What?
Blood harmonies are the centre of Irish twins The Ocelots sound - imperfections of a voice breaking or a tempo shifting. Compelling indie-folk with open tuned guitar, clawhammer banjo and harmonica, the twin brothers blend absurdity, sincerity and hilarious stage banter into an array of literature-inspired musings.
Returning to Australia for their third tour, after runs in 2019 and 2020, The Ocelots are playing songs from their new album Everything, When Said Slowly, and appearing at Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), Port Fairy Folk Festival (VIC), Blue Mountains Music Festival (NSW), Nannup Music Festival (WA) and venue shows across the country from January to March 2026.
Jessie Monk is an avant-folk musician out of GunaiKurnai land, Australia, now based between Berlin and Naarm. She weaves new stories with old threads, inspired by the Celtic and Appalachian folk traditions and more experimental mediums such as neu-musik and Butoh.
Her sound is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, Sam Amidon or Anna Mieke while her lyrics are inspired by the likes of Rilke and Ovid. Also an actress and a dancer, Jessie has played in major musicals including the Australian Premier of David Bowie’s, Lazarus and recently performed in the Australian tour of Anais Mitchell’s, Hadestown, 2025.
In 2023, she released her debut LP, Continually Becoming, reviewed in Rolling Stone Magazine as ‘Boundless Folk, about and against the grain’. Her sophomore album – Mis O’ The Mountains – a concept album based on the myth of the ancient celtic goddess named Mis, was released in May, 2025, and is a Finalist for AFMA’s Contemporary Folk Album of the Year.
