Ernest Aines w/ Grace Robinson
Friday 3 July 7:00 pm
Red Hill Mechanics Hall, Mechanics Road, Red Hill
From busking on the street to touring the world, Ernest Aines has built a live show that can quiet a room — and bring it to its feet. Fresh from a US tour opening for Concerts America in Seattle and a featured appearance at the Sydney Guitar Festival, he brings poetic songs, intricate guitar work and a warm, quietly disarming presence. Support by Melbourne singer-songwriter Grace Robinson.

Lucy Wise plus support
Friday 2 October 7:30 pm
The Shed Theatre, Then Pig and Whistle, Main Ridge
Award-winning songwriter, Lucy Wise creates music that gently opens a door you didn’t realise was closed.
Blending contemporary folk with pop-inflected melodies, intricate guitar work and poetic lyricism, Lucy’s songs make space for reflection on longing, connection and the inner lives we carry. Based in Central Victoria, Lucy has spent over 15 years building a career defined by craft, curiosity and emotional honesty.
Her forthcoming record ‘Salt’ is inspired by artists such as Joni Mitchell and Madison Cunningham, sitting comfortably between the intimacy of traditional folk and the clarity of modern pop.
A seasoned performer, she has toured extensively across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US, and appeared at festivals including Woodford, Port Fairy and the National Folk Festival. Her work has earned multiple accolades, including Solo Artist of the Year at the 2024 Australian Folk Music Awards.
Lucy will play as a trio.
