  • Cary Lewincamp's solo guitar performances are emotive and passionate, a still point of reference in a world, which is becoming an increasingly uncertain place. He is one of Australia's best selling independent artists; yet, he remains a fresh new musical experience waiting to be discovered by a growing audience. Cary's beautiful original solo guitar music draws on the best elements of jazz, latin, folk, finger style blues and echoes of classical technique. Cary's music transcends barriers and is loved by people of all ages and backgrounds. Cary plays two, specially built, hand made Gary Rizzolo seven-string acoustic/electric guitars. The extra bass string gives a wider tonal range and more warmth allowing the subtle nuances of his intricate playing style to shine through. Cary was born in Tasmania in 1952. As a child he played the piano and at the age of 17 he taught himself to play the guitar. Originally a primary school teacher, Cary has also worked as an ABC scriptwriter for the program Singing and Listening, and as the Musical Director with the Salamanca Theatre Company. His music has been used widely as backing sound for programs such as the acclaimed ABC documentary series, Australian Story. He also wrote and performed the music for the ABC Tasmanian drama, The Town That Died. He has performed with Tommy Emmanuel, Olivia Newton John, David Gates (Bread), Don Burrows, Christine Sullivan and others. Currently his music is played regularly on ABC national radio and Classic FM. He composed and performed "˜A place in our hearts' for the state funeral of our late premier, Jim Bacon. He has given a highly successful and much loved solo guitar concert for the 10 days on the island festival and has performed at the National Folk Festival. He has toured internationally with a focus in Japan. Cary's concerts provide the audience with a delightful insight into the stories & inspiration behind his music, as well as experiencing his live interpretations of his compositions. To describe Cary's solo guitar performances in words could only belie the depth of his talent. See him in concert and let the musical experience speak for itself.

Drums and costumes are bought direct from sources in Salvador de Bahia, and Sao Paulo–Brazil, so the band guarantees it’s authentic Brazilian style.

The band is flexible and can cater for any events including festivals, fund-raisers, parades or stage performances. Like in Brazilian carnaval, the ensemble is able to perform samba percussion in while parading through an event. Chicada is also able to perform onstage with amplified singing and other amplified instruments to provide added melodies to the percussion. The full samba band ensemble (up to 18+ players) make an absolutely amazing sound that really adds to the atmosphere of any event.

  • Christopher Coleman is a Tasmanian singer and multi-instrumentalist whose songwriting is characterised by dry domestic observation and a rambling stream of consciousness. The winner of Triple J Unearthed (2012) and the Telstra Road To Discovery (2013), Coleman released his debut self titled album (2014) to strong critical reviews. Extensive touring continued throughout the US, UK, New Zealand and Australia. 2016 saw the release of his second album Ah, Winter. This record garnered organic national acclaim but due to health, Coleman was unable to tour. Having been described by a festival called PANAMA as a "Tasmanian treasure" and The Age as "perhaps the most charismatic frontman in Australia", Coleman has shared the stage with artists as diverse as the The Drones, John Butler Trio, The Angels and The Preatures. In 2017 Coleman formed "The Songbooks", a project celebrating the great Australian songbook. "The Songbooks" features Tasmania's finest singers and has sown seeds to become a Tasmanian institution.
