Look Who’s Walking
Matthew Bracknell
The biggest influence of all has been nature. From playing and surfing in ocean currents and winding rivers, to immersing and listening to the sounds of the bush, I am perpetually inspired and delighted by the beautiful mystery of nature.
Carla Geneve
Carla Geneve is a 21 year old singer-songwriter based in Fremantle, Western Australia. Backed by a captivating show and unique brand of brutally honest lyricism, Geneve established herself as one of Australia's most prominent up and coming artists.
Anastasia Beasley
Anastasia Beasley is an arts worker and artist interested in storytelling, found materials, events, and science. Fremantle has been home to her family for generations, and now it's home to her too.
Jack Davies
Jack Davies is a folk singer and songwriter based in Fremantle. At only 20 years old, he is widely regarded for his powerful lyricism and witty storytelling, weaving suburban Australiana and intimate stories into thundering folk-rock ballads. Although still an avid busker, for the past two years Jack has been playing across the country with his folk rock band The Bush Chooks.
