Roll up, roll up!

Guitar Kingdom returns to the cosy Brunswick Green on Saturday November 15 from 3pm. Featuring the wonderful and highly-esteemed Nathan Slater, and ever-present resident Yours Truly.

Guitar Kingdom brings the concert experience to a grungy bar setting, heralding the intimacy and popular roots of the guitar's nomadic history. With four shows a year, Guitar Kingdom has drawn a steady following of live music lovers for featuring cream-of-the-crop guitarists of Melbourne in a low-key and intimate setting.

Initially residing at the beloved Northcote venue Open Studio Bar, Guitar Kingdom has been curated by Yours Truly since 2019. Many happy returns in 2025 as it continues at the Brunswick Green.

Guitar Kingdom....where cult guitarists descend for some gentle shredding on the fine stringbox...

See U There!

“Los Derros” play a mix of traditional 40’s Cuban son montuno, 50’s Puerto Rican pop songs, early 60’s Nigerian Highlife, and other music that suits Hawaiian shirts, cocktails and sunny beer gardens! Kade Brown formed the band in Berlin in 2023 with a hugely successful Friday night residency in a Neukölln bar, and upon returning to Australia in 2025 Kade has restarted the band with long-time collaborators in Melbourne. Originally “Los Drongos”, the refurbished “Los Derros” feature an all star line-up of Donald Stewart on trombone, Yael Zamir on flute, Jordan Tarento on double bass, Dominic Sitt on drums and percussion, and some very special guests!

Anushka in the Woods is a collaboration between Anna Simic and Dave Evans. Their original songs: Anushka’s words and vocals, Dave’s music, accordion and piano, draw inspiration from Eastern European Folklore. Simic and Evans deliver a transformative live music experience, inviting you on a journey into a world of magic realism. Full of nostalgia and vivid imagery, the dynamic atmosphere shifts between edgy 'Folk Noir' and reinvented fairy tales, tender, bold and often absurd.

European melodies, shrouded in mystery, tell stories, lost and found. Songs in the woods are familiar and edgy, where the night breathes life and the days are bright and wild. 

We hope you can join us.

Tickets $15 at the door

Very excited to announce new music and new trio with Gareth Skinner (cello) & Dan Musil (dobro). These two friends and musicians are very special in their deftly considered approach to music and I'm so chuffed to be working with them on this new project.

I say new but these songs are better described as "yet unheard" - some material preceding my time in Geelong (Cry of the Curlew written in the hinterlands of Northern NSW) and some written during my time in Geelong (Heavy Laden Drays inspired by Deviation Road) and songs like Into Your Rip (written in Dublin last time thinking back to Australia) - and the trio has been rehearsing since before the release of my last solo album.

The material is somewhat different, chamber folk I suppose you'd call it, with the lush, textural touch of Gaz and Dan's rare magic.

I hope you'll join us for our third and last outing in this run at the intimate Green front room.
