Grace Cummings
Critically acclaimed Australian artist Grace Cummings hit a new high in 2024 with the release of her third album, Ramona. “It felt like the wind of a hurricane entered the room,” said fan and friend, Angel Olsen.
Praised worldwide in outlets ranging from PAPER to The Guardian, Rolling Stone to NPR, Ramona is a work of raw truth rendered in its most beautiful form. In a departure from the self-produced approach of her 2019 debut Refuge Cove and its 2022 follow-up Storm Queen—the Melbourne-based artist worked with producer Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Margo Price) to dream up a lavishly orchestrated sound that fully accommodates the depth and scope of her vocal prowess.
Quality Used Cars
Built around the idiosyncratic songwriting and warbling vocals of Francis Tait, and brought to life by a band of hard-working familiar faces from within Naarm / Melbourne’s bubbling underground music communities, Quality Used Cars put full focus on Francis’ charismatic storytelling, over a backdrop that blends sunny Australiana with alt-country tenderness and scrappy garage-pop smarts.
Since 2020, “the Cars” have released two albums — 2021’s 'Good Days/Bad Days' and 'Quality Of Life' in 2023 - with their third album in five years 'One Hundred Million' to be released through Melbourne's Spoilsport Records in the second half of 2025.

Bullarto Hall
Bullarto is a sleepy little hamlet just out of Daylesford, and to get you there we’ve chartered a vintage train from our friends at the Spa Country Railway
Meet us at Daylesford Railway Station for a half hour jaunt through the Wombat State Forest - from there it’s a gentle wander up an old bush track to the hall, where we’ll have the fire drums roaring and the Hot Toddys ready to go.
