Discover the heartfelt melodies and soulful lyrics of this extraordinary Nipaluna/Hobart based acoustic singer-songwriter. Having already made waves in her hometown, Willow is an exceptional artist well worth getting to the Festival Hub early for.
Willow Nischler("Kay-Low") is a Lutruwita/Tasmanian born singer-songwriter of harmony laden alt-rock and folk music. A former member of local bands Little Island and Lune River, he has since gone on to release his debut EP 'Something New' in November 2022 - opening for the likes of Teenage Dads and picking up the Cygnet Folk Festival’s ‘Best Young Performer’ award along the way.
CaeloAre your neighbours in short shorts and sneakers asking risque questions over the picket fence? Then put your washing machine on a rhythmic, beckoning spin cycle and unashamedly crank the radio through your flyscreen window. NH are a 10-legged dancing machine with vocal pizzaz, leaning on synth with the happy wobble of a stilettoed aunty drunk on Facebook likes. Instrumental daydreams are carried off by dusky guitars and maraca shakes that will suck the cheezels right off your fingers.
Nice HouseQueenie; the trash queen alter-ego of Melbourne musician Eloise Thetford (ex Héloise, Bone Shack, and Badgers), is a fearless performer who wears her heart on her sleeve. Her live shows shake, shudder and smoulder with fiery charisma and freewheeling stagecraft when she’s performing with her band; a Rogues’ gallery of Melbourne’s finest musicians. Beneath all the sizzle, though, is a unique and powerful voice: tender one moment and visceral the next, Queenie can soar from Emmy-Lou Harris to Mariah Carey at the drop of a hat, launching her deeply emotive songwriting into the stratosphere like a rocket strapped to a Cadillac.
QueenieA place of musical exploration and expression, FFLORA presents a journey into group improvisation. The ever-evolving ensemble takes inspiration from jazz, folk, free improv, sick beats, collisions of sounds, failures, glory, poetry, and synergy. Each time the group performs together it is truly unique. Be prepared to experience uplifting, unsteady, un-conforming utters of unreal music.
Performing virtuosic and original music inspired by tropical jungles, late night discos, 1960's chic, and shamanistic desert rituals. The balance of three guys and three girls captivates audiences with exclamatory trumpet; hedonistic violins and organ; deeply pulsating drums and bass; wild psychedelic electric guitar; and a rich smearing of harmonised singing (and wailing) thrown on top. The band has its roots in the wildness of late-night Melbourne pub music with the sophistication of jazz and classical performance, and the danceability of tropical rhythms and hard-partying disco beats.
