The Tiger and Me

The Tiger & Me are architects of sing-along good times, dark-edged pop-leaning folk and side-leering swagger. Their feverish live shows wring the full gamut of emotion from their audiences as frenzy gives way to restraint and menace becomes charm. Described by Inpress Magazine as "Cabaret/Circus/Euro Indie Folk-Pop Wunderkinds", The Tiger & Me exploded onto the music scene in 2010 with the launch of their debut album and subsequent performances at The Port Fairy Folk Festival, The Falls, The Apollo Bay Music Festival and The Hills are Alive.

Four Quartets

Four Quartets is the brainchild of 26 year old Rob Sharples, a talented multi-instrumentalist and composer, with a gently layered yet bitingly raw voice. For the as-yet untitled Four Quartets debut, Rob has enlisted a band of talented friends to create an album that has been entirely written and recorded in a bedroom. At times stripped back and haunting, at others multi-layered and hard-hitting, this eclectic project is both musically complex and lyrically poetic - drawing comparisons to Elliott Smith, later Bright Eyes and Radiohead.

Marcel Khalife

Marcel Khalifé (Arabic: مرسيل خليفة) was born in 1950 in Amchit, Mount-Lebanon. He studied the oud (the Arabic lute) at the Beirut National conservatory. His music works around the classical Arabic oud but also includes jazz piano and many other influences. His playing techniques expand far outside those of classical oud playing, however, and he is attributed for having greatly expanded the horizons of this traditional Arabic instrument.
