---

You can expect the night to start with folk music, finish with punk music, and explore some intense moments of rogue folk in between.

8.45-9.15pm
RYAN GARTH AND BAE HARRISON-DAY will be performing intimate, stripped-back renditions of the Ragged Hollow repertoire on fiddle and guitar. Showcasing Ryan’s cynical, cerebral songwriting.

9.30-10.00pm
ZAC HENDERSON is a much loved and applauded Tasmanian based singer/songwriter described as a storyteller with influences from folk & blues.”Aussie folk that just feels like home. Full of warmth, character and cleverly worded anecdotes that force you to be slow and really sink in.” – Like Velvet Music

10.15-10.45pm
THE DOMINIC FRANCIS GRIEF ENSEMBLE are much like the Tasmanian landscape, the ensemble is wild, rugged and scarred by the impact of suburban influences. Yet to be sanctioned as the only boy band to boast a bones player, this is Rogue Folk at it’s darned finest – brutal, impolite and highly danceable.

11.00-11.30pm
FISTFUL OF FISCAL are a newish band, featuring 3/5th of The Dead Maggies, and playing hardcore punk (with a violin). The music is; short, fast, loud, fun, political, satirical, and financial. Influences include Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Idles, The Dirty Three and NowyourefuckeD.

The Venue | The Founders Room

Salamanca Arts Centre is a multi venue organisation that showcases theatre, music and visual art and is based in nipaluna/Hobart on Salamanca Place.

In January 2022, Salamanca Arts Centre launched a live music program focused on showcasing original music and was developed in collaboration with promoters from diverse scenes and communities. As part of this program there are recurring events including Archive, Jazzamanca curated by Ted Vining, QT Cabaret produced by Hera Fox and PROTEM curated by Lucien Simon and Sam Dowson.

This new program is a welcome boost to the local live music scene ensuring there is a place for audiences to watch and listen to original Tasmanian music at a time when the music scene in Tasmania has never been so vibrant, eclectic and engaging.

*** CANCELLED! ***
Sadly, Harry is now unable to travel from Melbourne so we will need to cancel this performance scheduled for Friday evening. Apologies for the inconvenience and we hope Harry can join us at another time.

Harry Tinney is a Melbourne-based touring and recording artist, who is quickly cementing his place within the Australian improvised music scene with a characteristic approach to the guitar. Harry has worked with Australian jazz luminaries Barney McAll and Julien Wilson, as well producing his own music with his co-led Hammond trio “Organix” and post-rock outfit “Wastelands”. Harry released his debut album “Kingsnake” in 2019, and his sophomore album “Wastelands” is due for release in late 2022.

For this performance Harry will be playing his original compositions, joined by Alf Jackson on drums and Hamish Houston on bass.

For its debut performance, the Alf Jackson Quintet will be performing a spectrum of music from composer and multi-instrumentalist, Ornette Coleman and his collaborators for Jazzamanca.

Coleman’s music is unparalleled. The vectors of Ornette’s lexicon, suspends preconceptions of music and is heard in his “fierce love with an outlaw music that he could hear but didn’t quite yet know how and with whom to play.”
It is heard in his exploration of the plastic saxophone, in the sound of Denardo Coleman (Ornette’s son) on the 1969 album, and in the anecdotes of Coleman bewildering punters and musicians alike during the height of the Bebop era.

The Alf Jackson Quintet takes Ornette’s approach as a provocation towards old and new dreams and attempts to attune to the many registers of Ornette’s playing, compositions and historical resonance.

Jon Smeathers – alto saxophone
Julius Schwing – guitars
Hamish Houston – double bass
Dom Nguyen – double bass
Alf Jackson – drums
