ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Kane Vincent
What’s a chef to do when he’s over the smoky grills, long hours,
family drama, relationships, and life in general? Some blokes buy a
Harley, some chase younger women, well Kane Vincent took the
advice of a Jason Isbell song to “find what makes you happy ... and
do it till you’re gone,” picked up his old Maton, and got stuck into it.
Over the last seven years he’s lugged that guitar from pubs, to
parties, and festivals, but is no longer singing in the kitchen.
A loveable spirit, impressive song writing, and
engaging vocals won him the 2024 Country On Keppel
Talent Search; a definitive “I reckon I can do this” moment.
Keenly observant, Kane finds lyrical inspiration in both the mundane
and extraordinary stories of the everyday. These songs have a
folk/pop sensibility, a soulful edge, more than a hint of country and a
familiar nod to the blues.

Ricki Wood
Ricki is a country folk and acoustic singer-songwriter whose music walks the line between earthy simplicity and emotional depth. Drawing from a life well-travelled and a heart still wide open, Ricki shares songs shaped by personal experience and a quiet yearning for something more — connection, truth, and the kind of meaning you don’t always find in words.
“Emotive, heartfelt, authentic”
Dallas Frasca
Ricki brings a stripped-back, no-frills presence to every stage he steps on. His style echoes the introspective spirit of artists like Shane Nicholson, Colin Hay, John Williamson and Paul Kelly — storytellers who don’t just sing at you, but with you.
Ricki's latest single 'Back in my day" (released Nov 14, 2025) has been snapped up by more than 150 radio stations worldwide within its first week of release with more being added daily.
Ricki released two singles in 2024
’Well, that's alright’ and ‘Get back Boss man’
Both songs received extensive play in Australia, NZ, Canada, USA, Italy, UK and Ireland.
Get Back Boss Man was in the Top 10 on WDNF Philly (USA)
for 8 consecutive weeks (2024)
