Somewhere between an Italian wedding band and a French revolution, Bella Donna Gorgonzola knows how to start a party in eight languages. With a hint of blues and a lot of spice, these cheesy paisanos play a mix of youthful favourites and drinking hits!

The Memphis Cats are a swing, blues and country trio, playing in clubs and on street corners around the Inner West and recreating classic American styles from the 1940s and 50s. The line-up is Luca Skelly, a young guitar player highly regarded in the Sydney blues scene, and Tony Eyers, a regular performer at international harmonica festivals. Twin harmonica and guitar lines combine with Tony's vintage Gibson archtop guitar to make a fat sound. You'll love these guys!

At 17 and 18, the band have a collective depth of experience across a wide range of genres - including jazz, classical, musical theatre, rock, folk music, opera and more.

Ceffie is a local up-and-coming indie folk signer-songwriter from the Inner West.

AJ Stanton has been described as "mature with a grain of madness", credit due to her unapologetically quirky, honest and raw songwriting and lyricism. With influences from bedroom pop through to indie, jazz and folk, AJ's style is unique, marked by their mystical and ethereal harmonies supported by piano and guitar. AJ has been writing songs since the age of four and is a poet at heart, writing music that is spontaneous, curious and rich with emotion. Now at the age of seventeen, AJ Stanton is an independent singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist.
