Jordie Lane With his unique take on finger style guitar, blues harmonica and a commanding voice,Melbournes Jordie Lane is a story telling folk/country songwritter with everything from rollicking western murder tales to lovesick acoustic ballards. Eleanor McEvoy Eleanor McEvoy is one of Irelands leading female singer/songwriters. Respected as a fine multi-instrumentalist in both traditional and contemporary music, she is best known for writing "Only A Woman's Heart", the title track of an anthology album that's gone on to be the best selling recording in Irish History. Another song "Sophie" about a girl suffering anorexia has become an internet phenomenon with over 1,500,000 hits on YouTube. Her song "All I Have" features in a recent series of the HBO cult series "Six Feet Under". Eleanor's strong Irish accent adds to her renditions of her quirky, perceptive songs, ranging from love ballads and story-telling to left-of-centre takes on the vagaries of life. Her last album "Love Must be Tough" recorded in SACD format, won HI-FI Album of The Year 2008. Tinpan Orange Brother/Sister duo Jesse and Emily Lubitz, write with flare about the poetics of the everyday uncanny. Accompanied by virtuoso musician Alex Burkoy on violin, electric mandolin and guitar, expect to hear a delicate presentation of original songs, binding the momentary with the eternal and the playful with the wretched. Ego Lemos Ego Lemos is a remarkable man, with a remarkable voice in more ways than one. Regarded as a significant East Timorese community member, Ego has lived through three tumultuous periods of his nation's history. He has interpreted and modernised some of the most beautiful and heart-wrenching traditional melodies from his nation's history, and produced a wreath of original songs in the Nation's lingua-franca, Tetum. He sings about issues such as the centrality of water to life, praises the nation's peasant farmers in their unceasing toil, and urges his people to remain positive and strive for unity. Ego Lemos' poignant, subliminally strong debut solo album 'O Hele Le' gradually penetrates the psyche where his voice remains for some time after. Ego Lemos demonstrates a great intimacy and connection with songwriting and his album highlights the tremendous talent he has to offer Indigenous music in Australia, and indeed, the world. the Yabu Band Since beginning at the age of five, multi talented brothers, Delson and Boyd Stokes, known today as 'The Yabu Band', have created a powerful, unique sound aptly described as Desert Rock/Reggae. Mama Kin Mama Kin releases her bittersweet melodies with stomping piano rhythm and swampy beats, all the while seamlessly traversing the riotous, the raw and the intimate. "Tore My Heart Out" was the first single from the debut album BEAT AND HOLLER (out mid 2010) and struck a chord with the folks at ITUNES and RAGE, being named Single of the Week and Indie Clip of the week. This track promises to be the horn blower of an exciting album release, with an impressive line up of festivals jumping on board to showcase MAMA KIN across the country, including East Coast and West Coast Blues and Roots, Darwin Festival, Mullum Festival, Woodford, Peats Ridge and WOMAD. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see Mama Kin perform in an intimate setting.
