PICK FROM THE BEST MUSICIANS
THE SHIRE HAS TO OFFER
01 — Five-piece band · Byron Bay
Creme Fraiche
Creme Fraiche is a collective of musicians from the Northern Rivers, blending blues, funk, and jazz into a dynamic sonic fusion. From laid-back lounge grooves to deep dancefloor belters, this improv-driven jam band crafts sounds that saturate the senses and stir the soul.
Their sets move seamlessly from warm, ambient textures, perfect for arrival and background listening, to high-energy funk and disco grooves that fill the dance floor.
02 — Soul & hip hop · Crowd surfing included
Versace Boys
Duo or full band
Versace Boys create designer sounds for your designer ears.
Their sound is described as “sun-drenched soul mixed with hip hop and happiness”, drawing on their main influences — Smino, Remi Wolf, Anderson .Paak, Mark Rebillet, Mac Miller, Snoop Dogg and Still Woozy.
The crew have been fortunate enough to support Bobby Alu, Caravana Sun, Genesis Owusu, Bumbag and Flight Facilities, as well as play at epic festivals including Splendour in the Grass, Esoteric, Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Bohemian Beatfreaks and Island Vibes.
03 — Soul-funk singer-songwriter
Shahar
Duo or full band
Shahar is a soul-funkalicious artist with a voice that cuts straight through the noise and lyrics that don’t bother pretending everything is fine. Blending raw honesty with groove-heavy melodies, her music lives somewhere between late-night confession and slow-burning rebellion. Equal parts vulnerability and attitude, Shahar writes songs for people who feel deeply, think too much, and still want something they can sway to.
04 — Blues songwriter
Kane Muir
Solo or full band
In late 2020 Kane Muir was offered a day at Everland Studios by Ben Worsey and quickly put together a band: blues brother Jesse Redwing, Angus Taylor of The Dowds, and Harry Brus (Australian Crawl, Jimmy Barnes, Billy Thorpe) on bass.
05 — Hip-hop, soul & pop
Ari
Duo, trio or full band
Ari moves easily between hip-hop, soul and pop, pairing lush instrumental arrangements with sultry vocal hooks. One moment you’re drifting on a blissful, soulful melody, the next you’re locked into a heavy beat. It’s genre-bending, charming and seriously addictive.
