WHAT'S HOT THIS WEEK

The legendary Lennox Jam night has been running for many years and brings musicians in from all around the Northern Rivers areas and beyond. Come on down, bring your instrument.

All are welcome who are looking to gain experience or just want to mingle with musicians.

Melbourne might have spray-painted alleyways, Secret-Life-Of-Us-esque parks and the Moran clan, but Byron Bay is stepping it up with its dreamy ocean views, trendy cafes, and now, a mob of its own.

You’ll find them lurking in the shadows, that’s if they don’t find you first...

Breaking ground with their smooth beats and raw vocals, recently formed The H Gang rivals a Joss Stone-Bill Withers-Norah Jones super group, with soulful lyrics and head-bopping grooves. The influence of funk from the 60s and 70s runs thick through their upcoming debut EP Natural Bridge, which, combined with their energetic and enchanting live acts, makes The H Gang feel more like an experiential and addictive drug, than a group of youngsters with insight beyond their years.

Raising the bar for Australian contemporary artists, this up and coming group, drawn together through their love of the all things hip and harmonious, will have you drinking wine alone on a Sunday evening and two-stepping your way around your lounge room in no time.

From the far north of Australia but with his musical roots embedded in the deep south of the USA, Sugarcane Collins is a one of a kind singer-songwriter-guitarist.

Inspired by the slashing delta blues of Charley Patton and Son House, the sparkling ragtime of Blind Blake and the powerful songster traditions of Leadbelly, Sugarcane sings passionately with a voice that is big and soulful, writes songs that are potent and rich with imagery and attacks the guitar with a driving rhythmic swing.

Broadfoot are a band from the Far North Coast of NSW who love to get the dancers up, combining two electric guitars, bass and drums and with all members singing lead and with two,three and four part harmonies a feature of the sound. Bluesy, colourful, funky, rock and highly danceable are terms one could use to help describe the Broadfoot sound. A mixture of their own songs and ones that continue to influence the band form the basis of their repertoire. Broadfoot had success last August with one of their own songs winning a Dolphin award in the best funk category as well as being nominated as a finalist in the best emerging talent category.
