💛 Wrap up your weekend with a majestic show by UK's Ezra Collective at the dreamy 1950's Burnside Ballroom. 🎶

Tix and more info: https://goodmusicmonth.com.au/events/ezra-collective-burnside-ballroom-porch-records-presents/

"Ezra Collective’s new era, a venture in discovered maturity and raised stakes, will be defined by the anticipated second album. Where I’m Meant To Be is a thumping celebration of life, an affirming elevation in the Ezra Collective’s winding hybrid sound and refined collective character.

The songs marry cool confidence with bright energy. Full of call-and-response conversations between their ensemble parts, a natural product of years improvising together on-stage, the album - which also features Sampa The Great, Kojey Radical, Emile Sande and Nao - will light up sweaty dance floors and soundtrack summer dinners in equal measure."

💛 Tonight, Robyn Martin at Cooee Arthouse! 🎶

"With ARIA chart hitting songs and national & international songwriting recognition in her back pocket from her releases with trio The New Graces, Robyn Martin launches her solo project.

With a sound that is distinctly Australian, her music traverses a wide terrain from deep pocket soul, mixed with heart warming, thought provoking folk sensibilities, to the occasional banjo driven hoedown singalong and a sprinkle of grungy angst rock."

💙 A very special performance by The Audreys tonight at Trinity Sessions, keep reading for more info, and head to https://goodmusicmonth.com.au/events/the-audreys/ to purchase your tix 🎶💛

"Live favourites and multiple ARIA award winners The Audreys have a new lineup and are back at Trinity Sessions for a very special concert.

The Audreys began as university buddies and songwriting duo Taasha Coates and Tristan Goodall. They released their first album Between Last Night And Us in 2006. The album went on to win that year’s ARIA Award for Best Blues & Roots Album and be certified Gold for record sales, catapulting them onto the national stage.

In 2008 they released their follow up album, won a second ARIA, and began touring in North America. In 2011 they released their third album Sometimes The Stars, picked up yet another ARIA.

In July 2022, Tristan sadly passed away from a long illness. Taasha and band plan to record a new album in 2023.
Many of the new songs were penned with Tristan before his passing, and the album will be dedicated to his memory.

This concert, at Trinity Sessions, one of Tristan's favourite venues will be very special as the new songs get a run with the full band. The concert will include inductions into the SA Music Hall of Fame."
