Their songs have won awards and their vocal harmonies and unique rhythms will entertain you.
Sophisticateandbetty
Times: 6:15-6:50
Sophisticateandbetty are an ambush wrapped in sweet harmony.
Entrenched in the world of folk they deliver a delicate but unbreakable blend of
ukuleles and tightly entwined voices. Betty France and Cate Jardine will take you on
a rollercoaster ride of silly words that pack a punch.
Their penchant for the whimsical
and offbeat will have you laughing and crying in the same set. Sometimes in the
same song
Jack Jel Mac & Wal
Time: 7:05-7:40pm
A four part harmony band full of rich vocals, originals songs and covers that are a bit country, jazzy and prog rock. Jack, Jel, Mac and Wal are a rare commodity: performers who can teach, teachers who can perform; multi-instrumentalists (guitar, bass, banjo, and trumpet) but particularly ukulele. Their original song writing is tender, toe-tapping and often silly!
Green Fieldz
Time: 7:55-8:30
Green Fieldz is Keith Rea and Sally Carter creating a storm of high end energy with blazing fiddle, wild guitar work and melodic ukulele. Soaring vocal harmonies add to their unique sound which blends the many musical genres they play into a journey of fun.
Audrey
Time: 8:45-9:20
Audrey is an emerging Singer / Songwriter from Camden, NSW, known for her melodic compositions that uniquely blend indie alternative pop rock.
Performing with her trusty ukulele with her 3 piece band, Audreys sound is distinct and refreshing. Her sweet, angelic voice will have you vibing, chilling and occasionally rocking. You've not heard a uke sound like this before.
