22 February 2025 - Watty Thompson (6:45pm)In a gloriously unabashed Antipodean drawl, Watty Thompson explores themes of inward and outward love, togetherness, and a desire to strive and live beyond the material. It's affirming, joyous and inspiring, all played out against a background of rollicking country flavoured Australiana folk. Like it says on the tin, a little bit country, a little bit folk, 100% heart.

Supported by Aislinn Young (5:30pm)For Sydney-based singer-songwriter Aislinn Young, a driving desire to carve unique sound within the broad blanket of indie-rock has been a journey of sonic self-discovery. Having found herself enamoured with the boundless avenues of expression with synth and electric guitar offers, she has since moulded a sound that is both raw and euphoric. Lending her angelic but powerful vocals to songs that lyrically centre around heartbreak, identity, and young womanhood, you could be forgiven for thinking that softly spoken songstress is a wounded romantic at heart. Catch her performing live, however, and she unleashes a fiery but charming beast.

The series is presented by the Harbour Trust with a line-up by Music & Booze Co.
