Andrew Winton makes a welcome return, conjuring up everything from sophisticated blues groans to intricate celtic-influenced melodies on his 13 stringed, double neck, Alabama cypress tree root lap-slide beast (The Lucky 13). His humour, musicianship, eclectic influences & styles, suburban song-stories, vocal shenanigans and award-winning songs have all contributed to Andrew gaining fans locally and internationally over the years.

It’s no surprise that the prestigious Black Rose Acoustic Society in Colorado USA describes Australian guitarist, Nick Charles, as “a world class stylist and composer”.

Her Middle Eastern heritage is what makes her style unique, but her voice is what will catch your attention first. Weaving mesmerising harmonies, she confesses wrong doing, observes relationships and tells stories with a rare honesty.

Liz first crossed paths with Robbie in a rural Victorian café in 2013 and soon they were seeking out opportunities to play together.
