Five songwriters, five guitars, and a whole basket of unreleased, unplayed and unfinished songs. Join some of Melbourne’s finest young songwriters for a night of sharing songs and gas-bagging on the more untamed side of being a musician. 

MATILDA HASSALL // Matilda Hassall stirs together addictive countrysoulsex-esque vocals, taboo topics & lyrics relatable in the way you don’t want to admit, emerging into a style self-described as ‘Aussie Sharehouse Pop’.

BENJAMIN TRILLADO // When many shy away from their insecurities, their mistakes, and sometimes the ugliness of life, Trillado isn’t afraid to kiss and tell. Benjamin writes from the lens of a queer Filipino kid from the western suburbs and represents a voice that he wishes he saw more of growing up. 

MADDY PETCH // Maddy Petch is an indie-pop singer songwriter who’s whimsy floats atop her rainbow melodies, chunky guitar sound and inspiration from artists like Angie McMahon and Middle Kids. 

WILL CONWAY // Will Conway is a Melbourne-based multi-instrumentalist. Working towards the release of his debut album, Will’s songs are a mix of gut-wrenching lyrics and soaring melodies, drawing on the influence of artists such as Medium Build, Gang Of Youths and Sam Fender.

MAZ GREEN // Maz Green writes effervescent indie-pop music with a sharp attention to hooks, conceptually and melodically. Her songs are unapologetically lyric-driven, covering themes of her own self-discovery, youth and a near death experience.
