APRIL MOON return for a special winter edition of their Americana showcase, and they’ve pulled out all the stops for another spectacular bill of the finest acts around.
Combining their irresistibly charming, boot-stompin’ tunes with intertwined twangy and jangly guitars, powerful vocal harmonies and a kick drum made from an old suitcase, Jaime April and Jason Moon make up the alt-country / Canadiana duo APRIL MOON. Known for their fun, well crafted songwriting, these two play the hell out of their instruments, leaving toes tapping, cheeks aching from smiling, and spirits lifted sky-high. Growing up on the wild prairies beside the North Saskatchewan River in Canada, embracing the open road became a necessity to travel between venues and the pair haven’t put down roots since, splitting their time between several countries a year and living out of a cool campervan they call ‘The Clubhouse’.
Support comes from Jukehouse Junkies, Megan Lee, Vox Americana, and Alice Ashe.
Doors at 4:30pm. Tickets on sale now.

Taking place at The Tung Auditorium, Anil Srinivasan, an award winning Indian pianist, and Dr Jayanthi Kumaresh, a virtuoso of the Saraswathi Veena, have forged a remarkable musical partnership through their innovative collaboration, notably showcased in their project The Stringmasters.
They were first brought together by Milap in 2013 for a concert at London’s Southbank Centre, where they discovered a natural synergy between the piano and veena, both string instruments. Their remarkable ability in blending Western and Carnatic classical traditions to create a unique ‘third space’ of musical expression has been winning fans worldwide.
This partnership, marked by performances at venues as diverse as the Riverside Theatre in Sydney, the Habitat in Delhi, Bengaluru’s Jagriti Theatre and Chennai’s The ARTery, emphasises intuitive and genre-neutral explorations of ragas.
They are often accompanied by percussionists of great repute such as Giridhar Udupa. Their work, celebrated for breaking artistic barriers, integrates classical depth with contemporary accessibility, engaging diverse audiences globally while redefining the boundaries of Indian and Western musical dialogues.
“The collaboration between Anil Srinivasan and Jayanthi Kumaresh is a rare alchemy, where the piano and Saraswathi Veena weave a seamless tapestry of sound, transcending the boundaries of Carnatic and Western classical music with an effortless grace that captivates the audience.” (Ranjani Govind, The Hindu, August 2019)
