About
Genre: Acoustic, folk, Songwriter, Americana
Tristen Bird is a well travelled singer-songwriter with experience writing, collaborating and performing in many corners of the world. Evidently, his time spent in well known locales such as Memphis and Nashville has undeniably left authentic soul and folk magic in his musical delivery. Back in his hometown of Adelaide Bird runs recording studio, ‘Palomino Sound Recorders’ by day.
For his last release, ‘Yonder Comes The Sun’, Tristen travelled to both Sun Studios and Sam Philips recording service in Memphis Tennessee to work with Grammy award winning producer Matt Ross-Spang. The album was mastered in Nashville by multi Grammy award winner Pete Lyman.
In recent years Tristen has performed with numerous international musicians on their Australian tours sharing stages with Kevin Welch (USA), Emily Barker (UK) and Evan Dando (USA) and has worked along side Australian icons Lo Carmen, Spencer P Jones (Beasts of Bourbon), Darren Middleton, Ian Haug (Powderfinger) Tim Rogers, & Clint Hyndman (Something for Kate).
Currently working on his 3rd album, Bird will be unveiling new works, and songs from his catalogue throughout a series of album preview shows throughout October & November 2026.
Laura K Clarke has a folk/pop sound that is sweet, soothing and honest. Much to Laura’s delight, her vocal stylings are often likened to those of musicians she respects and admires including Wendy Matthews, Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell and Jewel.
Laura released her debut, 5 track EP "Looking For Inspiration", in April (2012) and regularly plays live shows, both locally (Melbourne) and interstate.
Melbourne singer-songwriter Hannah Acfield is one of Australia’s most compelling voices in contemporary folk and soul. Her acclaimed 2025 album Golden Light debuted at #13 on the ARIA Jazz & Blues Chart and was named #1 Album of 2025 by Billy Pinnell, cementing Acfield as one of the country’s most distinctive independent artists.
Blending soulful folk, roots, gospel and subtle RnB influences, Golden Light showcases Acfield’s powerful voice, emotive songwriting and gift for creating music that feels both intimate and expansive. Featuring standout tracks “I Got You,” “Truth,” and “I’ll Always Be There,” the album explores themes of connection, resilience, friendship and self-worth with warmth, honesty and depth.
