Headlining the evening is Redstar, an eclectic blend of blues, folk, rock, and pop with touches of grunge and progressive influence. Led by the captivating vocals of Rebecca, Redstar's songs are poetic explorations of love, heartache, and self-discovery, delivered with raw emotion, soaring melodies, and a dynamic live performance that moves effortlessly from intimate moments to powerful crescendos. Be among the first to hear "Fear" performed live as Redstar celebrates the release of the band's powerful new single.

Lilli & Riley have become familiar faces at Banshees Bar over the past year, developing a natural musical chemistry through regular performances. Blending folk-inspired acoustic songwriting with influences spanning alternative through to jazz, they'll be sharing a mix of covers and original songs, brought to life with warm acoustic guitar and smooth, expressive vocals.

Also taking the stage are Smoke Lanterns, whose alt-country storytelling meets psychedelic folk-rock in a rich, cinematic soundscape. Their melancholic melodies, layered instrumentation, and heartfelt songwriting explore relationships, everyday life, and the quiet moments that shape us. Featuring seasoned musicians from Brisbane's vibrant music community, Smoke Lanterns balance earthy alt-country grit with expansive psychedelic textures, creating music that's equally suited to late-night drives and quiet reflection.

Whether you're drawn to intimate acoustic performances, immersive folk-rock soundscapes, or powerful original music, this is a night celebrating the depth and diversity of Queensland's independent music scene.

Come early, settle in, and be part of an evening of music that lingers long after the final note.
