STONEFIELD
After two years of relentless touring both locally and across the pond, Melbourne rockers Stonefield are back with an exciting glimpse of what is to come in 2015.
'Golden Dream' is the first taste of new music from the Findlay sisters - Amy (vocals/drums), Hannah (guitar/vocals), Sarah (keys/vocals) and Holly (bass/vocals) - and showcases a dreamier, more psychedelic sound than previously heard from the four-piece. The track illustrates a distinct evolution for the band, stripping their trademark thundering sound back into a woozy, sparkling gem. This is certainly Stonefield v2.0.

MARSHALL OKELL & THE PRIDE
Rock/ mojo-blues and roots. Marshall Okell offers up a deep, raw, honest, dirty blues sound that grabs you by the throat and then soothes you with a sweet, honey-tasting musical medicine.
With 3 albums released over 10 years, Marshall has spent the majority of his musical career on the road and his continuous string of live performances have crafted him into a rousing, foot-stomping, mojo-bluesman like no other.

GOOD OAK
GOOD OAK certainly turned a few heads when they sold out their first ever headline show at Black Bear Lodge. They turned a few more selling out all their shows on the first ever headline tour in May. This success was rewarded as they were announced as the support for THE CAT EMPIRE on the North QLD leg of their Steal The Light World Tour, and now they are gearing up to release their debut album in 2015.
Stephen Ryan, Brett Gibson and Tom Busby share a house and love of the irreverent side of Americana. Buzz is also known for his role as singer for roots music stars BUSBY MAROU. Ryano's music background is a bit of mystery but has become one of 2012's real songwriting discoveries. Gibbo has been playing harp around the traps for a while but GOOD OAK has given him the outlet to share his truly unique and powerful voice.

THE PIGS
Unashamed bluegrass sinners, The Pigs, have been spreading their supercharged hillbilly pop around Australia and the world for over 12 years. Their ability to turn hit pop songs into downright foot-stompers is legendary. Their kooky original anthems like Macho Moisturiser and Hey Christina are sung from Berlin to Bendigo. On the band's latest album, 13 iconic Australian songs are reborn into The Pigs' twisted world of bluegrass and folk. From Cold Chisel to the Avalanches, INXS to Powderfinger, The Pigs' total reinvention of Australian music history is brazen to the point of lunacy, but it works.

TRANSVAAL DIAMOND SYNDICATE
Transvaal Diamond Syndicate (TDS) are the manufacturers of some of Australia's finest foot-stompin' swamp and dirty Blues Rock.
It has been a busy and wild journey from their inception back in late 2009, almost immediately garnering attention for their raw, energetic, exciting and often primeval live shows.
In their 5 solid years near the top of the national Blues Rock touring stable they've managed to put over 200,000kms on the tour van, have dropped 4 releases, had 4 tracks featured on Triple J Radio and been amongst the most requested artists on Australian Community Radio (National Top 40 in 2012 - AMRAP with 8 GSBC Top 10 singles).
The band, renowned for their on-stage impact, have played most of the country's Blues and Roots festivals with appearances at Byron BluesFest, Great Southern BluesFest, Blues on Broadbeach, Australian Festival of Blues, QLD Festival of Blues, Sydney Blues and Roots, Queenscliff Music Festival and many more.

TIM STOKES
Byron Bay songsmith Tim Stokes has a star on the rise in the Australian live music scene, driven by his powerful live shows and distinctive sound.
With several successful Australian East Coast Tours under his belt as a solo performer, duo and with his full band, Tim has become renown for the intimate warm feel of his performances. Taking audiences on journeys that traverse musical landscape in new exciting ways.
From laid-back coastal riffs, groove based blues/roots/country dance vibes and into his signature haunting ballads, Tim's voice and presence transforms a performance into a collection of intricate, intimate stories told with a raw honest moving voice.
