About this concert
Tim Freedman's alt-country project The Whitlams Black Stump sees him and longtime drummer Terepai Richmond joined by an A Team of roots musicians, reconstructing the best of The Whitlams' repertoire with a smattering of new songs and classic Americana.The five piece band features Rod McCormack and Matt Fell, two CMAA Producers of the Year, on banjo and bass, and young gun Ollie Thorpe on electric and pedal steel guitar.The mid 2022 single "The Day John Sattler Broke His Jaw" became a staple on Country radio, as did the follow up, a reworking of The Whitlams JJJ Hot 100 no. 1, “No Aphrodisiac”, which Countrytown called "a three-minute banjo-fied instant classic". With the debut album "Kookaburra" out in March, the band is gearing up for a big year, with a national tour and main stage appearances scheduled at Bluesfest, Gympie Muster, and Savannah in the Round.With Support from Runaway Belles

Runaway Belles Biography
Runaway Belles is a Tasmanian indie folk pop act featuring Tash Parker and Emma Anglesey. With a focus on uplifting storytelling and gorgeous harmonies, Runaway Belles offer something unique. Described by Tone Deaf as “A harmony of indie-folk brilliance”, Tash and Emma’s voices are almost inseparable -- even their mothers can’t tell who’s singing.
In May 2020, Runaway Belles released their first single The Weekend which was hailed by Music Feeds as “Tender indie-folk at its finest”. The song has surpassed 130,000 Spotify streams and their follow up b-side release Don’t Forget Monday in July 2020 has clocked just under 200,000 streams. In October 2020, Runaway Belles released another single Flames which went to Number #1 on the AMRAP Regional Chart.
A Tasmanian festival favourite, Mona’s 42 Days of Music Marathon describes Runaway Belles as “Sunshiney acoustic indie-folk with flawless harmonies. Like, proper flawless.” As Runaway Belles, Tash and Emma have been invited to play local festivals including Dark Mofo, Mona Foma, Mona’s 42 Days of Music Marathon, A festival called Panama, Festival of Voices and Party In The Paddock. Runaway Belles are only just being discovered further afield with The Woodford Planting Festival in Queensland programming them for their 2019 Festival.
