khristian Mizzi, awarded the 2021 Australian Folk Alliance ‘Solo Artist of the Year,’ is widely recognised as one of the country’s finest folk voices. With a vocal delivery that’s truly unforgettable, Mizzi weaves beauty and honesty into his lyrics. His distinctive picking style and emotive storytelling have earned him a reputation for deeply intimate solo performances.
Together they are captivating and definitely not to be missed.
