Taylor and her five siblings were raised in a quaint bush home, rich with creativity and music. During her childhood, the Taylor barn was home to a family of Tasmanian Devils and some say that Taylor developed her unique, raspy singing style from nights spent listening to the devils growling beneath the floorboards. ABC Radio's Joel Rheinberger described Claire Anne Taylor as 'the voice of Tasmania' and it is that voice with its soulful, velvet and world-worn quality that commands audiences to silence. With a distinctively emotive and powerful vocal ability that simultaneously expresses both an inner strength and a vulnerability, Taylor has garnered a reputation for her powerful live shows – tough and tender performances that see her develop an intimate rapport with fans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae0f38e6666951990c3839/1694154653853-GSNHDB0GD9PCUBM2S697/Pete.jpg New Gallery - Pete Denahy "I laughed so much I had to make several adjustments" - Verity Prunes When Pete Denahy talks about his his own show, he says, “It not rocket science; I’m not the best singer, fiddle player or guitar picker in the world, but as far as I know, no one else is doing my show.” Which is true; there isn’t another show like it. He takes you on a journey that travels from the gold rush days of the mid 19th century to buying toilet paper at your local supermarket. It’s perhaps not a show formula many managers would suggest their acts follow, but it seems to work for Pete. He blends fiddle tunes, bluegrass style original songs and madcap comedy to provide the audience with an escape from reality most of them feel is worth their while. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae0f38e6666951990c3839/1694154633282-C5T1NVMV1952OLVZ8QIZ/Lucy+Wise+Press+Photo+2+Square+by+Laura+May+Grogan.png New Gallery - Lucy Wise A cherished artist at Australian music festivals, Lucy Wise writes and sings about the often-untouched universals – things we’re often not allowed to feel and explore in the daily grind. Intermingling deep feeling with humour, Lucy guides the audience on a journey through themes of growing up, love, mental health, body image, rural life, beaches and bushlands. Lucy creates a rich and distinctive sound, drawing influence from a broad range of acoustic, roots and pop music and artists such as Joni Mitchell, Sufjan Stevens and Nick Drake. She accompanies her soulful vocals on an open-tuned guitar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae0f38e6666951990c3839/1694154583465-YD0VJVKSO7P9NC38YL2Y/damian.jpg New Gallery - Damian Howard Back in 1994 Damian Howard and a collection of like-minded musicians first graced the stage at the Maldon Folk Festival in Central Victoria, north of Melbourne, Australia.
