SARAH BELKNER & FRIENDS

Over 4 Mondays in September, SARAH BELKNER brings her unique existential indie singer-songwriter vibes to Butchers Brew Bar, teaming up with different great local artists every week.  Together they will bring a residency filled with old songs, brand new songs, a chance to let her know songs you may want to hear her & her guest do together & maybe even a singalong or two for everyone to enjoy. 

Feautured artists are the incredible BABY VELVET, BRENDAN MACLEAN, ELANA STONE & COOEE.  Each week will be its own adventure & a great way to warm the heart at the start of the week.

  BABY VELVET  

To open the residency with a bang. Sarah is teaming up with the incredible Hannah Crofts, under her new moniker BABY VELVET, taking centre stage for the very first time with her debut solo band project. As one quarter of the indie folk group, 'All Our Exes Live in Texas', Crofts has toured the world in vintage gowns & rhinestone boots, & in 2022 embarked on releasing her debut solo record ‘Please Don’t Be In Love With Someone Else’ via ABC, produced by Kevin Ratterman (My Morning Jacket). The Album was nominated for the 2023 AIR Award for ‘Best Blues & Roots Album’, Hannah was nominated for the 2023 APRAAMCOS Professional Development Awards, along with being the recipient of the Hello Daydreamer Artist in Residence scholarship.  In 2023 she released her single 'Wild Cherry Tree Drive' produced by Tony Buchan.

Following a Debut National Album tour Baby Velvet has shared the stage with the likes of Olympia, Phil Jamison, Kav Temperly, Dianna’s, while also performing at Gumball Festival, Macedon Ranges Music Festival, Brunswick Music Festival & Port Fairy Folk Festival.

‘Baby Velvet is delivering one heck of a sparkling, rhinestone-encrusted, emotional gut-punch on her debut album’ Ticketmaster

‘Perhaps most striking is the album’s sonic breadth: every track is an opulent eruption of widescreen indie-pop, with towering stacks of soaring vocal harmonies, warbling guitars & shimmery atmospherics’  Australian Guitar Magazine

‘Baby Velvet sees Hannah reflecting inward & utilising her soaring vocals with gritty & heart-wrenching song-writing to make everything around her sparkle poetically’  Pilerats
