Métis singer-songwriter Joe H Henry possesses a voice described as "as powerful as a freight train," a potent instrument that delivers his blend of early rhythm and blues, soul, and alt-country, enriched by folk-inspired lyrical depth.

Drawing from a life encompassing experiences from a homeless train-hopping youth to a homesteading father of five, Henry's songwriting is thoughtful and his storytelling captivating, forging a strong connection with diverse audiences. This depth of experience resonates in every line he sings.

ARIA-winner Georgia Mooney makes music fit for stargazing. Audiences first came to know her from beloved folk band, All Our Exes Live in Texas, who toured the world extensively, sharing stages with everyone from Backstreet Boys to Midnight Oil.

The release of Mooney’s debut solo album Full of Moon marked the stepping forward of a major talent. Co-produced with Grammy-winner Noah Georgeson (Joanna Newsom, Cate Le Bon, Marlon Williams), the album is an ornately melodic, folk/dream-pop universe, carried by Mooney’s soaring ethereal vocals over lush, cinematic soundscapes.

TAPESTRY ROAD are based in the Northern Rivers with Bobbie Goddard - Lead Vocals Judd Brennand - guitars and vocals, and Julian Smith - Bass, vocals and Flute. With soulful harmonies and emotive guitar they’ll take you on a journey with their original tunes and renditions of the wonderful songs that we all know and love.
