Bush Gothic with Celeste Willoughby
2024-07-05 19:30 - 23:00 | Selby Community House, 1 Minak Road, Selby , 3159, Australia
TICKETS
Bush Gothic wander through the dankest, weirdest corners of the trad song books and emerge as post modern slash anti establishment slash folk feminists. Are they outsiders, lurking on the cultural fringe?
Or have they penetrated to the inner core of Australian identity? They won the Australian Folk Music 2022 Award for Best Band, are multiple Best Music Award winners at The Adelaide Fringe and received FIVE STARS from the BBC Music Magazine.
With a 5 Star review in BBC Music Magazine and Roots Album of the Year Runner Up, this daring trio have toured their modern imaginings of traditional Australian songs across the world.
Band leader Jenny M. Thomas began her career as a classical violist before taking up touring as a fiddle-singer and Indian Karnatic violinist. Exposure to Australian folk music on the festival circuit compelled her to begin a bush band of her own, but one that would shake up the folkocracy by focusing on the female story and including a defiantly modern aesthetic to these achingly old songs.

2024-08-02 19:30 - 22:30 | Selby Community House, 1 Minak Road, Selby , 3159, Australia
TICKETS
You’d be forgiven for thinking that you’d turned up to a fancy dress event at a Michael Waugh show – one where the theme is red and black checked flannelette shirts. “The Grateful Dead might have die-hard fans called ‘Deadheads’,” observed Canadian Folk Singer Scott Cook at a recent show with Michael, struck by a sea of these working man’s tops on a warm Queensland evening, “but Michael Waugh’s shows are swarming with ‘Waugh-heads.’”
Since his 2016 debut, Waugh has released three albums of deeply relatable, emotional story songs based on characters and events from around his home town of Maffra in Eastern Victoria. Fans of the singer-songwriter have rusted on to his uniquely Australian narrative style – and they proudly wear the red and black checked shirt as a sign of their connectedness – uniformed members of team Waugh.
Inspired by the Waugh-heads, Michael has kept evolving his storytelling style – painting evocative pictures of ordinary Australians, whose lives are celebrated in Waugh’s songs.

Moonshine Coalition
Formed in early 2015 by Max Lees and Annie Dixon and with the 2023 addition of Geoff Stokes, Moonshine Coalition perform an intoxicating fusion of Americana and Australian Frontier Music.
The trio has a strong focus on intricate 3-part vocal harmonies, which, together with Max’s National Resonator slide guitar, Annie’s crisp fingerpicking banjo style and Geoff’s mellow double bass, produce an original and enthralling sound.
They have received enthusiastic responses from audiences in Australia, Nashville and Berlin, who love their energy and passion.
With Max’s music and Annie’s lyrics, Moonshine Coalition write songs with inspiration from Australia’s past, blended with events from their own lives. Their inventive songs can make their audiences both laugh and cry.

Tig
‘Undoubtedly one of Australia’s greatest up and coming songwriters’ – Women In Pop
Fresh off being awarded the Global Emerging Songwriter prize in the prestigious Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition, Mornington Peninsula songwriter Tig is carving out a reputation for vividly relatable songwriting that cuts deep while staying playful.
Following a debut EP labelled ‘unbelievable’ by Forte Mag (Inside Voices, 2024), Tig partnered with coveted ARIA-nominated producer Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy) to craft a huge collection of emotionally charged indie-pop anthems, sonically bigger and bolder than anything she’s made before.
Living in the messy space between fear and courage, self-protection and expression, Tig’s work draws inspiration from her singer-songwriter idols while channeling a nostalgic edge reminiscent of her 90s/00s upbringing.
Alongside praise from Women In Pop, Beat Magazine, AIR, PBS, Triple R and Triple J Unearthed, Tig has steadily built a reputation as a compelling live performer, supporting artists including Kim Churchill, Pierce Brothers, Ainslie Wills, Flynn Gurry, Maddy May, The McCredie Brothers and Grace Woodroofe. With a string of new releases unfolding throughout 2026, she’s quickly emerging as one of Australia’s most exciting new songwriters.

Tom Riccioni
Tom Riccioni is a creative force, matching elegant instrumentals with lyrics reflecting on love, loss, and connection. A prolific songwriter hailing from Naarm/Melbourne, Tom’s folk-leaning material takes cues from the likes of Bon Iver, José González, Lucio Battisti, and his Italian ancestry.
Tom Riccioni has now released his debut EP “Warm Habit” which was produced and mixed by Australia folk luminary Dustin Tebbutt and mastered by ARIA Award-winning engineer, producer and musician Josh Schuberth.

Alana & Alicia
Alanna & Alicia are twin sisters who blend folk, jazz and roots in their original, acoustic songs.
Known for their sweet
harmonies and fine song writing, they have captivated audiences from the National Folk Festival, Canberra to Fairbridge, Western Australia with their warmth, wit and sense of fun.
As identical twins, they have a rich, intuitive vocal blend, creating the kind of magical harmonies that are unique to siblings.
Think The Waifs, The Andrews Sisters. Their lyrics, equal parts heart and humour, sparkle with an original, intimate voice that is rare in songwriters today.

Tim Woodz
The wandering Tim Woodz has spent the last four years on a non-stop tour, hitting festivals and intimate shows along the east coast, becoming somewhat of a songwriter’s songwriter in the folk music scene.
“Fragile yet bold, effervescent yet muted, the music swells with emotion and intimacy. It’s the perfect way to leave a budding audience satisfied, yet in desperate need of more.” — Melbourne’s Beat Magazine.
Tim’s performances are enigmatic, with songs backed by acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica and cassette tapes, all delivered with sharp comedic timing, raw tunes, and an energy that’s equal parts heart and chaos.

With international airplay, a gripping live show, and a strong grassroots fan base from their love of being on the road, the band’s blend of folk and alt-country is resonating deeply with audiences.
Hailing from Northeast Victoria (Wiradjuri Country), Rufous Whistler combines raw storytelling with modern alt-country arrangements, reminiscent of I’m With Her’s harmonies, Gillian Welch’s storytelling, and the energy of Trampled by Turtles.
This is alt-country music that hits home and leaves you wanting more.

Comprising Irish flute, guitar, piano and bodhrán, they blend rollicking reels with slow wistful airs, with an emphasis on original composition.
