Blain Cunneen

A stalwart of the Sydney/Eora music scene, singer/songwriter and producer Blain Cunneen has long been recognised for his versatility and innovation. With roots in jazz, songwriting, and sonic experimentation, Cunneen has carved a unique space in Australias musical landscape, contributing to a wide array of projects over the years. Since his last release, The Prizes We Demand, Blain has maintained a busy schedule behind the scenes, working on production and sideman duties for some of Australias most exciting artists such as Julia Jacklin, Beryl, Georgia Mulligan, and Human Noise.

Amongst all this, Cunneen has been diligently working on a follow-up project, which has now culminated in a full-length LP, Only Wanting, set for release on the 5th of September, 2025.

Only Wanting reflects Cunneens evolution across every corner of the music industry - as a sideman, producer and writer - crafted under his own creative direction. An entirely self-produced effort, the record draws inspiration from artists such as Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Andy Shauf, MJ Lenderman, Regurgitator and Beck and features string arrangements by the illustrious Novak Manojlovic (Godtet, Ngaiire, Sampa The Great).

Grace Turner

Grace Turner is a singer-songwriter whose music lives at the intersection of honest folk and raw indie sensibility. The Newcastle-born now Melbourne based musician is known for her emotionally resonant lyrics and understated power. Turner made a striking debut with her 2020 EP Half Truths, a collection that captured the vulnerability and energy at the core of her songwriting. After a reflective hiatus, she is bringing her and her band's captivating live presence back to the stage and preparing to release new music that deepens and shifts from her signature sound.

After a period of, wow, such deep and intense introspection, Dyarubbin/Hawkesbury freak, Jack Millar, returns from his 4 year hiatus from live performance to debut new material. Eek! Witness the rebirth of a shooting star.
