About

MATTHEW COLIN brings with him the philosophy of history’s great songwriters “a song and a friend for every mile behind”. It’ll only take listening to one or two lines to find a writer of considered craft, values nested in a time of country folk music when all that mattered was the song itself.

Based out of Castlemaine, on Djarra Country, Matthew is cycling into a phase of reconnection to his long and varied musical life. As one new fan remarked upon hearing his story “some folks get dealt a hand, you’ve been dealt a whole fucking deck”. It’s with this world-worn philosophy that Matthew seeks to offer an alternative beyond the panopticon of an arts space so often lacking in depth, realism, nuance, and most valuably, genuine caretaking for the hearts and minds of the community that can be drawn together around an idea. It is a firmly held belief that the game is broken, that as a result we are broken people, that it is time now to heal, to reconnect, and to come back and sit by the fire.

Felicity Cripps is a singer-songwriter based on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, crafting music that feels both intimate and otherworldly. Her songs carry a mystical, hypnotic quality, weaving together rich lyrical storytelling with a distinctly psychedelic folk sensibility.

Often collaborating with other musicians, she expands her sound into ethereal sonic landscapes that contrast beautifully with the raw honesty at the core of her work. These layered arrangements highlight her focus on atmosphere as much as narrative, creating immersive listening experiences.

As a solo performer, Felicity returns her songs to their original form—stripped back to acoustic guitar and voice—where their emotional depth and lyrical strength take centre stage. A true storyteller of our times, her music invites listeners into a space that is both deeply personal and quietly transcendent.
