Kristina Olsen

Katrina is one of the most entertaining and compelling performers on the international folk circuit. A superb multi-instrumentalist (acoustic guitar, steelbody slide guitar, saxophone, concertina and piano) as well as an award-winning
songwriter with a big bluesy voice, Kristina has audiences around the world coming back for more. Her mix of powerful songs ranging from sassy bottleneck blues to lilting ballads to swing jazz to raunch and roll (as well as her hilarious storytelling) makes for a diverse and satisfying musical experience, on stage and on disc.

Alanna & Alicia

Twin sister singer/songwriters Alanna & Alicia have charmed audiences from Port Fairy to the National FF with their own special blend of folk/jazz/roots songs, their onstage warmth and humor, and their beautiful new album, ‘Two in a Book'.
Known for their fine songwriting and sweet harmonies, both girls have won several awards at national festivals and been finalists in the Australian Songwriting Awards on several occasions.
Their band features fine guitarist Damien Neil and the talented Michelle Meehan on violin.
'deliciously idiosyncratic and saucy songs...wry, frank observations of life and love…quality quirky lyrics delivered with verve and the kind of close harmonies you'd expect from sisters…consummate backing.'

Munro, O'Callaghan, Titchener

Three of Adelaide’s premier folk musicians have banded together to bring a new talent-filled trio to the acoustic music scene.
John Munro, Mike O’Callaghan and Pete Titchener, all well respected musicians in their own right, are on a musical journey making a new sound for themselves.
It was internationally successful folk band Colcannon that brought these musicians together. After 21 years of harmonies Colcannon put down their instruments only to be picked up again a short while later by three good friends: Munro, O’Callaghan and Titchener.
Those familiar with the work of Eric Bogle would also be familiar with his guitarist of 35 years, John Munro. John continues to spread his musical talent with this trio as well as performing with Bogle and, together with Mike O’Callaghan, Australia’s longest running (original line-up) Bluegrass band, Country Express.
Pete Titchener can also be seen on stage with Eric Bogle and as a regular accompanist to Maria Forde, not to mention his ‘behind the scenes’ work producing demos for the up and coming generation of acoustic musicians.
But these are not just highly respected, talented musicians. Each member also brings with him an impressive catalogue of original songs and arrangements.
That leaves one final element that comes together on stage. The chemistry between the three ‘old boys’ spills out into the audience and it’s the atmosphere of a Munro, O’Callaghan and Titchener that has people talking long after the performance is over.

TREACHERY.. MURDER.. CRIMINAL WOMEN !
BUSH GOTHIC

With her atmospheric re-workings of Australian Folk songs, Jenny M Thomas creates a genre all to herself. As the title implies, Bush Gothic is Australian history, darkly told.
"Frankly wars could have exploded, governments imploded, revolutions sparked and faded, Shane Warne could have proposed, the trains could have run on time. I have been deaf to it all. Who do I have to thank for this interregnum?"

Melbourne trio, Jenny M. Thomas and The System. Bush Gothic takes your breath away. It's a work bold, inspired and beautiful in its intensity. Thomas, plus two, have taken the foundations of a folk library and built a new architecture.' National Times

Nigel Wearne

Nigel is an alt-country/folk singer-songwriter whose music has an intimate and poignant narrative.

With a hint of Bob Dylan and influences including Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt and the spirit of Woody Guthrie, Nigel Wearne tells stories of mischievous bank robbers, wandering poets and his love of eggs.
Nigel has performed at various music festivals including the Port Fairy Folk Festival, Tablelands Folk Festival, Gulgong Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival and the Mount Beauty Music Festival. In his debut performance at The Singing Gallery, Nigel will be performing tracks from his current album 'Sweetest Delusion'.
