Axe & the Ivory + Myles Mayo + Kaelin Haimes

Axe & the Ivory

With their intricate guitar melodies and moving lyricism, this five-piece outfit from Adelaide have revealed themselves
to be a creative force in the Australian indie-folk-pop scene. With two lead vocalists and additional backing vocals, Axe & the Ivory’s harmonies are enchanting. Add piano, driving drums, intricate guitar/banjo melodies, and we have a band that ‘will instantly capture your attention with its irresistible charm that lands somewhere between a mix of Alabama Shakes, Taylor Swift, Vera Blue, and The Paper Kites’ (Scenestr).

Myles Mayo Trio

Following the breakup of Special Patrol Myles expanded his solo work and songwriting, capitalising on his Mushroom Publishing links with a
publishing deal in the US. His two solo albums, one self-titled and the second Myles Mayo and The Modern Heart, have continued his storytelling with loads of quirky, emotive songs that capture fleeting moments from Myles past and present and somehow they become your stories and part of your life. His songs hit on a very real level, his observations are familiar scenes, those of personal triumph and tragedy, playing out like a video jukebox of shame or glory or both.

Kaelin Haimes

Kaelin Haimes is a 17 year old singer songwriter based in the Adelaide Hills. On acoustic guitar, she offers a mix of original music for everyone. Playing a variety of genres, her Missy Higgins inspired original music will take you on a storytelling journey.
