Described as the sonic lovechild of Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan, Tommy Sexton pulls from genres of “soul, disco funk, and post-apocalyptic yacht-rock”, resulting in a musical creation so wild and wonderful in its nature; smooth as butter and sweet as honey. Drawing inspiration from the likes of neo-soul icon D’angelo, jazz masters like Herbie Hancock, disco legends Earth Wind and Fire, to rock stars like Toto, the range of Tommy Sexton is nothing short of a marvel.Dana Gehrman
Brisbane based guitar-slinger and singer, Dana Gehrman delivers a vintage sound that evokes rich nostalgia.
Taking influence from the halcyon days of 70’s ‘west coast’ music, Gehrman rewinds to a time of genre-bending experimentalism with her songwriting, blending soul, funk, roots-rock and blues, all with unfaltering vocals.Rosa Mack
Melting soulful tones of the 60’s and 70’s era, the energy of Rosa Mack and her band is underpinned by masterful lyricism, horn-driven funky soul persuasions and Rosas’ soaring vocal range. Enriched by genres of blues, rock and soul their tantalizing original music draws influence from musical matriarchs Amy Winehouse, Brittany Howard, Nai Palm and Nina Simone.
