Jack Davies & The Bush Chooks at Valla Hall

Saturday 3 May 2025

Presented by Archive Mid North Coast Jack Davies and his elusive band of Bush Chooks are heading to NSW for a run of intimate full band shows. Featuring a mix of old, new, and unreleased music. Don’t miss out on this once off opportunity. Tickets are on sale now. Jack is a celebrated Australian songwriter, well known for his slick finger picking and rambling poetics. Performing both solo and with his alt folk rock outfit "The Bush Chooks", the West Aus folksinger has built a dedicated national audience; releasing three records, taking home WA's best folk/songwriter act four years running, and touring to sold out rooms across the country. From singing about seagulls to mumbling poems of sorrow, Jack's songs like to laugh, poke and longingly stare at the world. Be sure not to miss this unique blend of spoken word, folk picking, sad singing and indi acoustic weirdery.

New date - Live at The Farm with Kinfolk Orkestar

Sunday 13 April 2025

Archive presents 'Live at the Farm' the February edition With the Kinfolk Orkestar, following up last year's sold out show at the Nambucca Arts Centre The Kinsfolk Orkestar is a collective of rare talent, where folk music meets jazz meets a groove that moves body and soul. This is where traditional melodies dare to venture into phonic forays of virtuosic improvisation, where the sweeter sounds of bow on strings and breath in brass collide with raw rhythm groove and power, creating an emergent sonic property greater than the sum of its parts.

A night of original jazz surrounded by local art at the Archive Warehouse space. A small audience, intimate concert, BYO drinks and dinner. Pablo Blitzer is an Argentinian composer and multi-instrumentalist known for his naturalized use of odd time signatures and his imaginative harmonies. His music combines the thrilling spontaneity of jazz with the emotional intensity of classical and folkloric music. His first release "First Studies in Odd Meters" was very well received and reflected his vast range of experiences and diverse explorations on folkloric musical languages from around the world, as well as the fields of jazz and classical music. His second album “Free Fall” continued this exploration with stronger influences from the genres of funk and R&B. Thrilling, groovy, sweet and bold.

James Bennett, Intimate Show at the Archive Warehouse

Saturday 20 July 2024

"Occasionally an artist stops you in your tracks and belts you right in the feels, and singer-songwriter James Bennett is certainly in the business of crafting tracks that get stuck in your head without overstaying their welcome. There's an effortless charm to Bennett's songs that carries over into real life when he talks about his music - a self-taught guitarist, a silver-tongued lyricist and a voice coated in rasping honey, it's no surprise or coincidence that a boy who grew up off the grid listening to uninterrupted Bob Dylan would end up conjuring dreamy folk magic." James Bennett is an independent solo artist & multi instrumentalist from Port Macquarie NSW. An experienced, prolific songwriter & one who believes in writing for a purpose & not just for the sake of trying to hit the big time. Constantly evolving, while staying rooted in the sincerity that defines his music, James Bennett’s raw honesty shines through his live sets, never failing to transfix an audience.
