What?
Ah, Sundays at the Corner — where the beer’s cold, the music’s hot and the vibe’s just right. We’re bringing back the magic of lazy arvos and filling them with a bunch of pared-back Front Bar Sessions. Think free live music, good company and that unbeatable Corner Front Bar energy.
It’s the kind of place where you can pull up a stool, order a pint and lose track of time while local legends and up-and-comers play you a Sunday soundtrack.
Our Front Bar Sessions won’t stick around forever, so make the most of ‘em while they’re here. Round up the crew, grab a spot by the bar and let’s finish the weekend the right way.
This week's lineup features:Winter McQuinn & Acacia Pip + Friends
Long-time collaborators Winter McQuinn (Sunfruits, jade imagine) and Acacia Pip (PINCH POINTS, Slush) have joined forces, writing together and playing tracks from their respective solo projects.
In November 2024 the pair released the collaborative split EP Recently I’ve Been Missing The Colour Green, with a sold out show at Merri Creek Tavern. The 6-track EP explores the pair's growing appreciation for the softer side of pastoral folk, indie rock and emotionally inclined songwriting styles. Recorded primarily on 2” tape in their home studio, the EP exudes a warm, cosy feel that complements its vulnerable lyrics and delicate melodies.
“These six songs deliver a winning combo of sun-blissed hooky pop and sharp observations, warm melodies and slacker cool” - Camilla Aisa (Shindig Magazine).
Winter McQuinn’s solo music explores psychedelic country and folk rippling with a free-ness similar to Nick Drake, Syd Barrett, Kevin Ayers and more modern 70s soft rock purveyors like Michael Rault and Drugdealer. His 2021 debut album ‘A Rabble Of Bees’ marked the beginning of Winnie’s solo wanderings, while his 2024 sophomore album ‘Move To The Trees’ further honed his craft, with a series of anthems for the future, settled in a post psych folk / 70s soft rock energy.
Both received broad acclaim, including ‘Move To The Trees’ being featured in Rolling Stone Australia and KEXP’s ‘Best Of’ lists for 2024. For Acacia Pip, Recently I’ve Been Missing The Colour Green marks the debut release under her new solo moniker, with plans for more in 2025.
