This show will bring together musicians from Melbourne, Darwin, Sydney and the US, for a night of folk, country, bluegrass and maybe a little pop.

Leah Flanagan is a singer-songwriter from Darwin, NT (although currently living in Sydney). The Sydney Morning Herald have called her “equal parts Lucinda Williams and Shirley Bassey” while The Brag said “with a smooth and soulful voice that erupts with emotion after each and every line, Leah Flanagan is an undiscovered gem in the Australian music scene”.

Leah has a new single out called Everything which you can check out at her website www.leahflanagan.com.au and she will be playing a solo show for us on Oct 1st.

One Up, Two Down are a folk-trio featuring some of the folk scenes most heralded young musicians including George Jackson, Daniel Watkins and American Andrew Small. They released a lovely EP last year and will be touring the country again in October/November. Check out their EP at oneuptwodown.bandcamp.com and a video of them performing here:

Fanny Lumsden joins us from Sydney, where she has been building a reputation as their local darling of alt-country. Check her out Live at Cleveland’s here:

We have also added Ryan Downey to the line up this week as a special guest. He is touring with Luluc in Nov/Dec and struck a chord with us instantly when we heard his music a few weeks ago. Get in early for his set and take a listen in advance here: https://venice-music.bandcamp.com/
