Harry's Lookout is a Novocastrian Rock, Blues and Folk group and are currently in the process of recording their their first full length album "Cause and Effect". " We're very pleased with the way things are coming together and can't wait to get some new music out to everyone soon!"
The band regularly appears along the coast including: Sydney, Pacific Palms, Newcastle, Port Macquarie, Oldbar and Catherine Hill Bay.

The Swamp Stompers play funky rock and blues with heavy grooves. Emerging from the dirty backwaters of Lismore (NSW), the band sounds like the musical lovechild of John Butler Trio, Led Zeppelin, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Searing slide guitar, contrasting dual-lead vocals, catchy guitar riffs and dubstep inspired didgeridoo soundscapes give this original blues-rock band an irresistible flavour combination that will leave you with an insatiable hunger for more.

Having met at Southern Cross University in Lismore back in mid-2012, founding members Corey Legge (guitar/lead vocals) and Mitch Broadhead (drums/backing vocals) set about building a monster. Initially the creature only required one very sturdy leg and a broad head, but it was soon decided that this swamp-creation was missing one vital feature. The lightning bolt of inspiration came early in the piece when bassist, vocalist and circular-breathing extraordinaire Luke Ligtenberg slithered into view, adding the final element to bring the three-pronged colossal to life.

Since this fateful merging of musical minds, The Swamp Stompers have set about earning themselves a significant reputation as one of the most promising up-and-coming acts to emerge in recent years. The powerhouse trio, which as of 2018 features Oliver Morley-Sattler behind the kit, has stomped their mark on prominent Australian festivals such as Caloundra Music Festival (QLD), Blues at Bridgetown (WA), and the Sydney Blues & Roots Festival (NSW), with rave reviews from punters and peers alike.

Cass Eager
Named by folk-blog Timber and Steel as‘Janis Joplin and Ben Harper’s love-child’, Cass Eager’s mix of raw soul, husky blues and light-hearted ditties are all punctuated with her unique whisky-soaked vocals. Emotive, slightly raspy, at times tender andat times powerful, Cass’ authentic voice is always the driving force of her music. Internationally renowned but defiantly grassroots, Cass Eager isoneof those rare artists that’s mastered everything from the foot-stomping blues to a sensual slow burner. She’s been called ‘oneof the best female singers in Australia’by Richard Glover (ABC), ’the girl with the golden voice’ (Daily Examiner), and Diesel claims ‘she has a voice so sweet she could sing the phone bookand you wouldn’t get bored’. Cass’ music has taken her to some of the world’s most far-flung places. Performing indiverse locations from CBGB’s in NYC to the beachfront huts of Dili has given Eager a depth and richness that comes from experience. She’s done several ‘tours of duty’entertaining Australian troops, from Egypt to East Timor (with Paul Kelly and Peter Garrett), the Middle East to the Solomon Islands. She’s toured through North America and Canada –alone waith her acoustic guitar; alongside Ash Grunwald; and with US musician Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo; ex-Wilco). Cass also performed for Prince Harry during his Australian visit, and after being invited back for a repeat performance, endedup giving the prince guitar lessons. Cass plays with her band, or alone, and while both are different magnificent beasts, onething is constant –her voice. It carries like the wind and slams you right in your gut where you want it to. She also loves a good story and a good laugh, and Cass’ shows are just asmuch abouther heartwarming and entertaining tales as they are about the music. ‘One of Sydney’s most gifted singer-songwriters, whose refreshingly honest, almost Joplin-esque like voice is hers alone, and whose songwriting will spellbind the listener.’(The Music) A finalist for Best Group and Best Female Vocalist in the Australian Blues ‘Chain’ Awards and Best Blues/Roots Artist in the MusicOz Awards, Cass’EP‘Down OnMy Knees’ was voted ‘Top 10 Album’of the year inRhythms Magazine
