Niine the idiosyncratic ball of quirky goodness has been hitting the live music scene hard. Niine’s vibrant song writing and organic grooves have been making an impression since the end of 2016. As the world’s first avant-guard avalanche pop artist, she brings a completely new sound to the music scene through her recordings and live shows. Her abstract view of the pop world and discrete punk attitude is delivering exactly what the pop music scene craves.

Tess grew up on the beaches of Torquay and mostly writes about having existential crises while falling in love and/or being a raging feminist. After moving to Melbourne to study pure math and philosophy (which didn’t help much with the existential angst), she’s clawing her way out of the dark recesses of academia back towards her guitar.

Tess joins Miller and Hannah in the Jam Sessions studio for an hour of laughter and quality folk-pop performances of her original music.

Soft Rubbish is the stage name of singer/songwriter Julie Montan. Her moody ruminations on the fragile nature of life are bare and unpolished yet disarming and enchanting. Her voice is nuanced and her fingers fledgling as she strums the tenor ukulele drenched in delay while delicately smashing the shit out of her glockenspiel.

Evelyn Ida Morris, best known as Pikelet, is a gifted musician, celebrated for their dexterity across multiple instruments and for songwriting that is complex and structurally adventurous.

Since 2007, Morris has released four albums as Pikelet, an experimental pop act, winning ‘The Age’ Music Victoria Award for Best Experimental Musician and being shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize. In 2014, Morris co-founded LISTEN, an advocacy group focused on creating discourse around gender diversity and politics in Australian music.

This year Evelyn Morris will release their first self titled album under ‘Evelyn Ida Morris’. The album represents a significant departure from the looping pop of Pikelet, for which Evelyn is best known. It builds on the structural complexity of that project, but focuses wholly on piano – huge, wild, racing, dexterous piano. These new works are lush, postclassical compositions, frequently referencing Debussy and Ravel. Thematically, they deal with the experience of being non-binary and making sense of that experience. Recently voted one of the ’50 Most Powerful People in the Australian Music Industry’,

Evelyn uses they/them pronouns and does not identify as female or male.
