Royce Shook-Royce Shook has been an accomplished guitarist since the age of 16 when he formed the infamous Evolution rock band. His solo work has included venues from Atlanta to Salt Lake City and his interest and passion for music is a continuing journey. On March 2010 he released the album Cold November Rain and in January 2013 his second album Mysterium was released.

Vernon Minton- A County Western Musican during the 1980-1990's His music is timeless. Check him out on youtube Teskey Brothers- Formed in 2008, The Teskey Brothers are a band that makes you feel more at home than the hot drifting smell of rosemary Bolognese, or collecting your own eggs from the hatch down the hill. Why? Because they are family, and once you are in the audience, so are you. And I’m not just saying that because I’m wearing overalls and own a chicken. The band came to be from seeking blues and roots of the greats from an early age when exposed to musicians such as Peter Green, Otis Redding and Ray Charles. The boys would watch closely in awe as their teacher, Sam Linton Smith, performed at St. Andrews pub on a Sunday, the very same St. Andrews in which Josh and Sam Teskey set up to busk as boys. Thus began the musical convergence of Warrandyte Blues-Soul and everything in between. And when brought to Melbourne CBD, people actually move to live music – a phenomenon that’s camera worthy.
