Let's have a mash up of electro / pop / soul / jazz and see what happens!

ELECTRIC EMPIRE

Having played Glastonbury and the Royal Albert Hall, hung out with the likes of Ben L ncle Soul, Paul Personne, Aloe Blacc and The Brand New Heavies, Electric Empire have been embraced by the world.  Fresh from another European tour, the fellas are ready to bring their rich, modern soul to The Garden Party.  Be assured of a brilliant set from these guys who revel in their live gigs.

THE RAAH PROJECT

Ryan Ritchie and Tamil Rogeon's famed large-form big band re-emerges in the compact style of a four-piece, retaining their trademark panache.  The Raah Project combines the best of a range of genres with an infectious groove.  Preparing for a new album, the boys have been busy writing and are eager to share their latest tunes with you!

JONTI

Does any music say summer better than multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer, and vocalist Jonti? Jonti's music is the ultimate collection of ice-cream flavours. On the surface, Jonti's songs are pure simple fun, but this ear-candy is made of layered textures, intricate melodies and pulsing rhythms which take you on enthralling musical journeys.

ABOUT THE GARDEN PARTY

This summer, a vacant lot in Southbank becomes your backyard - that is, if your backyard is home to some of the biggest names in Australian and international indie, electro and soul music. Astroturf and street art, deckchairs and DJs, flowers and funk. This is the place to spend warm summer evenings.

The Garden Party is the outdoor music festival with a difference. Join us in the Garden for drinks, great food and the simple pleasure of hearing and seeing your great acts on stage. It happens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 25 January to 17 February.

Where is The Garden Party?  On Sturt Street, right next to Melbourne Recital Centre.
