The Jackson Four is a jazz and cool blues Hammond quartet. They have been impressing audiences across Australia and internationally since 2013 with their swinging jazz, cool blues and infectious New Orleans beats.

Dr Crask and his Swingin Elixir are a small band playing music from the '30s and '40s.

They play swing tunes which are guaranteed to get you up and dancing with Lindy Hop in mind. They have a 4-piece rhythm section and a 3-piece horn section, together with the smooth vocals of Jen Salisbury.



Thando is a Zimbabwean born singer who has been performing around Australia with an electric presence and strong vocals. Her ability to tell a story takes her audience on a journey of reflection.
