Upcoming Events

Cat & Clint are an Old Time Duo featuring sweet vocal harmonies, 5-string banjo, fiddle, banjo ukulele and mountain dulcimer. They are inspired by Traditional Appalachian Mountain Music and the passing down of fiddle tunes and ballads through generations of players from Australia and the USA. Whether it’s a murder ballad, a song of longing and heartbreak, a crooked fiddle tune or a rollicking banjo song, Cat and Clint endeavor to present this music with the authenticity and respect that it demands. The duo mix up their repertoire with Clints original songs and a good dose of vintage country blues.

Georgia State Line and Patrick Wilson perform 2 sets as a duo at The Shiraz Republic, Cornella.

Music from 2.15pm

GEORGIA STATE LINE
Honest, agile, and refreshingly self-assured, Georgia State Line’s unique brand of country-infused melancholy yields music that’s equal parts heartsick and hopeful.

The stage moniker of Australian singer/songwriter Georgia Delves, Georgia State Line blends both vintage and contemporary sounds to craft songs steeped in Tennessee sunsets. Delves’ voice is effortlessly colourful, lyrical and textural with a depth and grace to rival even the most revered of talents.

PATRICK WILSON
There’s a tender, unmistakable charm that lingers in the work of natural-born storyteller, Patrick Wilson. Rich in craftsmanship, Wilson’s trademark sound and approach to songwriting are gifts only strengthened by the life he breathes into performance.

It’s not often that audiences witness an artist whose output is so grounded, personable, and heartrendingly honest. As it happens, there’s a distinct warmth and benevolence sewn deep within the lining of Wilson’s craft. We’ve seen it with the likes of Marlon Williams, Kacey Musgraves and Roy Orbison, all stars in their own right, but it’s in Patrick Wilson that this unique class of alternative, old-time Americana finds its true north.

Collectively they have performed at festivals across the country including Out On The Weekend, Tamworth Country Music Festival and supported heavyweights, Justin Townes Earle, Eilen Jewell and The Bellamy Brothers.

The Cartwheels are Golden Guitar winners Wendy Phypers and Dave Patterson.
Their self titled album was recorded in Nashville where they recruited members of the Nashville super group The Time Jumpers. The songs hark back to old school Americana of the fifties and sixties featuring ten original songs from Wendy.

Please note, original date cancelled due to Covid-19 lockdown. We are working with Henry Wagons & Simply Spanish to reschedule the event. Ticket holders will be notified of the new date and refunded should they be unable to make it.

Come and celebrate Jojo Rainwater’s birthday when he plays his own party at Shiraz Republic!

With an authentic Southern American sound, best described as Rock-n-Swampy, Blues-Rootsy, Gospel-n-Folk. He has something vivid and profound to say through his music and tales of his relatives from the early days. The American singer/guitarist was born August 16th 1962 in Memphis Tennessee not far from the muddy Mississippi river. No doubt he must have heard the sound of gospel and delta blues music in the air. Jojo’s imagination was set to writing songs by the stories of his grandma who picked cotton as a little girl in the hot Mississippi summer sun and a grandpa who hopped trains during the great depression. But his great grandmother on his father’s side was from the Ozark mountains in Arkansas, she was a ‘Rainwater’, which is Cherokee (inspired his new stage name). There was of course some Scottish and Irish mixed in.
Jojo Rainwater has been consistently getting great reactions to his Southern style music and storytelling to audiences locally and abroad.

COVID restrictions permitting……….. (frustrated expression) Slim Dime head to The Shiraz Republic for some fine musical accompaniment to tasty beverages in gorgeous surrounds.
Slim Dime are an acoustic duo featuring old-time mountain sounds, seamless harmonies and some mighty-fine pickin’. They make music that sounds as though it’s always existed somewhere on a mountaintop. There’ll be banjo, probs some yodelling – sad songs and fast songs that sound happy but are about sad stuff.

I will be playing an arvo show at Shiraz Republic winery in Heathcote, where we can breathe easy that the wine will never run out.

Come spend a cosy winter arvo with some amazing food and incredible wine. You can make a day of it and go on an award winning vanilla slice crawl on the way!

I will be joined by the angelic Marcella Wright and Cora Diviny on harmonies. Two sets from 2pm.
