Basement Spaceman
Basement Spaceman is the artistic vehicle for Melbourne Singer Songwriter -Andy Brown.
Brown is an accomplished and prolific songwriter with 6 Basement Spaceman albums released and another underway, he also provides a unique innovative approach to guitar playing that stands out in a solo setting.
The solo shows include an eclectic array of retro drums machine beats interspersed with bizarre collected samples. Somewhere between Yo La Tengo and Neil Young with the subliminal energy of Negativeland.
"a sonically unique experience, sometimes subversive, sometimes pop art, multi-layered and unexpected"
Basement Spaceman is regularly featured on Melbourne’s 3RRR, his single ’Not The Only One’ reached #4 on the Amrap Regional Music charts in 2018 and his music was featured on ABC Radio National. Well known in his homeland (NZ) he tours there on a regular basis and has also performed in Europe and the USA.

John Henderson
John Henderson has an undeniably rich sense of jazz. They play like they got somewhere to be, like the music is taking them there whether they’re ready or not. A spectacle of originals, yet, in essence, music with inalienable characteristics; this band boasts a sound that Melbourne hasn’t seen in a local piano trio.
Stalwarts of the 2010’s jazz-adjacent explosion, John Henderson sees it’s original founders, pianist Joshua “John” Smeltink and bassist Henry “Henderson” Hicks in their most cherished setting;
alongside friend, ally and permanent fixture, Damien Ellis on drums; playing jazz of the firebrands.

Kier Stevens
Nestled halfway between the blues rock bombast of Ash Grunwald and the genre-mixing folk-roots wizardry of Jeff Lang, Australian steel guitarist KIER STEVENS knits together a raucous weave of hurtful hollering and gutsy guitar work that can take you from old-timey acoustic blues sounds to screaming steel solos and black ballads and then back home via exotic improvisations.
Sometimes sober listeners at venues and festivals (including Tanglewood, Matsumura, Renaissance, MONA, and MordiFest), have variously described his original compositions as bung blues, dirty swamp rock, and even psychedelic bluegrass.
Originally hailing from Hobart, KIER STEVENS is now a regular fixture on the Melbourne music scene writing and performing with several original music acts on dobro, guitar, and pedal steel.

Louise Macgregor
Vocally compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Jewell and Katie Noonan, Louise MacGregor style is described as country tinged soprano. A prolific songwriter, and recording artist, Louise won multiple song competitions early in her career, and has recorded her songs with Louie and The Pride (lush harmonies, and delicately arranged acoustic Pop), Longlea Lane (ambient electronic) and solo under Louise MacGregor. Her songs are how she processes so much of her life, so topics range from motherhood to grief, first love to the love that will be the last, mental health, from joy to injustices.
2025 saw Louise take her music to France, London, and Edinburgh, and she brought home some new songs as well.
Performing with Sam Pollock (the Ratbags) it’s a dream combo, with Sam adding his own flair to Louises style with his lead guitar and effects.
