Alisha Todd sings the songs of a curious traveller, bringing focus to the beauty of humans and nature alike. From her humble beginnings being raised on country and 90’s pop in small town Gympie to European explorations of getting lost to be found, Alisha’s music too has travelled and evolved in time to be the inspiring nuggets of unconditional encouragement needed while on the endless pursuit of happiness.

Surrounded by the wilds of the rainforest and the azure beauty of the reef in far north Queensland, Leanne Tennant is an artist who pulls you across boundaries. Her songs sweep and fall, rock and flow and bring you into her world—one where you can escape that concrete, check out for a little and get lost in myriad stories of real people, real life and real experiences.

Dan Horne is an English-born Australian singer/songwriter swiftly making his mark on the Australian music industry. The former bricklayer began his music career in 2015 busking on the streets whilst travelling. His one-man-band style is a mesmerising blend of foot drums, harmonica, multiple guitars and unmistakable vocals with unforgettable lyrics that are easy to relate to. Now living in Chatsworth near Gympie, Dan is a must-see act on the live music scene, rigorously touring and playing music festivals across the country.

Local emerging singer/songwriter, Ashley Pel is quickly making a name for herself on the local music scene. As one of the participants being mentored by industry professionals with the Plug-In Music Development Program, Ashley is on the brink of taking her career to next level.

The bar opens at 5pm and the Bearded Brothers Food Truck will be offering tasty delights on the night.
