Indigie Femme are one of the most 'dynamic female indigenous duos' to hit the music scene. Creative forces merge when the Northern and Southern Hemipheres come together through songs in stories. Tash Terry born and raised on the Navajo Nation and Elena Higgins born in New Zealand of the Maori and Samoan heritage are the powerful musical duo, Indigie Femme. A twist of world beats lavish the acoustic folk duo who tap into their indigenous roots. Their magical weavings and matrilineal cultures, magnified with their powerful voices, combines thought-provoking, uplifting traditional and original compositions. [website] |

Yellow Bird is the combined fun of Francesca Lejeune, Pete Lehmann, Tony Moore and Geoff Smith. They're locally flavoured originals are mellowed by harmonies and ukuleles, combined with various instruments. They sing songs of flooded river systems, parasitic love, circus, and communities of timber and tin. |

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]. |
