Australian/Lebanese artist Gaia Scarf has woven multiple threads of influence into the tapestry of her sound, blending Folk, Indie and Soul. Her music is made of candid lyricism and melodic catharsis, with warm nylon strings and raw vocals in the foreground of a complex sonic world.
With soulful vocals, atmospheric electric guitar and the mossy textures of her nylon strings, Gaia is transparent as she sings on identity, love, family, death and the ache to belong.
"Incredibly delicate and smoky vocal, dripping with soul and melancholy, my favourite combo." - Kath Devany, Triple J
Jessie Monk is an interdisciplinary artist based in Naarm, Australia. Jessie’s influences come from this world and the other, weaving together threads of song, story, movement and ritual. Jessie attempts to resurrect old stories and feed old gods, whilst exploring the intersection between the modern and ancient in a humble offering of avant-folk music.
Having spent many years living in Berlin, Jessie has steeped in its embracing and fecund folk community, headlining many tours across Europe, Australia and the UK, and supporting other artists like Rachel Sermanni, Ocie Elliot and Matthew and the Atlas. Her debut album, Continually Becoming (2023) was reviewed as ‘Boundless Folk' by Rolling Stone Magazine and her sophomore, Mis O’ The Mountains (2025) - a concept album based on the myth of an ancient celtic goddess named Mis, was nominated for AFMA’s Contemporary Folk Album of the Year, 2025. She has also performed in the Australian Premier of David Bowie’s, Lazarus and the Australian tour of Anais Mitchell’s, Hadestown.
"Stunning, with the power and prowess of Joni Mitchell" - Nkechi Alene, Triple J
“Boundless and fearless folk, about and against the grain” - Rolling Stone Magazine
"Heavens opened up and delivered a folk angel in Jessie Monk. A pure delight in every way." - Kath Devany - ABC Country
"Whoosh! This is gorgeous Jessie. You wear your influences on your sleeve, but boy howdy do you make it your own. Just beautiful" - Zan Rowe, Double J
