Exploding from the South Coast of New South Wales, CLEWS is the cultivation of two unique creative minds and upbringings featuring sisters Lily and Grace Richardson. The two Mollymook natives were born and raised on the anthemic ballads of the ‘90s. Now based in Sydney, the girls are singing big choruses and writing songs that will make your heart explode. 

CLEWS have experienced a meteoric rise in their inceptive 12 months as a touring group, courtesy of their first two singles “Museum” and “Crushed” which were heavily rotated on airwaves via triple j and beyond, songs which highlight CLEWS’ dizzying vocal harmonising and explosive, guitar-driven, melody-drenched choruses.

After dropping jaws all over the country on the live circuit, touring with the likes of Portugal. The Man, Albert Hammond Jr. (The Strokes), Ocean Alley, Holy Holy and Laurel, CLEWS then announced and consequentially sold out their debut national headline tour in a flash after playing some of the country’s premiere festivals to top it all off.
With with the release of latest single “Hollywood” – which once again pits the duo’s honeyed harmonies against an intoxicating melange of candied grunge and pop – it’s clear CLEWS’ is mirroring the confidence they’ve found in the live arena.

Canadian-born, Australia-based singer-songwriter Garrett Kato showed up in Byron Bay 9 years ago with nothing but a bag of clothes, a backpack, and a guitar after quitting his day job on a whim.

After busking on street corners and performing five gigs a week in any place he could find, the tireless grind paid off and Garrett was soon touring with some of Australia’s biggest artists, landing a publishing deal with Sony/ATV, having his songs synced with box office hits in the US, running his own recording studio and signing a label deal with NETTWERK.

With over 20 million worldwide streams on Spotify to date, playing sold out shows with Damien Rice, producing for a string of Australian indie folk acts like Ziggy Alberts, Kyle Lionheart, Pierce Brothers and Riley Pearce; Garrett is looking ahead to a big year of touring and releasing a stunning collection of new music.

“Take it like a strange journey,” says Garrett. “The decisions I’ve made in my life, for better or worse, haven’t necessarily been conventional to society. It was good though. I’d love for people to know it’s possible to show up somewhere new with nothing but a bag of clothes, a backpack, and a guitar and end up with a life you love. That’s my story.”

George Alice, is a 16 year old singer/songwriter from Adelaide, Australia who took out Unearthed High’s crown in 2019. Growing up in the country and folk worlds, George cut her teeth busking and learning how to play guitar and piano, while simultaneously teaching herself to write songs watching war movies - writing heartfelt storylines and lyrics about death and heartache and losing loved ones at war, which since, has only progressed to Georgia wanting to write music more ‘relatable’ to people her age.

Releasing her first song at the age of 15, Georgia’s debut track ‘Circles’ garnered the attention of Triple J - winning Triple J’s annual ‘Unearthed High’ competition - taking top place from over 1500 high school aged entrants. Since Unearthed High, Circles has climbed to #1 on Australia’s viral charts for over a week, hit #36 on Spotify’s GLOBAL discovery chart and sat in the top ten of Triple J’s most played.

"The music industry for me, is a place I feel comfortable pushing these imaginary social boundaries we call normal. I play music to connect with others; not always on common ground but acceptance is never denied. People coming together to express themselves in unique ways is something I love to see, and be apart of. Working on my original songs I wanted to shock my audience and constantly keep them on the edge of their seat, wanting to know what comes next. Never giving too much away my lyrics have hidden meanings, they are open to interpretation meaning people can make my stories, theirs."

Now with a globally recognised song and a treasure chest of unreleased music under her belt, the future is looking nothing but bright for this young superstar.

Jack Davies is a 20 year old rambler based in Fremantle, WA.

The young folksinger weaves suburban Australiana and intimate stories into thundering folk rock ballads. After years of busking and performing solo, he recruited a few friends to form The Bush Chooks, an electrified take on his former folk tales.

Just a year after forming, Jack Davies and the Bush Chooks were nominated for three WAM awards (Best Single, Best Folk Act & Most Popular New Act) and won Nannup Music Festival’s prestigious Emerging Artist Award. Debut single "Vegemite Sandwich" and follow-up release "Rosemary Mushrooms" are intimate, witty and well-spun tracks – think poetry penned from the backseat of a Troopy. May 2019 will see them release their much anticipated debut EP

"Cleaning The Dishes". A ramshackle six track collection of gentle storytelling and thunderous folk rock..."a ramshackle beaut" - Declan Byrne (Triple J).
