SUMMARY:Sherri Parry
DESCRIPTION:Sherri Parry has never sat comfortably in one box. This is especially true when it comes to her music. With a sound completely unique Parry blends genres unhesitatingly. Taking influence from solo artists such as Amy Winehouse\, Hayley Williams and Mitski Parry has birthed her own commanding sound in songwriting. Think jazz chords\, pop vocals\, folk storytelling\, soul emotion\, and whatever else is nearby. The only thing retaining a constant is the catchiness of her song writing and power of her lyricism. \nBorn and bred in regional Victoria\, Parry has been writing\, releasing and performing in Central VIC since 2013. She opened for Australian music royalty John Butler in 2019 at the Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival at Ulumburra theatre\, three months before releasing her full-length album ‘Leave The Flowers’ in February 2020. With COVID 19 dismissing any chance of a tour\, spent the isolation writing new music. Since January 2021\, Parry joined forces with Bendigo guitarist\, engineer and producer\, Tom Hadlow to start building the next project. Working through the heat of the summer\, the pair are independently recording and producing Parry’s new songs for her upcoming new album. The songs embody the feeling of melancholy\, desperation\, and anger shifting Parry’s music in a very new direction.

SUMMARY:Thom Johnston
DESCRIPTION:Imagine if Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen raised a child in Geelong. \n\n\n\n\n\nWith an eye for contemporary style but roots in the classics\, singer-songwriter Thom Johnston is just that\, a voice for young people figuring themselves out\, with the skill of making the ordinary worth documenting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLast year\, the release of his debut single ‘Shiver’ led to thousands of streams across multiple platforms\, radio interviews/features\, government funding and a shortlisting in the American Songwriter Lyric Contest. \nAdditionally Thom sold out multiple headline gigs within only the last 4 months of the year (including Bar Open\, Brunswick Green and more). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn mid-late 2026\, Johnston plans to follow up this success with his much anticipated debut self-titled album “Thom Johnston”. \nWorking alongside good friend Ali Harman\, the project has become not only a deeply personal image of Thom but also provides a specific yet universal encapsulation of being a young adult in this time.
