Vincent Cross is  known for his Irish song poetry that draws from various traditional folk idioms and ancient myths. He was born in Ireland, raised in Australia, and is now based in New York City.
He has released four critically acclaimed albums and performed with artists such as Glen Hansard, Odetta, Damien Rice, The Pogues Ron Kavana and Roy Book Binder.


"I heard a crystal clear voice that took me back to when I was being introduced to mountain music groups, and families in Appalachia. It was a pleasure to hear such beauty coming out of Vincent Cross" (ODETTA)



​Vincent is touring Australia with his latest album "A Place Where Songs Come to Live". The Tintinbar show double bill with local legend Jimmy Dowling sees two extremely talented individuals come together for an evening of beautifully crafted folk songs and poetry. 
Booking soon



Jimmy Dowling's music has a raw but skilled quality - authentic, confident, and engages your attention in its emotive, visual language. You'll find a nostalgic empathy and visceral reflection of the everyday, of the everyman. The tracks are poetic in lyrics and music, pushing boundaries and expectations. Dowling's strong delivery shines beyond the mediocre to touch your imagination.

Kim Churchill

$35 +bf
BYO

​

Celebrating the announcement of his forthcoming album 'It’s Lovely To Have You Here', due for release Friday 11 October, Kim Churchill is embarking on his biggest Australian tour to date! Hitting the road in December, Kim will be playing over 50 shows across capital cities and all his small town faves. From Melbourne to Byron Bay Blues and Roots Festival, to the far corners of Tasmania and north Queensland. In true nomadic style, he has locked in jam packed 6 months and will be playing in National Parks, botanic gardens, natural amphitheatres and of course, some of Australia's most renowned venues as well.
A staple in the Australian and International folk scene, Kim Churchill continues to strike a chord across the globe with his laidback acoustic sound. Raised on the coastal town of Merimbula, Kim’s decade long industry experience spreads far and wide, with the songwriter previously crowned Australia’s National Youth Folk Artist of the Year and nominated for the National Live Music Awards Roots Act of the Year.
