Finders Keepers have been behind music and making it a part of our festival-feel weekends since day dot and are so excited to bring you a new Entertainment Program this summer.

There’s something for everyone at Finders Keepers Sydney, including two kids bands; The Vegetable Plot and Avocado Smash! A Finders Keepers must-see is Jo Fabro’s Home Cookin’ who will have everyone toe-tapping, bringing the blues and keeping it soulful on Saturday!

DJ Jack Shit
Jack Shit is the hardest working man in no business: host of the longest-running show on Sydney’s FBi Radio; founding curator of the notorious Tokyo Sing Song; specialist DJ at festivals from Golden Plains to Falls to Splendour; and a highly irregular resident at clubs and venues across Australasia.
Finders is a long-standing family affair for him, having been a resident almost since the outset. Here he weaves whimsical music from disparate sources so as to subliminally soften and deepen the day, hopefully offering something of a romantic respite from our overly-hectic lives.

Lisa Caruso

Unafraid to tell it like it is, Lisa Caruso has gone from strength to strength as an Artist and Musician and was recently named a finalist in the ‘Emerging Artist’ category at The 2019 Australian Women in Music Awards. Known for her unique vocal sound and distinct style of delivery, songs are packed with punch and drenched in raw emotion. 

Fronting a well-oiled band, Lisa has been performing songs from forthcoming debut album ‘In Feelings’, produced by guitarist Benjamin Fletcher (Sarah Blasko, Marina and the Diamonds). There is momentous breadth to Lisa’s catalogue of songs. Sharing relatable experiences, unique as they stand, arrangements hold a nostalgia to 60’s and 90’s indie eras. Sometimes rocking, and sometimes brooding, Lisa protests to first serve the story.

Alice Terry
Alice Terry sounds like she’s had three husbands and killed them all.

“Alice Terry is an undeniable combination of old school chanteuse and the grit of Janis Joplin. Her songs are emotional without being cloying, and pair equal measures regret and lament, with cheek and sass. If the swoops and croons are anything to go by, Terry is a singer equally comfortable howling at the moon for the hell of it as she is walking the line of soul-wrenching honesty.” – The Music

Sparrows
Drawing on sound collage, Sydney artist Sparrows creates electro-pop with a twist, making music using found sounds and manipulated vocals.
With musical influences including Kate Bush, CocoRosie, Lamb and David Bowie, Sparrows’ music goes on a trek from doo-wop on prozac to movie soundtrack exploring textures that fuse with her child-like singing style. Fuelled by material from dreams, eavesdropped conversations and graffiti off public toilet doors, Sparrows works to weave these ideas into her music’s narrative.

Fetherstone
Having just returned from a 4-year stint in London, Fetherstone is planting her seeds back into the Sydney scene. A seasoned jazz vocalist and composer in Australia, Briana’s move to the UK in 2015 sparked a new musical adventure; electro/pop/folk project ‘Fetherstone’. Named after her 95-year-old artistic grandmother, Fetherstone was born in London and has seen Briana release a debut EP, 2 singles and she is now writing and producing the project’s second EP. Briana dove into the loop pedal / beats machine world while living in London and developed a solo show, which she’s been performing in London, Sydney, Prague and Brno for the last 3 years.
The next single “Jackson”, due out Christmas 2019, was written while Bri was alone in London on Christmas day 2 years ago. The song is about longing to be with family and doubting the decision to live half way across the world from the people you cherish.
