Hat Fitz & Cara
Hat Fitz & Cara’s musical style is a unique combination of hill-style Gospel blues with old time flavourings. This husband and wife duo embellishes impeccable rootsy originals with soulful vocals reminiscent of a time once forgotten. Hat Fitz is a “veteran” wild man of the blues scene in Australia. He has a record 18 straight appearances at Byron’s East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, a record that is not likely to ever be broken, and one which bears testimony to his amazing live performances and popularity with festival goers. Cara draws on her soul background (she’s toured Europe and the United States with singers such as Jamiroquai and Corinne Bailey-Rae), and although blessed with a sensational voice she was not content to be labelled as ‘just a singer’. She has taken to drumming duties as well as washboards, flute and tin whistle, sometimes all at once. Together this pair will take you on a musical journey with ample, boisterous highs, and longing, bluesy lows. From the Australian outback to the Canadian shield, Hat Fitz & Cara put on a show that is guaranteed to energize and invigorate. "Simple, powerful, full of the inherent realism we've come to expect from these two, a stellar effort." - Samuel J. Fell (Rhythms / Rolling Stone).

Formidable VegetablePossibly the only band to promote the joys of vegetable gardening, chicken-raising and compost through dance music, Formidable Vegetable Sound System are the world’s most successful experiment in ecological electro-funk-swing. With epic live shows consisting of antique beets, ukulele quirk, strings and hyperactive horns, the band has only one goal: to pound simple solutions for sustainability deep into your consciousness in the funkiest way possible.
Having made it into every corner of the globe over the past four years from the UK's Glastonbury Festival to the UN headquarters in Rome, Formidable Vegetable Sound System is paving the way through their special brand of musical activism towards simple solutions to some of the worlds’ biggest problems and are rapidly becoming a favourite on the Australian and international festival circuit, having played alongside Fat Freddy’s Drop, Radiohead and The Rolling Stones.
Realising that music is one of the best tools for bringing about cultural change, Formidable Vegetable Sound System frontman, Charlie Mgee has dedicated his musical mission to composing swingin’ tunes on a ukulele about plants, peak-oil and permaculture to inspire everyone to create the world they want to live in starting with their own front yards.
