Jai Wolf: Jai Wolf’s live show has been described as an ascending roller coaster of everything from future bass, trap, deep house and mash ups. Since signing to Skrillex’s label, OWSLA, Wolf has gone on to perform at Coachella and just recently wrapped up a huge run of sold out US dates.
Thu, Sep 22, Oxford Art Factory
Toni Swain: A night of home grown blues and original songs with the very soulful Toni Swain. Originally from WA, Toni spent many years in Sydney, then Cairns, playing to crowds big and small, across all genres, finally settling in the small town of Nundle, NSW, which has been home for the past 10 years. Toni’s new album ‘Deepest Water’ has recently skyrocketed to the #2 position on the Australian Blues and Roots Charts with some great radio airplay.

This Way North: Melbourne guitar/drums duo This Way North are back from their winter hiatus in the Northern Hemisphere. This Way North are Leisha Jungalwalla (Jungal) and Cat Leahy (Sal Kimber & the Rollin’ Wheel, Miss Quincy (CAN), Lisa Miller).
