Described by ABC National as “The real deal,” folk/blues guitarist and songwriter Luke Watt is set to release his third album Wild Graces.

Despite the many experiences of touring his last album Hill End Ruin throughout Europe and the U.S in 2012/2013, Luke Watt’s new record is inspired by stories based much closer to home. 

Wild Graces is a collection of songs inspired by, written and recorded in his new home of Central Victoria. The record was then mixed by long-time collaborator Nick Huggins (Jen Cloher, Skipping Girl Vinegar). 
Luke’s folk and blues guitar playing bring stories of failed gold diggers, small town tragedies and feuds between cranky old men. 

Wild Graces is an album from a touring artist who set up a home and found stories worth telling.


Little Wise is songwriter Sophie Klein, who has been turning heads and melting hearts. Cutting loose with Rosie Burgess (bass) and Pam Zaharias (drums), Little Wise fuses Indie Folk-Rock with a damn good dose of Melbourne swagger.
Little Wise is revelling in the release of her sophomore album ‘Want it All’. Recorded at The Aviary Studios, 'Want it All' traverses a classic pop-rock sonic landscape. These songs are shorter and sharper, weaving hook-laden mantras to shrug off self-doubt and inner demons with a rising tide of guitar and back bone of a bouncing bass drum. SCENSTR have described the first single as sitting “somewhere between the growl of PJ Harvey and simmering tension of The Velvet Underground”.

The new album follows her 2016 release ‘Silver Birch’ which was featured on PBS and RRR and won ‘Best Debut Release’ in the Rhythms Magazine Writers’ Poll.  Little Wise has performed at the famous Bluebird cafe in Nashville and showcased in New York City. She has also toured widely back home in Australia, with festival appearances at Nannup, Tamworth, Mount Beauty, St Kilda Live ’n Local and more. She has supported the likes of Frazey Ford (CAN), The Audreys and Dan Parsons.

Todd’s emotive lyrics, earthy tones and raw appeal connect to a wide variety of listeners. His songs float from intricate folk fingerpicking styles to driving rhythms that stir the soul. His stories of Australian landscapes and people are accompanied with mesmerising didgeridoo and a depth that always engages and entertains.  
Todd Cook has three studio releases; ‘So Long’ (2008), ‘Hunting Ground’ (2010) and Brilliant Green (2012). Drawing inspiration from both the lush green fields of Gippsland where he grew up, and the rich, remote areas of the Northern Territory that have become a second home. Each song reveals a meeting place for sounds, techniques and lyrics that connect north to south, remote to mainstream, and traditional to contemporary. His music takes the audience on a journey from dark turbulent songs, witnessed firsthand when Todd was living in a remote Northern Territory community, to lively acoustics of joy and celebration.
