An outstanding evening of incredible artists await with Triple J faves Ally Row & Whiskey Jack headlining this toe tapping night. Joining them are WA artists Michael Ward Trio & Jamie Hall making this jam packed with exceptional talent and a night to remember.
Ally Row (VIC)
Gunaikurnai/Gippsland-based folk-rock/alt-country duo Ally Row has come a long way since their humble beginnings in mid-2021, touring the East Coast, crashing in a rooftop tent, playing “play-to-stay” gigs. Their big break came fast, winning The Tablelands Folk Festival Songwriting Contest with Bare Feet and a radio competition weeks later with Struggling to Breathe.
Drawing inspiration from Mumford & Sons, Of Monsters & Men, Sons of The East and The 502s, Ally Row blends toe-tapping energy with raw emotion. Armed with velvety harmonies, guitar, piano, modernized banjo, harmonica, and stomp box, their dynamic sound breaks genre barriers and brings audiences to their feet.
Whiskey Jack
Whiskey Jack is described as an old soul with a smooth sound and timeless vocals. This folk singer-songwriter draws inspiration from many wandered trails, finding helpful metaphors in plain sight—a modern day jolly swagman.
Reaching new heights in 2024, Whiskey Jack has released his second EP 'Extra Luck' and was hand-picked by Angus & Julia Stone for the Wild Turkey House of Music mentorship programme in Sydney.
