Candice Alisha is a folk singer songwriter originally hailing from Wodonga, Victoria but now local to Melbourne after making the move to the big city to pursue her career at the beginning of 2019. With her soulful and politically minded lyricism and powerhouse vocal, Candice brings to the stage music with a message and a magnetic stage presence.
Les Thomas is a Naarm/Melbourne-based singer-songwriter whose work sits at the crossroads of history, place and human experience. He writes story-driven songs that honour working lives, memory and the resilience of ordinary people.
Drawing on the folk tradition while speaking to the present moment, his music explores themes of justice, solidarity and the forces that shape this country and its people. Songs like The Last of the Old Holdens and The Firing Line reflect a deep engagement with social issues, carried by narratives that are intimate, humane and unsentimental.
A recipient of the Troubadour Award for keeping protest alive in folk music, Les has built a reputation for performances that are thoughtful, moving and grounded in connection rather than rhetoric.
Los Parceros is a Power Duo that specialises in feel-good, honest and authentic music. Abe Dunovits and Julian Guzman combine an eclectic mix of cultures to create a unique experience with no gimmicks. Armed with plenty of stage kudos, Los Parceros draw from a plethora of musical genres and influences, performed in a unique style, combining strings and percussion, respectfully honouring the music, the original artists and their culture. Their natural habitat has been, for the last ten years, bars, festivals, wineries, busking and fundraisers, always standing for worthy solidaric causes but always creating good, danceable vibes wherever they play.
