BIO's:

Lucky Oceans was born in Philadelphia in 1951. He co-founded and named 'Asleep at the Wheel' with whom he toured the world, recorded 7 albums for major labels and won two Grammy Awards, in 1978 and 1993. He is listed in Hugh Gregory’s book, ‘1000 Great Guitarists.’ In 1995, Lucky became the presenter of ‘The Daily Planet,’ a daily world music program on ABC Radio National, a position that enabled him to introduce the world to his many musical passions and which made him a central figure in Australia’s cultural life for 21 years. He continues to be active in live music on a major scale, touring with major artists and performing regularly with his group the 'Zydecats' and the Lucky Oceans Band whose recording, 'Secret Steel' was called, A head-spinning, genre-dissolving album of deliciously bent notes and reimagined "sacred steel" rave-ups by Richard Gehr in New York's 'Village Voice.'

King Arthur are a new Country and Western Swing band co-led by Louis King (Sex on Toast, The Lagerphones, The Collingwood Casanovas) and Grant Arthur (C.W Stoneking, The Cope St. Parade, The Collingwood Casanovas). Influenced by classic Western Swing of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys and Australian bands like The Baylor Brothers and The Dancehall Racketeers, King Arthur play classic swing and country from the 30s through to today as well as a swathe of classy originals. Expect flashy fiddle playing, fiery Telecaster licks, and sweet steel guitar sounds, all over a powerful Honky Tonk beat. King Arthur are a youthful Larrikin romp through a golden era of American music.

The Collingwood Casanovas are a 5 piece Bluegrass band from Melbourne, Australia. Drawing on the raw emotional sound of Bill Monroe and The Stanley Brothers the Casanovas have made their homes in Pubs and beer gardens performing hundreds of gigs since their inception in 2015. Playing classic Bluegrass and Country repertoire along with charming originals the Casanovas are Urban Bluegrass with plenty of fire and spark, going from burning picking to sweet harmonies with just the right amount of rough edges."
