Tina Harrod & mr. percival & Mei Lai Swan (support)

“A dark-hued, womanly voice; assured in pitch and as powerful as a train when called upon, it also has little chinks of vulnerability, so one feels wooed by it.” (John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald).

Tina Harrod’s stunning second solo album ‘Worksongs’ proves she is equally at home channelling the power and emotion of jazz greats like Nina Simone and Billie Holiday as she is in more familiar soul terrain. And she does so with such impeccable intuition and raw feeling that it takes your breath away. Tina and her stellar band are proud to announce the release of this eagerly awaited album. Vocals - Tina Harrod, Piano - Matt McMahon, Bass - Jonathan Zwartz, Drums – Hamish Stuart “Harrod deserves supernova status.” (Qantas Magazine)

Much more than a singer, mr. percival is a vocal artist and innovator - he paints with his voice using a loop-pedal to create incredibly rich soundscapes and sublime grooves.

Live, 'Out Of The Loop' is created in front of you with the human voice and a looping machine. "I have performed this show to all sorts of audiences from all over the world. The reaction is always intense and resounding. People are amazed at first and then inevitably join me on the ride. Its always a thrill to see people engaging with my music."

His beautiful album 'Out of the Loop' is the product of 20 years spent performing live and exploring the power of the human voice including studying under his mentor Bobby McFerrin and singing for James Morrison. mr. percival is art for the ears.

Mei Lai Swan - The branding ‘unique’ is bandied about far too often when it comes to musicians and the art they practice – but in the case of cellist and songstress Mei Lai Swan it’s entirely appropriate.

Originally from Melbourne, she moved to Alice Springs for what was supposed to be a brief stint in the desert and more than two years later has the red dirt stuck under her fingernails and can’t seem to leave. Instead she has emerged onto the national music scene with a stunning debut EP titled ‘The Morning Tree’. A collection of 6 and a half songs that travel effortlessly back and forth between genres, with arrangements including full strings, horns and breakbeats, ‘it is the lush sound of the cello and her unique captivating voice that make Mei Lai’s music so enticing’ (Triple J Unearthed). The depth and enchanting quality of her lyrical music is grounded in a love of songwriting, a gift for the unexpected and a keen sense for just being human.

Saruzu with Special Guest Kacey Patrick & Hannah Macklin & Steve Newcomb (support)

A fiery flamenco-tango-jazz ensemble, Saruzu's interpretation of the rich harmonies of Argentine tango, the wild improvisations of gypsy jazz and the fire and grace of flamenco, is exhilarating. Evocative of a 1920's Paris cafe scene filtered through an edgy and contemporary sensibility, Saruzu is a celebration of the musical passions of its members - renowned violinist Luke Moller, sensual flamenco dancer and fiery percussionist Simone Pope, ferociously cool jazz bass player Andrew Shaw and laid back guitar virtuoso Andrew Veivers.

Two of Queensland's emerging jazz superstars have formed a tantalizing creative partnership exploring jazz, soul and electro-pop, with an emphasis on new sounds, lyrical intent and playful interaction.
