The stage at Church St Hotel hosts three singer-songwriters sharing one space: Jack Raymond, Benny Williams, and Ricki Wood. Instead of the usual three separate sets, this show brings all three artists together on stage at the same time where they’ll take turns playing, swapping stories, jumping in on each other’s songs, and creating something honest, raw, and deeply engaging.

Jack, Ben and Ricki’s friendship goes back well over 15 years now to when they first connected on Mount Hotham during winter seasons. So come and enjoy watching old mates hanging out and playing a bunch of great songs and telling yarns.

Meet the artists:

Jack Raymond
From Harrietville, Jack Raymond brings a grounded, soulful presence to his music. His sound leans into blues and folk, shaped by years of travel, gigging, and life in the alpine country. His songs feel lived-in and open, and his performances tend to make you feel like you’re part of the moment rather than just watching it.

Benny Williams
Based out of Beechworth, Benny Williams has a warm and effortless way with a song. He blends experience, humour, and heart into music that feels authentic and approachable. His performances usually carry a quiet spark — something that draws people in without trying too hard.

Ricki Wood
From Maffra, Ricki Wood has been writing, travelling, and playing for decades, and his Back in My Day Tour brings together the stories and reflections gathered along the way. His music sits somewhere between country, folk, and blues, but what stands out most is the honesty — the sense that he’s letting you walk through the memories with him. His shows are conversational, warm, and centred on connection.

GET IN EARLY

Arrive early for a meal and a drink so you’re settled by the time the music starts. If you enjoy thoughtful songwriting, genuine connection, and performances that feel human rather than polished, this night is made for you.
