Headline: Duxie Franklin
Alt-folk/pop singer-songwriter, Duxie Franklin, has been hailed as “one of the country’s most unique and exciting emerging acts” (Happy Magazine Blog).
Effortlessly combining elements of Pop, Indie, Alternative and Folk, Duxie’s quirky and catchy melodies draw frequent comparisons to legends such as Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Björk and Gillian Welch.
Fourth Support: Maxwell Brady
Maxwell Brady is a psychedelic pop troubadour hailing from Geelong with a catchy collection of nuggets, ranging from slow and steady folk rock tunes to straight up Who-style rock and roll, all bound together by a unique take on pop sensibilities.
Third Support: Matilda Duncan
Hailing from Far North-Queensland, Matilda Duncan is a young singer/songwriter who combines indie, folk and alternative pop-rock with relatable & honest lyricism.
Having already supported some of Aus indie's most iconic acts (Ruby Fields, Kim Churchill, The Rubens, Vera Blue), Matilda's sound is ever-evolving. Recently re-locating to Melbourne, it's only up from here.
Second support: Cecile Gardens
Cécile Gardens is a 23-years-old country singer-songwriter from The Netherlands. Her unique blend of country sounds and contemporary themes creates a musical experience which makes you feel like you are in Nashville. With her band she will bring the Christmas spirit and show how cool country music is!
Opening support: Louis
Oscillating between millennial earnestness and gen-z irony with an inescapable optimistic base is Louis, a local Melbourne singer-songwriter. His tracks are awash with layers of introspective indie-folk, pure pop sensibilities and rebellious alt rock; marrying infectious hooks with odd individuality.
