ACT 1: ZANE BANKS

Anyone who has ever met Zane Banks can attest that he's one of a kind. Obsessed with the guitar from childhood, but not your typical guitar nut, he has built his mastery of his instrument into his life's work, performing music spanning the spectrum of genres, from jazz to country/ bluegrass to classical music.

His songs span a wide world of ideas and influences, encompassing everything from high art and roaring guitar solos, to poetry and the American songbook, all in his search for truth and beauty.

Born and bred in Sydney's inner west but with a career that has taken him to stages across the globe, Zane Banks is a rare voice and one well worth your time and attention.

ACT 2: THE BANKS BROTHERS

Born and bred in Sydney's inner west, The Banks Brothers are an unmistakable duo. Real life brothers as well as a musical pairing, the two cut their teeth in Sydney's pubs and bars starting when they were still in school, and now have over 20 years' experience performing together.

Zane and Jy Banks have created a name for themselves as two of the finest song-writers and pickers around, performing in iconic Sydney bands as individual performers, as well as together.

With a sound deeply rooted in mid-century American music, and shaped by the sounds of Sydney's live-music scene, the brothers have a fresh and uniquely Australian take on classic country, rock, blues, and Americana.

ACT 3: HARRY FOXTON AND BAND

Australian heartland rocker Harry Foxton is rising through the ranks, delivering captivating lyrics and rocking melodies on an international scale.

Hailing from a blue-collar background, hope and hard times shine through Foxton's lyrics, spotlighting honest truths on the ride that we call life.

With a commanding presence on stage, Harry's energy is warm yet electric, and will leave you hanging on every word, note, and story that falls from his guitar.
