Nick Weinert sings country songs. Others call it Americana or roots country and you can take your pick. Whether singing his own songs or those of his favourite artists, he has a fascination for themes of sin. His singing is often personal and explicit, and always loud. He's been in a few local combos, including the Westerlies. But lately he is joined by his band, The Gentlemen, who are all better musicians than he. And he likes it that way. |

Chanel Lucas Warm, pure vocals and gentle folk guitar are Chanel's signature sound. Her music allows you to stop and take a breath, and enjoy the moments outside of the busy day-to-day. A writer and songwriter, she has travelled across the world with Brisbane folk-pop act 'women in docs'. Recently, she has been learning to play the ukulele and writing songs for a solo project. Her band includes fabulous performers such as Mark Cryle (Spot the Dog, The Redeemers) and Tom Roberts (Little Creatures) and features Chanel's sensitive songwriting and poignant vocals. [website] |

Jumping Fences: the song-writing partnership of Lachlan Hurse and Sue Monk, will be playing their energetic folk, tinged with Cuban flavours. They will be playing with Dan Simpson, Ross Gwyther and Robbie Stewart. Their original works contain imagery and styles that reveal both an incisive insight into Australian life and a long association with Latin American culture [website]. |
