Asleep at the Reel are a genre hopping Brisbane-ba

Asleep at the Reel are a genre hopping Brisbane-based ensemble equally comfortable with an Irish jig or singalong as they are with a dance hall country shuffle. Yes it’s folk music – but not as we know it Jim! Their original music, powered by the deft songwriting of Mark Cryle, joins the dots between Celtic music and contemporary Australian song - a ‘wonderful melding of Celtic influences and Australian stories’ as another reviewer noted.

On stage he is joined by his wolves, Pascal Roggen and Micheal Young. This pack, with a line up including Violin, Double Bass, Guitar and rich three part vocal harmonies, come together with a massive sound to play everything from your soul-stirring ballads to your ear worming, foot stomping hoe downs.

This captivating group of acoustic musicians' true

This captivating group of acoustic musicians' true purpose is to ignite a fervor for acoustic music. With a touch of old-time radio play and a sprinkle of bohemian gypsies, Avalon Swing will surely captivate your senses.

The band's repertoire is tunes from across the musical world. A repertoire chosen from earlier times, using a mix of vintage acoustic instruments blended with instruments that access the synth sounds.

However, tread cautiously when indulging in their mesmerizing melodies. This small band of performers may mask their true intentions behind a dazzling and uplifting facade. While their performances may elevate your spirit, be aware that they have a knack for diverting your attention with their brilliant vibes. Stay alert and embrace the magical experience that Avalon Swing has in store for you.

Loosen your suspenders, tighten your shoelaces and get ready to flap your extremities! Greshka is a seven piece neo-gypsy/klezmer ensemble not unlike a chipotle and cocaine kebab: you’re not sure where it’s from, but it sure knocks you off your tits. A torn canvas of Romanian gypsy dons a filthy smear of electronica, metal, jazz-funk and classical-arrangement.

Neo-gypsy band Greshka is a peculiar blend of Eastern European folk music, synthesisers and writing music which is deliberately silly. With an entire repertoire of through composed, hyper-energetic music, Greshka attack the concept of fixed genre with an onslaught of eclectic-electric um-pahs and digga-digga- da-digga-digga-das.

Past performances include the National Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Queensland Multicultural Festival, Brisbane Festival, PEAK festival, among others. Greshka has toured interstate several times and has been nominated for a Queensland Music Award.

Megan Cooper’s music is folksy, vintage, alt country. She’s a hip shaking wicked whistler, who’s dodgy ankles led her around the mountain, back to the music of her river village upbringing.

Cooper layers her shows with earthiness, energy and enthusiasm for the art of the story, all with a gleam in her eye. Her music is a deliciously elegant serving of aural sweetness, rooted in the traditions of Americana and Australian Folk story telling.

The Brisbane singer songwriter is a multi Queensland Music Awards finalist and producer of travelling songwriters showcase The Cake and Cordial Sessions and her new show “What Would Dolly Do”.

Born of love, myth and traditional folklore, Day o

Born of love, myth and traditional folklore, Day of Embers is an Australian-based duo of Celtic and global seafaring rhythms interlaced with age-old family tales of love, survival and justice.

Combining the multi- instrumental talents of singer-songwriters, Welshman Daryl James, and Dawn, a bewitching vocalist of Canadian, Irish and Indian descent, DoE weaves spectacular harmonies with banjo, mandolin, slide guitar, autoharp and accordion.

While Daryl and Dawn were born on opposite sides of the globe, their musical roots transcend borders, coming together in a rich tapestry of rousing ballads interwoven with ancestral lore that is inspired by true events. Each of their songs is a chapter of an epic journey featuring two characters whose love prevails. From the cliffs of Derry and mountains of Snowdonia, through battles, storms and treacherous seas, to the wild woods and rocky roads of the Americas, DoE takes the listener on musical adventures that are as lyrically engaging as they are tuneful.

If you’re willing to look past the ‘all hat no

If you’re willing to look past the ‘all hat no cattle’ of it all, odds are Rusty Pickups are coming to a stage near you this year. With 13 appearances at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, intimate headline shows from Bundaberg down to Wollongong in the middle, and a host of new tracks to round it out - 2024 shows no mercy to the band, and none quarter will be requested.

With a new, old time show featuring a host of new tracks, the always amusing four part harmonies, rollicking melodies and downright dirty licks on anything with strings or keys, it’s not exactly business as usual for Rusty Pickups - but business is pretty damn good!

Dennis Duigan picks and hollers songs of broken love, enduring hardship and dark nights of the soul. His tales are woven atop layers of banjo, guitar, bull fiddle and other jangly folk devices. A solid foundation of Americana infused roots-music underpins his lonesome warbles, with live performances including a balance of original material, contemporary Americana and traditional folk songs.

Since bursting on to the Brisbane folk scene over

Since bursting on to the Brisbane folk scene over twenty-five years ago as a solo singer-songwriter at the age of sixteen, Rebecca has gone on to tour overseas as a cellosinger, release various albums with a variety of bands, win some awards, marry a bonny Scotsman, and become a mum.

She returns to Neurum Creek without a new album or any particular fanfare – just her voice, a guitar, a few well-earned grey hairs, and a bunch of heartfelt songs you haven’t heard her sing in ages.
