Tight Forty Five

Samuel Gaskin - Singer, Dancer, Actor, Activist and Change Maker. We get into his origin story, what it was like growing up in Australia as a curvaceous, black gay man and what it means for him now. Gaskin is a doer and his work with the indigenous people of Australia and New Zealand is both humbling and admirable. 

Shaun Kirk brings the Blues, the beat and that old school Rock'n'Roll to Tight Forty Five. 
Kirk's gritty rhythmic sound will have you tapping your toes and missing the days you could dance with a stranger.

Sidney Rose is a contemporary Melbourne pop artist. Her ability to ask questions, learn from her peers and push her ego aside has served her well. 
Sidney opens up about her streaming success and shares with us how to get your music out into the world where it belongs. 

Are you looking for an artist to be part of the Australian soundtrack of your youthful love. 
Kaitlin Keegan is a great companion when you're driving in your first-secondhand car, punching out cigarettes and regrets. Her songs are sweet yet filled with sorry. 

Lamalo; aka Yossi Cascun & Michiya Nagai are classically trained musicians that specialise  in creating and producing Electronica & Indie-Pop. With knowledge, talent, passion and youth on their side... these boys have it all. 

Timothy Wolf... wowsers, what a voice! Throwing back to the old Soul and Folk singers from yesteryear whilst pushing forward with his own unique vocal stylings and sounds. 
If you dig Leon Bridges, Jamie Lidell and Smokey Robinson you are going to dig my man Timothy Wolf. 

During these Covid times, I think it's appropriate to pop a bottle of bubbly and bring the party and good vibes to lounge room and just freak out.  Everybody needs a little Hip Hop, Pop, Raps, Rhymes and Dancey Disco Delights. There is no better person than my next guest to make this all happen.  So let yourself go with the multitalented Hugo Bladel.

At 21 years of age Little Green can do the groove thing, the indie thing, the latin thing, the jazz thing and she plays everything. Have a listen to super talented Amy Nelson blow my mind this week on Tight Forty Five. 

Wee is where Folk meets Pop, but in that cool vagabond way.  Glenn has been streamed by the hundreds and thousands cause he's the coolest, catchiest, hippest, hippy-Singaporean you'll ever meet. Listen to us talk of the nights we spent in Singapore and of course Glen Wee's undeniable sound. 

Velvet Bloom. Yes it’s Neo Soul, but it still gives you something to hold onto other than a tasty groove. Yes it’s Jazz-Rock - a dangerous game to play and hard to pull off but these cats do more than just pull it off, they are off the hook cool!
So please welcome my next guest with the velvet voice Maddy Herbert.
