Festival Fave, Singer, Songwriter and producer from WA

"Music is like breathing, something that I Iove to do, something that I have to do. It’s something that when I’ve chosen to stop doing it happens anyway”

Influenced by the classic Australian nature of artists such as Paul Kelly to the power and musicality of Neil Young and the effervescent pop sensibility of artist’s like Vance Joy, Matt weaves a charming relaxed nature thru blues influenced acoustic folk ballads.

“For me music is expressed as songcraft. Stories, some fabled, some truth, some reflect my own personal journey through life including the big things, but also I love to write about the little things that happen along the way as we stop to hopefully smell the roses…”

An act not to be missed. Recently touring with Ash Grunwald, Jeff Lang and the Nannup Music Festival.

Finn Pearson

Honesty and hardwork pays off for award winning WA artist

Award-winning singer-songwriter Finn Pearson has built a reputation as one of Western Australia’s hardest-working independent artists, crafting a raw, anthemic blend of sharply observed, emotionally honest alt-country and folk-rock.

From appearances at Out of the Woods Festival, Blues at Bridgetown and Wave Rock Weekender, to

supporting Kingswood, The Southern River Band and Playlunch, his momentum continues to grow.

Recent releases have drawn praise from Rolling Stone and The AU Review and received airplay on Triple J, ABC Country, and Australian Country Radio, as Finn enters his next chapter with revitalised live energy and rising national attention.

Cooper Jones

Powerful, deep, gritty and sublime folk quintet

Following from the launch of the haunting debut single "Cold Throne" at Perth's illustrious original music incubator 'The Bird' in 2025, Cooper Jones have gone on to rack up performances at the inaugural Wagyl Festival in Bindoon, the long-running and deeply respected Perth Folk and Roots Club, live radio broadcast on Geraldton blues and country cognoscente Darcy Hay's Poscast - "Darcy's Country", and appearances at multiple gigs and single-day festivals.

In 2026 the group has expanded to become a powerful folk-quintet, adding multi-instrumentalist Eleanor Weatherby on vocals and cello, Aaron Sopolinski- former voice of desert-doomers "Giant Dwarf"- on guitar and vocals, and percussionist Mason "Slam"

Duncan.

Cooper Jones play deep, gritty, dark, psychedelic folk with sublimely orchestrated strings and four-part harmonies; the sound is a wicked sum that, in its

collective, exceeds even the impressive individual talents of the band. Not to be missed!
