Melbourne Americana Collective

Duncan Phillips...

Duncan Phillips and his band play a unique blend of contemporary Americana. Think Steve Earle meets Tom Petty with a touch of the Boss and you’re starting to get the picture. With rich vocal harmonies, guitars ranging from finger-style acoustic to all out rock and the rhythm section driven by the dynamic pairing of Zac Watson (Bass) and Chelsea Allen (Drums) the live show will keep you captivated from the first note to the last beat.

Great Aunt...

Great Aunt is a folk/Americana duo from Melbourne, Australia, rambling a musical line between the plaintive and the joyous. Their music is raw and austere, simple and bold; full of stomping feet and clapping hands, chants and harmonies, whispered words and soulful lament. Set somewhere between a gospel church in Louisiana and a dimly-lit speakeasy in Melbourne, listeners will hear tales of joy and grief, whiskey and wine, gratitude and purpose-seeking
