The line-up includes:

No Motor, based in Orange, this 4-piece acoustic band features upright bass, guitars, banjo and voice, performing up-tempo story-telling songs with humour and skill.

Limoncello. Crafting their sound from a baritone uke and cello, Annie’s and Sarah’s voices are confident and accomplished with a hint of vulnerability, and it’s these four elements which create Limoncello’s unique allure and depth. Reimagining a long list of well-chosen pop classics with an often bluesy and soulful leaning, this duo was born to entertain and elicit smiles of musical joy. With dozens of gigs now under their belts, these Bathurst-based gals are ready to surprise and delight with decades of songcraft in clever arrangements.

Sam Bucca is a bush punk rock and roll poet, writing personal and visceral songs on Wiradyuri country. His acoustic guitar provides a rhythmic and dexterous counterpoint to Sam’s powerful voice, as he sings with humour and deep consideration of contemporary social and cultural issues. Travelling far and wide from his Lithgow base, Sam sings songs to evoke laughter, anger and thoughtfulness, just for starters.

Andy Nelson, whose soulful blend of contemporary folk and Americana speaks straight to the heart. His poignant lyrics touch on universal themes of family, love, and loss, while his deep, warm voice and dynamic acoustic guitar draw listeners in. Shows feature a collection of original songs highlighting Andy’s ability to craft emotionally resonant music with a raw authenticity. More recently, Andy has collaborated closely with multi-instrumentalist Jon Wilby, expanding their musical range and depth creating together even more lush soundscapes. Their performances, infused with the chemistry they’ve built, have a richer, more expansive quality, captivating audiences wherever they play.

Chloë and Jason Roweth have been researching and performing the living tradition of Australian music for over twenty years. They gather and present the songs and poems of the kitchen, the verandah, the shearers’ huts, the local pub – and the yarns that go with them – in all their ornery detail. Drawing their inspiration from the warmth of old-style bush entertainment, the Roweths create vibrant arrangements of new and old traditional Australian ballads and work songs, early country music, original music, poetry, yarns, and dance tunes weaving together and carrying forward many threads of the Australian tradition.

November Shorn, the Central West’s premier acoustic bush band, plays material from Australia’s rich bush music heritage and tunes from Europe, particularly England, Ireland and Scotland. The band and its music have appeared on an Australian feature film, reality television and most recently in a documentary for European television audiences on the life of Banjo Patterson. Many years of performing in country halls, pubs, woolsheds and tents from Bourke to Sydney have established the band’s reputation as a popular and good fun dance band who continue to be in high demand.
