ARTISTS 30/70 Melbourne has a lot to answer for – admire the city’s music scene from afar and surrender to the allure of its versatility and sense of adventure. Fronted by Allysha Joy, 30/70 are the latest collective to emerge from this buzzing nucleus. Lovingly referred to as a community rather than a band, 30/70 is a quintet of musical splendour made up of Joy, Ziggy Ruckman, Henry Hicks, Thomas Mansfield and Jarrod Chase that swells up to an 11-piece ensemble when desired. The sound of 30/70 is a cosmic melange of boom-bap dynamics, neo-soul harmonies and jazz-funk licks, all steeped in a deep spiritual tradition reaching from Alice Coltrane to Kamasi Washington. Their forthcoming record, Elevate, enlists production from Hiatus Kaiyote’s Paul Bender, resulting in something of an eloquent statement. At once a cry for help and a call to arms, the LP balances delicate poetry and potent aggression with ease. Their second studio album since 2015’s Cold Radish Coma, is set to elevate them onto the international stage. Under Wondercore Island’s management (Hiatus Kaiyote, Oscar Key Sung, Daniel Merriweather) and with the help of Bradley Zero’s label, Rhythm Section International, 30/70 are ready to take their message from Northcote to the world. Playing: Friday - Hippos Stage - 7:45pm

A L LY S H A J O Y Allysha Joy brings exactly what her name suggests, through her gift of song and looseness of play, with honesty radiating from within. Her music is an exploration of jazz, soul and hip hop. Representing a fresh new sound coming only from Melbourne and expressing her heartfelt songs of change and love through the female gaze. Known for fronting Melbourne hip-hop and soul collective 30/70, Allysha Joy felt the need to further challenge her expression in a project of her own. Pushing boundaries as a keys player, poet, singer and producer with the support of her 30/70 brothers and sisters. Whether performing solo on Fender Rhodes or accompanied by her band, featuring members of the 30/70 rhythm section, Allysha’s steady groove, husky vocal tone and unique style of writing emanates truth and talent. Allysha Joy has performed alongside acts such as Sampa The Great, Man Made Mountain, MKO and Simon Mavin of Hiatus Kaiyote. She also performed as a feature artist at the 20th anniversary of Stones Throw Records and at both the Stonnington Jazz Festival and the Melbourne International Jazz Festival.

ANDIE Armed with her ’63 Mustang, and sultry vocal chords, Katoomba abiding cherub Andie will steal your heart, boggle your mind and untie your shoelaces. Heavily influenced by jazz, soul and 80s progrock, she uses complex chords, time signatures and syncopation to lull her audience before yanking them right back out with her abrasively honest lyrics. At the ripe old age of 20, Andie has taken her tunes to Woodford Folk, The National Folk Festival and The Blue Mountains Music Festival countless times.

ARTISTS ANDREA ROBERTSON Local singer/songwriter, Andrea Robertson, has an innate ability to fuse soulfulblues, folk and country with a dash of rockabilly; cleverly and tastefully bringing together the old and the new, and creating a delicious treat for music lovers along the way. Her songs range from the stomping, toe-tapping variety through to bluesinfluenced ballads with an appealing, slightly vintage vibe, and are a reflection of what life brings along in both the ordinary and extraordinary. Andrea’s much-anticipated second album, masterfully mixed by local sound engineer, Nick Huggins (A Pocket Full Of Stones Studio), is due for release this November. Recipient of a 2017 QMF Emerging Artist Grant.

THE BAMBOOS Founded in Melbourne in 2000 by bandleader, producer and main songwriter Lance Ferguson, eight-piece powerhouse The Bamboos have continually redefined Australian soul music and continue their reputation as harbingers of musical evolution. With five ARIA Awards under their belt, the outfit has long been regarded as one of Australia’s best live bands, regardless of genre. In 2012, they collaborated with Tim Rogers to create the timeless hit, I Got Burned, which reached #54 on the triple j Hottest 100. In 2015, Rogers and The Bamboos returned with follow-up LP, The Rules Of Attraction, marking their 15th year as a performing band. Over the years, the outfit has proved more than onedimensional – collaborations with vocalists like Aloe Blacc,

Megan Washington and Daniel Merriweather proof of their versatility. Increasingly multi-talented, lead vocalist Kylie Auldist has also worked with funk collective Cookin’ On 3 Burners, spurring standout 2009 track, This Girl, in the process. After lauded French producer Kungs applied his electronic decorations in 2016, This Girl immersed radio airwaves across the world. Amid a glut of revivalists, The Bamboos have carved out a signature sound that embraces classic and current influences whilst weaving them into something brand new altogether.

T H E B E AU T I F U L G I R L S- L E A R N YO U R S E L F & MORNING SUN 15TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW ‘Raw, spooky, rootsy, punky, reggae, dubby’ – these are some of the ways the music of The Beautiful Girls has been described. And in 2017 & 2018, they’re taking it all the way back to the sonic beginnings to celebrate anniversaries of their two seminal releases Morning Sun and Learn Yourself. Periscopes, Music, Blackbird and LaMar, amazing performances all over the planet, the voice of Mat McHugh, heart-on-thesleeve songs, pioneering Australia’s surf-roots-reggae sounds; these are things fans worldwide think of when they think of The Beautiful Girls. Now Mat has decided to strip back the performances to their original essence – the striking three-piece sound which first brought the band to attention fifteen years ago.

First stop on the Morning Sun/Learn Yourself Tour will be Europe where the band built a base early in its career. Now, after over 5 years absence, the trio returns to reconnect with fans. To celebrate the anniversaries of these two releases, both will be available on vinyl and CD with bonus material which will be issued across the continent with special playlists being curated for download and streaming services.

BEC GORING Amidst a new wave of avant-garde Australian troubadours singing for the hardships and stuff-ups of the 21st Century, Bec Goring fills audiences with her sweet vocals backed by a neverending bag of blues infused riffery. An electrifying guitarist and singer/songwriter whose music blurs the boundaries between blues and soul, hailed ‘an incredibly accomplished guitarist’ by internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Mia Dyson. It’s not at all surprising that audiences are craving more after her stellar single Weekend.

ARTISTS BECCY COLE Country songstress Beccy Cole has delighted Australian listeners and concert-goers for more than twenty years. The Adelaide-born star’s glowing warmth, honeyed voice and bawdy sense of humour have helped make Cole one of the nation’s best-loved and most celebrated artists. Friendly and approachable, Cole’s enjoyed an array of industry success – nine Golden Guitars, multiple ARIA top 10 country albums and more than a dozen #1 Australian country singles just the start. Her most recent LP, 2015’s Sweet Rebecca follows hot on the heels of Cole’s phenomenal 2014 collaboration with Melinda Schneider, Great Women of Country. From its opening bars, the album rings with bittersweet reminiscence and introspection. Mandolin chimes, lowdown guitar thrums, while piano accordion breathes the soft haze of memory into the mix. Throughout her career, Cole has toured with the likes of Slim Dusty, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers and Glen Campbell. Yet one of the most important experiences of Cole’s career was her watershed tour of military bases in Iraq and the Middle East in December 2005. After receiving criticism for her stance on the war in Iraq following the tour, Cole penned arguably her most successful song, triple Golden Guitar-winning Poster Girl.

B E R N A R D FA N N I N G As an artist in continuous motion, Bernard Fanning has accumulated one of the most celebrated and distinct songbooks on the Australian rock spectrum. With his solo career now spanning 10-plus years, Fanning has firmly cemented his position as one of Australia’s finest songwriters and lyricists. From the country folk-tinged charm of his multiplatinum debut solo album Tea and Sympathy (#1 ARIA debut) the rock grooves and horn breaks of its follow up Departures (#1 ARIA debut) to his current and 3rd record, the exquisitely crafted 2016 ARIA Award winning LP Civil Dusk. Civil Dusk was recorded at the stunning La Cueva Studios, the new custom built studio Fanning created in NSW’s Byron Bay with long-time producer and friend Nick DiDia (Powderfinger, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine). Recording with DiDia finished up over Easter 2016, and the result is some of Fanning’s finest work: themes of decisions and consequence are characterised by a sense of warmth, space and the earthy feel of acoustic guitar, piano, strings and violin. Part one of a series of two albums, in May, Civil Dusk was joined by follow-up LP Brutal Dawn. Rounding out the storyline, the album displays a level of realism bordering on cynicism. Morose in his ponderings, Fanning details narratives of heartbreak, loss and regret throughout. Every song brings something different to the table – Shed My Skin permeates a contemporary violin melody with the songwriter’s classic acoustic roots sound. As a contrast, Isn’t It A Pity serves a full band sound and an upbeat rhythm juxtaposed by disheartened lyrics – it’s a beautiful paradox. Sparkling with talent, Brutal Dawn enlists help from Clare Bowditch, Midnight Oil’s Rob Hurst and more.

BLACK RABBIT GEORGE From the wellspring of childish fantasy and a lifetime of musical evolution emerges the Black Rabbit. This is the story-telling talent of Paul A George, the musician whose guitar drives the unique sounds of Tijuana Cartel, one of the tightest and most sought-after bands on the Australian festival circuit. If Tijuana Cartel ever lacked anything for its guitarist and vocalist, then it was the open door to a subconscious demand to tell stories – any stories – with the strings of a guitar and the words of a born storyteller. Black Rabbit George is the culmination of a need that could not be resisted forever. “Tijuana Cartel remains a core driving force in my life and I’d never want to leave it behind,” says the Black Rabbit. “But at the same time I want to follow a path that embraces the great loves in my life: my guitar and the wealth of stories that life simply places in your way.” Indeed, the Black Rabbit’s first solo track, Muse, is a melodic and emotional ode to his first great love: his guitar.

BOB EVANS Bob Evans, the ARIA winning alter ego of Jebediah frontman Kevin Mitchell, has decorated the Australian music scene with artless folk pop for more than two decades. Mitchell is a self-confessed romantic who has written some of the country’s most beloved songs. Under the alias of Bob Evans, Mitchell has released five albums, all of which showcase the versatility and skill of this talented songsmith. Gentle, acoustic melodies prevail, enveloping the classic folk storytelling and strong emotional pull that characterises Mitchell’s substantial body of work. Recorded in Sydney with acclaimed producer Tony Buchen (Montaigne), Bob Evans’ most recent album Car Boot Sale is surprisingly simple yet ornate. The LP received a 2016 ARIA nomination for Best Adult Contemporary Album and solidified Mitchell’s perpetual songwriting prowess. On top of that, Bob Evans has achieved awards for Best Male Artist in Rolling Stone Australia’s 2007 annual reader poll and was a finalist for the Australian Music Prize in the same year. The moniker’s second studio release, Suburban Songbook, garnered a 2006 ARIA for Best Adult Contemporary Album. Behind timeless tracks Nowhere Without You and Don’t You Think It’s Time?, Queenscliff Music Festival will become a wonderland of acoustic bliss when Bob Evans graces the stage.

ARTISTS CAITI BAKER Having just released new album Zinc in October, Darwin singer/ songwriter Caiti Baker is coming in hot for Queenscliff Music Festival. Speaking of her most inspired release yet, Baker says, “Zinc is an album that has ultimately taken my life, up until now, to produce. It’s a collection of songs I’ve put together with producers James Mangohig and Michael Hohnen with some help from my blues musician father Greg Baker. The songs are inspired by the crunch of sampled guitar riffs, bangin’ hip hop production, menacing double bass, my love of singing and arranging harmonies and it focuses on topics such as identity, love, ego and the current geopolitical state of the world. I’m so unbelievably proud of Zinc and cannot wait to tour it live”

ARTISTS DIDIRRI With gentle disposition and threadbare six-string, Didirri’s bittersweet melodies tumble between the bookends of his own biography. Spinning tales of joy and sorrow, his presence consumes listeners into the belly of contemplation, and washes the room with silence. Hailing from Warrnambool, Didirri was born the son of a painter and a children’s performer. Singing in church on Sundays established Didirri’s rhythmic bed and inspired him to learn piano from an early age. Upon his arrival to Melbourne, he picked up the guitar and founded an ambient-folk act as a platform for his narrative. Often underscored by double bass, fiddle and electric guitar, collectively they are as effervescent as they are deftly reserved. His unusual Northcote dwelling, spattered with curious relics, is an unassuming shed behind his communal home – a sanctuary apart from the saturated humdrum of modernity. His recording space – an assembly of guitars, keyboards, synthesizers and an air traffic control microphone feed into a bulky eight-track tape recorder. Drawing influences from the genius of Joni Mitchell, Glen Hansard, Jeff Buckley, Stephen Fry and Tina Fey, he is reluctant to seek shelter beneath the arrangements of symmetrical songwriting.

THE EAST POINTERS (CAN) There’s a reason, beyond their dazzling musicianship and wildly entertaining live shows, that The East Pointers have connected with audiences right across the globe, making new, original roots music the hippest, most vibrant thing going. The reason? the outfit, made up of fiddler/singer Tim Chaisson, banjoist Koady Chaisson and guitarist Jake Charron, write about real life, sketching out its joys and sorrows in vivid strokes. That palpable authenticity makes their instrumental tunes practically cartwheel and infuses their lyric-driven songs with poignancy. And it’s why listening to The East Pointers’ brilliant and hotly anticipated second album What We Leave Behind – produced by superstar East Coast-bred songwriter/producer Gordie Sampson – is akin to meeting up with an old friend.

ARTISTS G A B R I E L G A R Z Ó N - M O N TA N O (USA ) On his debut 2017 LP, Jardín, Gabriel Garzón Montano sings of the struggles and uncertainties of today’s complex American world, from the specific doubt and double consciousness of first generation hustle, to the universal challenges of love and legacy. A child of Brooklyn, Garzón-Montano’s aesthetic is an extension of his French-Colombian heritage, with fusions of Bach sonatas, cumbia records, and machine gun funk lathering his music. His mother, a member of the Philip Glass ensemble in the ‘90s, instilled him with a painstaking attention to detail. Soon after the 2014 release of his debut EP, Bishouné: Alma del Huila, Garzón-Montano was invited to join rock legend Lenny Kravitz on the road. Immediately following the whirlwind 23-date tour, he received news his song 6 8 would be sampled on Drake’s track, Jungle. In 2016, he returned to New York’s Waterfront Studios to record Jardín with his mentor, Henry Hirsch. Garzón-Montano tracked drums, bass, guitar, piano, and synthesizers direct to 2” tape. A lush sonic environment would manifest recalling a contemporary, streetwise Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants. Bringing his eclectic pop to Australia for the first time for Queenscliff Music Festival, you’ll be battling the crowds to see Garzón-Montano up close.

ARTISTS HARLEY BREEN Harley Breen has blown away audiences from the Melbourne to Edinburgh to India. Regularly headlining around Australia, Harley has won over a legion of fans with his accessible and relatable comedy. Consistently unpredictable, Breen’s sets seamlessly move from side-splitting material about the foibles of being a new-age dad to dodgy tales of his beloved old Kingswood; all without missing a beat. He projects the immediately recognisable and relatable image of the unpretentious Aussie male. Harley doesn’t just use his instant likeability as a platform to deliver solid, topical material, he also gets beneath the nature of things to create a true bond with all his audience and deliver an experience that will be talked about long after the gig is over. He’s more than just a popular act though; with praise also coming from his peers in the form of the peer awarded Comic’s Choice Award in 2011. Harley is also one of a select handful of comics chosen to tour around Australia as part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow. Harley will be joining Demi Lardner, Ivan Aristeguieta and Nath Valvo as part of the Queenscliff Music Festival Comedy Show.

H AT F I T Z & C A R A Hat Fitz & Cara can in no way be mistaken for a dainty duo. They are festival favourites throughout Canada, America, Australia, Europe, and the UK and it has been said they pack more energy into one song than most have in an entire career. A unique combination of hill-style Gospel blues with old timey flavourings and stripped down to just voices, guitar and vintage drums, Hat Fitz & Cara embellish impeccable Rootsy originals with soulful vocals reminiscent of a time once forgotten. Launching their fourth album, ‘After The Rain’ is a unique vintage sound that these two have created themselves yet it is packed with a modern punch that cannot be denied once seen live. “This album shows this couple at the peak of their creative powers - soaring soul vocals, visceral blues guitar, unexpected quiet, and sudden changes in feel and tempo. A masterful blend of roar and nuance”.

HE AT H RO B E RTSON Heath Robertson is a 16-year-old multiinstrumentalist (guitar, bass, drums and saxophone) who has been playing music for as long as he can remember. Starting out on drums, he then had a handful of guitar lessons with local artist Beau Torrance (formerly of The Rustys), which inspired him to develop his own bluesbased style of guitar work and start writing his own songs. His music is a fusion of surf rock and blues with catchy guitar licks and solid beats inspired by music of a bygone era.

H OT P OTATO BA N D The Hot Potato Band found their roots and musical inspiration in Sydney’s southern suburbs as street performers running over 120 shows a year all around Australia. Combining world influences such as ska, blues, afro-cuban, pop, reggae and folk into a New Orleans inspired brass band with an Australian edge may classify the band as ‘multi-genre’, however, the constant joy they bring to audiences leave many suggesting a new genre of ‘Happy’. Beware, as they make you the centre of their performance… literally! The bands unique sound comes from the absence of a single drum kit, bass guitar and electrified instruments. Three drummers create synchronised grooves on what would be a deconstructed drum kit. Anything could happen! Known to cause a severe case of happy fever, this 11-piece brass band is sure to put a smile on your face in an incredibly unique live show. The Hot Potato Band have become one of the most celebrated street and stage performing bands in Australia. Playing: Friday - Glaneuse Stage - 8:15pm | Saturday - Hippos Stage - 8:30pm

HUSSY HICKS Almost 10 years after the release of their debut album Hussy Hicks are back with their fifth full length offering, On the Boundaries. A departure from their trademark live sounding records, this album sees the Hussy Hicks experiment with their sound and production to create something familiar yet fresh. It’s the Hussy Hicks embracing a different creative approach and the results are nothing short of stunning. Hussy Hicks have made a name for themselves locally and on the international stage the old fashioned way – not through a YouTube video gone viral or a Facebook post shared thousands of times, but by playing their music and connecting with audiences one passionate performance at a time. It’s not just their talent and musical chemistry that set Hussy Hicks apart – but that they approach every show and every song with the intention of playing music for the absolute joy of it. Their passion is infectious.

Playing together for six years, the duo has honed their signature sound, a kaleidoscopic burst of psychotropic, dreamy dance music. Their use of layering and build-ups to intensify the hefty bass drop has festival crowds buzzing. They’ve toured extensively performing at festivals including Glastonbury, Boomtown , Fusion Festival, ArtsWells, Katuaq, Falls Festival and Luminate. The Imprints released their new album Midnight Sun in August 2017 and have recently toured Canada in celebration of their new release.

I VA N A R I S T E G U I E TA In 2012 Ivan migrated from Venezuela to Adelaide and took up the challenge of performing comedy in a second language.

Their first single ‘Change’ shot to number 1 on the triple j Unearthed charts, not even a week from being out into the world. “A phenomenal voice that’s beautifully backed by a sublime band and beat.

JAMES FRANKLIN James Franklin’s music can be defined as attitude-packed soul pop. Whilst love and joy is predominant in Franklin’s music, he is also the perfect example of why you should always be nice to a songwriter. If not, you might just be the victim of his next song.” Soul pop Artist James Franklin started performing at age 15 in small cafes and bars around Melbourne. Since then, he has gone on to perform over 300 shows including performances with 5 Seconds Of Summer, Joan Osborne, shows in the U.K/Europe and most recently, a tour of the USA.

J A Z Z PA R T Y Late nights, flickering neon, blue smoke and beer-fuelled dance freak-outs over a gravely wailing saxophone – this is Jazz Party. It’s Melbourne’s Monday night secret society led by former saxophonist and songwriter of Clairy Browne & The Bangin Rackettes, Darcy McNulty, and supreme diva and ex-Rackette, Loretta Miller. After moving to Melbourne, McNulty effortlessly integrated into the Melbourne’s live jazz world. It’s a throng doused with incredible talent, yet McNulty found a niche in the need for spontaneity and recklessness in music. Growing wildly from the lounge rooms of late night house parties to month-long Monday night residencies throughout the city, the past four years have seen Jazz Party hold court at many of Melbourne’s most electrifying venues. Jazz Party perform McNulty’s original material as well as some classic jazz and everything else in between. Whether they’re setlist is decorated by Tom Waits ballads, Calypso slow jams or Prince bangers, Jazz Party pride themselves on their extemporaneity and true originality.

AARr tTi IsSt sT S JON CLEARY & THE ABSOLUTE MONSTER GENTLEMEN (USA) Beyond Cleary’s considerable skills as a tunesmith he is equally renowned around the globe as an accomplished keyboardist and guitarist, and a deeply soulful vocalist. Cleary’s thirty-five years of intensive hands-on work on the Crescent City scene has made him a respected peer of such New Orleans R&B icons as Dr. John and Allen Toussaint. Toussaint, in fact, took time from his busy schedule to write most of the horn arrangements for GoGo Juice – thus bringing symmetry to Cleary’s recording of an entire album of Toussaint songs, entitled Occapella, which garnered rave reviews in 2012. In addition to the Toussaint touch, GoGo Juice bursts full flavor, with expert accompaniment by some of New Orleans’ top session men – including guitarist Shane Theriot, fellow keyboardist and vocalist Nigel Hall, and the Dirty Dozen horns – along with members of Cleary’s band, the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. In praise of Cleary’s chemistry with this latter group, the eminent music journalist David Fricke of Rolling Stone declared that, “Cleary can be an absolute monster on his own, but Cleary’s full combo R&B is as broad, deep and roiling as the Mississippi River, the combined swinging product of local keyboard.”

A RATrItSi sT tSs LINDI ORTEGA (CAN) When Lindi Ortega went in search of some quiet last year, the award-winning artist was pleasantly surprised to find a voice she hadn’t heard in some time – her own. Amid sparse, atmospheric production, it’s precisely this voice – a combination of Ortega’s fatalistic perspective expressed with her evocative soprano – that grips your attention on a brand new EP, Til The Goin’ Gets Gone. A dogged resilience permeates this unadorned collection – three originals and a cover of Townes Van Zandt’s Waiting ‘Round To Die. The songs are the hard-won spoils of an internal war with words that struck after an extended stretch of touring, addressed in the EP’s title track about the detours and ditches that a traveling musician faces. Ortega’s guitar-playing chops and innate country music instincts put her in an elite group of artists; she has earned an unusually inclusive type of success with both indie cred and mainstream country recognition. From supporting Carrie Underwood at the CMA Awards to her opening slot on Chris Stapleton’s recent Canadian arena tour, Ortega is a sought-after and unique personality in Nashville’s music community and beyond.

THE TEMPER TRAP It’s been an adventurous few years for The Temper Trap with over a million albums sold, arena supports with Coldplay and the Rolling Stones and stage slots at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and Coachella. Flashing back to where it began, 2009 saw the outfit announce themselves to the world behind timeless keepsake Sweet Disposition. It created a height of expectation but wouldn’t constrain their capabilities on stunning debut album, Conditions. Years of worldwide touring ensued and so did the loss of Lorenzo Sillitto in 2013. The once five-piece had to adapt to it’s new four-sided polygonal figure. For the first time they looked to collaborate with outside figures – Malay (Frank

Ocean) and Justin Parker (Lana Del Rey, Sia) are just a few names to have lent their services. The same year, a studio for imagination and design was built in North London and so album three would arise. In 2016, 11 tracks were unearthed to shape their first album since 2012, Thick As Thieves. An admirable return to form saw electronic vestiges buttress a very much guitar-driven record. After a string of homecoming dates in 2017, The Temper Trap will be bring a specially curated, exclusive, performance to Queenscliff Music Festival.

Written by all four band members, the album was self-produced in their own studio and released independently. Listening to the record youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be forgiven for thinking it was the work of Stax Records alumni in Memphis circa â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;67 and not that of a group of twenty-somethings from the Yarra Valley.

Since its release the band has earned a strong live following throughout Australia and they are in dynamite live form. Not to be missed at QMF 2017!

ARTISTS TOO MANY ZOOZ (USA ) At the 2016 CMA Awards, a sound burst from the stage like an earthquake. Beyoncé performed Daddy Lessons accompanied by Dixie Chicks and Too Many Zooz – the New York City trio which originally recorded the song on the star’s Lemonade. Too Many Zooz’s baritone saxophonist Leo Pellegrino, trumpeter Matt Doe, and drummer King of Sludge held Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena stage for mere minutes – a moment which went viral and forged a booming fascination. The outfit’s manic music, dubbed ‘BrassHouse’ by drummer King of Sludge, is an irresistible summoning genres, EDM, house, techno, and glitch, paired to the indigenous punch of Cuban, Afro-Cuban, Caribbean, and Brazilian Carnival rhythms. Marvels of simplicity born of musical complexity. “Our music is a democracy,” Doe says. “From the start, we were all bouncing off each other, listening to each other and not thinking too much.” This will be something special.

X AV I E R R U D D Since the very beginning, Xavier Rudd’s ability to connect with people has been his most powerful gift. The more he has toured the world, the more hearts he has touched and the more of the world he has put back into his music. Enthralling audiences with his multi-instrumentation, Rudd’s 2002 debut album, To Let, introduced a sound that was a mix of guitars, yidakis (didgeridoos), stomp box and percussion, blues harp and vocals. Between 2005 and 2010, Rudd would release another four albums and solidify his musical versatility. Food in the Belly incorporated a range of genres, from reggae to world music to rock. White Moth arrived in 2007 and garnered attention worldwide. Gritty, dark and introspective, 2008’s Dark Shades of Blue would be Rudd’s most adventurous musical foray upon its release.

Yet after ten years, it was 2012 when fans were exposed to Rudd’s most triumphant album, Spirit Bird. Led by the wonderfully delicate Follow The Sun, the LP captured the most beautiful aspects of his voice, his songs and his spirit. From there, Rudd would form his first-ever full band, the United Nations, on top of a sprawling two-hour live set which has captivated fans the world over.

WELCOME 2017

W E L C O M E TO T H E 2 0 1 7 Q U E E N S C L I F F M U S I C F E S T I VA L Last year was a huge success for Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF) and we celebrated our 20th anniversary in great style. Not only was it the first time we have sold out prior to the festival weekend, but QMF also won the Victorian Tourism Award in the Festivals & Events category for 2016. Most importantly, the feedback we received from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival attendees was overwhelmingly positive, and this has been reflected in record ticket sales for 2017, with the festival again sold out prior to the festival weekend. Your feedback is important to us, and we review each and every survey so that we can continue to improve your festival experience. This year, in addition to another great line-up of both international and Australian artists, we have focused on revamping the site, creating more open space and easier movement between venues, improved seating and bar facilities, and streamlining the drink tickets process. You will notice in 2017, we have also introduced scanning of wristbands on exit from the main festival site. This will help us gather important data on numbers of people within the site, to assist with emergency management and support future planning. We are actively pursuing a carbon neutral festival, and have initiated a number of site improvements designed to reduce our carbon footprint. In addition to power and sewerage enhancements to the site, we are stepping up our focus on recycling. To help us recycle as much waste as possible over the weekend, we seek your assistance by using the bins as marked, as this will stop contaminated recyclables ending up as landfill. The success of our festival is primarily due to the fantastic work of our energetic festival director, Andrew Orvis and his team, Lee Rosser, Vivien Fogarty, and Louise Roberts. Andrew and his team work tirelessly throughout the year to ensure the festival maintains high standards, meets community expectations, and introduces new and varied experiences. Supported by a small band of volunteers who provide year round support, the number of volunteers over the weekend swells to well over 400. We are indebted to our volunteers, many of whom have qualified for 5, 10, 15 and 20 years of service. You will see our many volunteers across the weekend wearing their Q-Crew T-shirts, they are there to assist you, as required.

Producing a financial surplus is an important element for the sustainability of QMF. This means being able to confidently run the Festival each year and plan for the future, being able to contribute to long term infrastructure for Lower Princess Park, (good for QMF and good to attract new events to Queenscliff) and make a contribution back to the Queenscliff community. Part of our festival surplus together with the generous donations provided by our Friends of the Festival, goes to supporting local emerging artists, and we are pleased to announce that for 2017 the Emerging Artist Grant, now in its seventh year, has been awarded to Andrea Robertson and The Refuge, both of whom are playing over the weekend. I hope you can give them your support by going to their gigs at the Festival. We also have a number of partnerships with community groups to provide services to the festival where they have the capacity and capability to do so. In this way, our festival provides important fundraising opportunities for various community groups. Our sincere thanks must also go to our sponsors, all of whom are listed within the program. Their support is invaluable, and we ask that you support them where you can. Particular thanks must go to our major sponsors Visit Victoria, Searoad Ferries, and the Borough of Queenscliffe. A special Happy Birthday to Searoad Ferries who celebrated their 30th Birthday this year. We firmly believe that the headline act for QMF is Queenscliff itself, a truly wonderful part of the world, with much to see and enjoy. I hope you have a great time here in Queenscliff over the weekend, and see enough of the town and its surrounds to encourage you to come back at another time and enjoy some of the other benefits Queenscliff has to offer. In 2018, QMF will be working on new Winter Weekend events in June & July, so we look forward to welcoming you back to our beautiful town then! On behalf of the QMF Board, welcome to QMF 2017 and thank you for your ongoing support.
