The Prairie Oysters

The Prairie Oysters are a three piece band from Melbourne Australia who are regarded by many as one of the most popular and hard working country rock acts in the country. The band is made up of a nucleus of three seasoned and talented musicians and songwriters, Tony Bonnici, Dave Miles and Mick Evans. The Prairie Oysters have been together since 2005 and have three albums to their name.

Their sound is influenced by many artists including Steve Earle, John Fogarty, The Kentucky Headhunters, The Mavericks and many more. Their live shows are great fun and the band tours as a four of five piece bringing along a couple of mates to play along. They have made a lot of friends around Australia and internationally with their music and their killer live shows.

Waz e James Band

Often described as "Australia's best-kept secret," the band is led by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Waz e James, a veteran of the Melbourne folk and roots scene since the 1970s. Their sound is frequently compared to iconic Southern rock and country acts like the Marshall Tucker Band, Allman Brothers, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Waz's songwriting style blends country-blues with grit, influenced by his time spent in the Austin, Texas, music scene.
