Jake Howden
To the nonchalant observer Jake Howden would seem to be your average 19 year old, but give him a guitar and an audience to sing to, and something extraordinary soon unfurls. With a dulcet tone that’s been likened to the same sensation as eating Nutella straight from the jar, a distinct vein of decadence runs right through his wholehearted sound, sinking you deeper into your soul.

Direwolf
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Bon Iver, Ben Howard and Tallest Man on Earth. 24 year old Matt Dewar (aka “Direwolf”) is a stout product of the undiscovered indie/folk movement.
“I can hear this being a really special song to a lot of people. It’s filled with some pretty genuine emotion.” – Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J

Leroy Lee
Enchanting songsmith and acoustic guitarist, LEROY LEE creates intimate and hypnotic lamp-lit tunes, drawing the listener into his unique world. From driving guitar riffs to intricate finger-picking melodies, Leroy is reminiscent of English folk legends like Nick Drake and Bert Jansch. His EP “Arcadia“ is an intuitive brew, weaving poetic metaphors around everyday experience, transporting us with intricate melodic textures, surprising us with his turns of phrase and sonically rich guitar landscapes – twisting and turning, leading us on an intimate journey of surprise and intrigue.

Not Good With Horses
A mix of ragged country blues and rockabilly tunes drawing influence from the likes of Neil Young, Gillian Welch, Justin Townes Earle & Townes Van Zandt.

Jack Shit (DJ)
FBi radio rascal and rabid raconteur Jack Shit found his girlfriend at Finders Keepers. She wasn’t cheap – but she’s lasted beautifully!
Julia Jacklin
Originally from the Blue Mountains, Julia Jacklin is a singer/songwriter who’ll put a smile on ya dial, but only for a short while.
“For four minutes I completely forgot about the world. It was all about this song.” – Dom Alessio (Triple j)

DJ Dylabolical
DJ Dylabolical is one of Sydney’s finest purveyors of forgotten nostalgic pop music and upbeat mutli-genre party tunes. He ran the 60’s dance party Twist and Shout for four years from 2010 to 2014 and has also DJ’d everywhere around town including: the Sydney Festival, Black Cherry, Jurassic Lounge, the This Is Not Art Festival, the Gumball festival, Splendour in the Grass and the Underbelly Arts Festival.
Katie Wighton
Sydney-based singer-songwriter Katie Wighton’s artistry defies definition. She’s that rare combination. Intensely musical. Surprisingly original. A solo performer whose fragile beauty and sheer honesty leaves audiences spellbound.
Brian Campeau
As off-putting as Brian may be, he really is a nice guy. Admired for his simple physical beauty, his music is reflective, personal, and quite often intricate. He’s been referred to as both left-of-centre and and a writer with great pop sensibilities. Don’t be put off by his boldness or discomforting sense of humour. His attitude to music is, at it’s core, quite serious.
