Mullum is almost a teenager! Now in its 12th year, Mullum Music Festival (14-17 Nov) is getting ready to roll out the green carpet for the extraordinary mix of international, national and local artists, playing stages, walking the streets and dancing in halls over the four best days on the Mullum Calendar.
The festival has established a reputation for presenting interesting and diverse line-ups that showcase emerging and career musicians. Festival Director Glenn Wright has a knack for picking acts like Tash Sultana, right before they go ballistic. Those concerts are some of the most memorable. There are so many moments at Mullum where you have the privilege of being in a room knowing that you are witnessing phenomenal talent. 2019 sees Mullum Music Fest double down on their commitment to create another stunning line-up.
So here’s a little taster of the first 13 acts, a Mullum Fest Bakers Dozen, before the full line-up is released in August!
Nano Stern (Chile), Mojo Juju, Allensworth (US), Sibusile Xaba (Sth Africa),
Emma Donovan & The Putbacks, Alysha Brilla (Can), Joe Pug (US),
Z Star Trinity (UK), Thando, Ruby Boots, Lucie Thorne,
The Wilson Pickers, Sunnyside
Playing Mullum for the second time, the festival welcomes back Chilean Nano Stern who emerged from the underground punk rock scene to spread his wings with classical and jazz training. His music pays homage to Chilean poetry and music traditions but instills hope in those hungry for social justice.
From South Africa, Mullum Music Festival welcomes the astonishing and unique talent of Sibusile Xaba, touted as the lynchpin in South Africa’s new generation of jazz musicians. KwalZulu-Natal-born guitarist and vocalist, Sibusile Xaba is an acoustic guitar master.
There’s also Aria favourite Mojo Juju best known for her break-through album Native Tongue, she traverses R’n’B, Hip Hop and Soul. It’s impossible not to love her. And celebrated Melbourne song-poet Lucie Thorne, heading back to Mullum Music Festival to celebrate the release of her brilliant forthcoming album Kitty & Frank.
Acclaimed indigenous vocalist Emma Donovan and Melbourne rhythm combo The PutBacks come together to perform a concert of hard hitting and heartfelt soul. The music has a gritty uniquely Australian sound, a tour de force de funk and soul!
Allensworth are the Southern Californian quintet who fuse rock and soul into a melting pot of true life anthemic stories. UK power trio Z-Star Trinity deliver driving rhythms, there’s the ethereal pedal steel guitar of US Joe Pug, purveyors of funk and dedicated groove Sunnyside, Zimbabwean born Melbourne based singer-songwriter, Thando, with her electric presence and powerhouse big soul voice, Americana singer songwriter Ruby Boots, the collaborative punch of The Wilson Pickers and Canada’s Juno Award nominated Alysha Brilla. Her music is inspired by her cultural and religious background, with an Indo-Tanzanian father and Canadian mother of European settler heritage putting out acoustic musings with an upbeat celebratory atmosphere of life.
