Pat Tierney is a lap slide guitarist and roots troubadour whose soulful fusion of
blues and folk draws on influences like Bob Dylan, Ben Harper, and JJ Cale. Since
his 2015 debut, he has toured extensively, performed at major Australian festivals,
and shared stages with artists including The Beautiful Girls, Bobby Alu and Harry
Manx. His acclaimed albums Red Moon and Lost in the Haze showcase his poetic
songwriting and have earned national radio play, millions of streams, and multiple
Queensland Music Award nominations. Tierney’s heartfelt performances and
socially conscious lyrics mark him as a standout voice in modern folk and roots
music.
Trent Knight is a Western Australian singer-songwriter now based in Gracetown,
blending indie folk and ambient rock with a unique twist. Drawing inspiration from
artists like Ben Howard and Matt Corby, Trent aims to bring a unique energy to his
live performances, using techniques like singing into his guitar mic and connecting
with the crowd in a way that adds a raw, personal touch to each show. For him,
songwriting is a form of self-care — a way to reflect, recharge, and find clarity
through sound. His honest, reflective tunes are perfect for long drives or quiet
nights by the fire.
Charlotte Lock is a compelling singer-songwriter whose evocative debut
album, Tangled in the Wash (2023), weaves raw emotion and lyrical honesty into a
sound that is both intimate and powerful. Blending indie folk, alt-pop, and subtle
rock influences, her music captures the beautiful mess of big emotions through
confessional storytelling. With a warm, tender voice tinged with smoky depth and a
soulful edge, Charlotte turns vulnerability into strength, crafting deeply personal
yet widely relatable songs. Her acoustic-driven sound highlights her gift for melody
and lyrical sincerity, while her strong live performances showcase her ability to
connect deeply with audiences through honest songwriting and evocative delivery.
