A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR MAIN STAGE PERFOMERS…
Melbourne musician Gena Rose Bruce is a lover of sad-eyed, bluesy pop with a touch of twang. Gena writes honest songs with a bit of reverb creating that 90’s dream West Coast sound. Her intoxicating and heart felt live performances leave audiences full of longing.
Whether it’s heritage, hope or insanity that fuels them, Sydney-based Bad Pony simply do not stop. With four national tours under their belt and three international showcases (Singapore’s Music Matters - 2016, Canadian Music Week - 2017, SXSW - 201), Bad Pony have spent most of their career together on the road, not to mention having independently released four self-produced singles, all with national radio success.
