Byron as well as collaborations with his band The Sunset Junkies – a group of freakishly talented musicians dedicated to bringing out the best in Byron’s dirty Rock-N-Roll soul.

Saturday, March 25th; Method w/ Elwood Myre | 8 pm Free Entry – Folk/ Roots – Oz roots music in it’s purest form, Method bridge the gap between Americana Swamp and the Celts, evoking the journey folk music has made across the Atlantic and Pacific to end up with a unique Australian sound. These are soundscapes and songs locked firmly in a gravely groove, delivering a rhythm driven roots experience with a lyrical heart. A new Australian Alt. Folk, played by two master musicians with humour, sensitivity and world class Method.
Elwood Myre is a fervid collaboration between troubadour Elwood and Multi-instrumentalist Hunter Beasley. After discovering their lifeblood in Songs the pair have been working endlessly on developing a sound unique unto itself and awash with golden tones of nostalgia. Chiming with roots in the late 60s & 70s and a firm nod to their modern contemporaries, Elwood Myre have planted their feet firmly on a timeless plane
