Sasha March

Sasha March, singer-songwriter-guitarist delivers unique vocal-driven gutsy indie folk. Her alluring stage presence, emotive lyrics and gorgeous voice captivate audiences.

As well as being a mesmerising solo performer, Sasha fronts her 4-piece band currently based in Adelaide, South Australia.

Following the release of her EP in 2014 and Album in 2015, she has played a consistent string of shows through Australia and in 2016 toured solo in the Netherlands and Germany where she'll return this year.

She has shared the stage with Ken Stringfellow USA, (The Posies, R.E.M.) supported Kristen Hersh, USA (Throwing Muses, 50 Foot Wave), Mat McHugh (The Beautiful Girls), Ella Hooper (Killing Heidi) joined lineups at Gorgeous Festival Australia and Handpicked Festival with Xavier Rudd and The Waifs, The Veronicas, Killing Heidi, British India and The Potbelleeze.

With plans to record a new single not too far off, you can expect something a little different from her last releases, though no doubt upholding those warm soulful vocals and raw tales her loyal following have come to love from her songwriting.

Matt J Ward & The Rising Sons

Raw Emotion. Landscaped Stories. Catchy Hooks. Matt J Ward is an Australian singer-songwriter delivering a soulful blend Australian Alt-Country, Red Dirt and Americana music.

Steeped in gritty tales of life in remote Australia, travels across America and love lost and found, Matt brings an astounding authenticity to songwriting that elevates him as a staple in the Australian Americana and Country Music scene. 

Matt’s debut solo EP, recorded live to tape at the famous MixMasters Studio, draws comparisons with Neil Murray, Shane Howard, Corb Lund and Sturgill Simpson.

From his rich vocals, strong story telling and outstanding songwriting, Matt delivers snippets of Nashville, the drive of late 70s Australian rock and provokes imagery of heart-worn highways and west Texan dive bars.

And Matt's live shows capture all that you would expect from someone so connected to his songwriting, from poignant intimate dive bar shows to the warmth of his talented five piece band, The Rising Sons.
