Indie – Bernadette Novembre

Born and bred in Melbourne, Bernadette had an early start in music and began singing professionally at the age of only six. Touring with international artists from six to 12 years old, Bernadette is heavily influenced by French and Italian artists of the 1960's such as Françoise Hardy, Dalida and Mina.

In 2017 Bernadette began to entrench herself in the Melbourne music scene and started singing again and songwriting. This resulted in the release of a critically acclaimed Soul EP ‘Rebounding’ which was co-written and produced by Ryan Ritchie (True Live, The Raah Project). Radio stations across the country and internationally played Bernadette’s songs which translated into a loyal following around the world and her participation in numerous gigs and festivals.

Almost four years ago, Bernadette met the creative genius Joshua Moriarty (Telenova, Miami Horror, All The Colours) who agreed to co-write and produce Bernadette’s debut Album. Bernadette always knew that she wanted to make an Indie Rock album, having been inspired by her favourite 1960’s artists The Beatles, George Harrison, The Doors, The Kinks, The Zombies, The Animals, Janis Joplin, The Mamas and The Papas, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Electric Light Orchestra, The Beach Boys, Dusty Springfield and her modern-day idols the Arctic Monkeys, Tempesst, Beach House, Lana del Rey, Florence and The Machine, The Vaccines, Babyshambles, Franz Ferdinand, Oasis, PJ Harvey, Queens of The Stone Age, Chrissie Hynde and Alexandra Savior. A surrealist at heart, Bernadette’s new music has been described as ‘Avant-Indie Alt Rock on the dreamscape’ due to the dreamlike quality of her lyrics and melodies. With the new Album, Bernadette also aspires to create surreal visual vignettes in the form of three music videos to metaphorically paint the picture of the songs’ transcendent meanings. Her debut Album is expected to be released in 2025.

Bernadette has achieved so much in the eight years she has been back in the music scene. Highlights of Bernadette’s career thus far include playing support to members of The Rolling Stones and being chosen to headline Festivals such as the St Kilda Festival and the Queenscliff Music Festival. One of Bernadette’s songs made it to the Top 30 of the Australian Songwriters Association Songwriting Contest in 2020.

A solo artist, Bernadette plays live with a backing band of loyal musicians – Josh Boult on Keys and Rhythm Guitar, Adyn Young on Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals, Ross Davidson on Bass and Luke Andresen on Drums.

On 29 July 2024 Bernadette will be releasing the first single off her debut Album called Another View from Dystopia along with a music video.

R & B – Georgia Dabbous

Georgia Dabbous is a 24-year-old female vocalist from Melbourne Australia who begun singing at a very early age. She competed in many talent contests and made her first lead role in her year 6 musical – Mulan. Shortly after, when she was 13, she performed at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Nic Cave and the Bad Seed’s children’s choir. She then competed with her high school in wakakirri, and then later, in 2018, went on to audition and perform in “Time to Shine”- a performing arts showcase held at the Arts Centre Melbourne.

She has performed multiple gigs at various venues along the way and in her more recent career, she begun creating her own music and releasing original records; working with producers, composers, lyricists and creating her own marketing campaigns.

She is now studying music performance at JMC academy and is keen to be more educated and gain more experience in the industry.
In her recent original works, she was beginning to find her sound; however, in her more recent pieces she has found a therapeutic element of writing songs about her real feelings and situations, struggling with mental health and relationships.
Georgia’s dream is to be a successful performing and recording artist, performing at festivals and having her own sold out concerts.

Rock – LAVERS

Acoustic rockers LAVERS are back with their first single in
five years, ‘Whisky Nights’.

Now, LAVERS has returned stronger than ever and - with
the release of Whisky Nights - it shows that sometimes
reconnecting with a friend is all you need.

Rock – TJ Howlett

TJ Howlett is a singer, songwriter and musician from Melbourne, Australia. His songs tell stories about the situations and feelings that make people who they are, creating an atmosphere that transports your imagination to another place and time.

His music is a blend of guitar based genres across a broad spectrum, from stomping blues-rock to ethereal acoustic to dark gothic grooves. These aural soundscapes paint a mood around poignant and soulful lyrics and deliver stories that evoke contemplation and emotion.

TJ was a fixture of Melbourne’s early 90s grunge scene, known for his wild talent and soaring lead breaks in outfits including Lost Cause, Blue September, Rehab, Joe Bloggs and Flux and Change.

After a couple of decades in the wilderness, TJ re-emerged into the music scene, slinging his axe for Dark Thorn and Veiled Arch. His work in these bands is a collaboration of high-energy riffs, sweeping chord voicings and his signature Bluespunk lead breaks which deliver a fusion of soul-tearing melodies and full throttle attack.

He also had a number of stories from the wilderness that needed to be sung, more introspective in nature and that he needed to craft personally. The result is the TJ Howlett collection – songs that create place, time and feeling.
