CHARLOTTE LE LIEVRE

Award-winning songwriter, Lucy Wise creates music that gently opens a door you didn’t realise was closed.

Blending contemporary folk with pop-inflected melodies, intricate guitar work and poetic lyricism, Lucy’s songs make space for reflection on longing, connection and the inner lives we carry. Originally from South West Australia and now based in Central Victoria, Lucy has spent over 15 years building a career defined by craft, curiosity and emotional honesty.

By late 2026, she will have released five albums and two EPs, including her forthcoming record ‘Salt’. Inspired by artists such as Joni Mitchell and Madison Cunningham, her work sits between the intimacy of traditional folk and the clarity of modern pop.

A seasoned performer, she has toured extensively across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US, and appeared at festivals including Woodford, Port Fairy and the National Folk Festival. Her work has earned multiple accolades, including Solo Artist of the Year at the 2024 Australian Folk Music Awards.

Diving deep into 90s pop and alt rock sounds, ‘Salt’ draws on music Lucy heard on the radio as a kid, including artists such as Lucinda Williams, Sheryl Crow and Crowded House.

‘Salt’ explores diverse topics, from op shopping, to regional Australian life, to power dynamics, to imagining people at a party as glowing sea creatures. Lucy tells stories of everyday moments that shape us with humour and a whole lotta heart.

Featuring special guest Charlotte Le Lievre.

Jono Brown launches his new album Takes Flight at the Lomond Hotel with support from Charlotte Le Lievre.

Small Town Romance celebrate the launch of their latest single, The Weather, at The Wesley Anne. A stark portrait of a couple riding out a relationship long after the rot has set in.

The single is the first taste of an upcoming release that sees the duo stripping things back and holing up in their shed to record a new collection of songs. Bursting with life and finely attuned insights, these songs foreground the effortless musical understanding between them.

It follows their 2024 album Home Fires, which debuted at No. 5 on the Australian Country ARIA Chart and No. 3 on the AIR Chart, and was selected as a PBS Feature Album, a 3RRR Feature Sounds album, and an ABC Country Spotlight album. Add to that three CMAA Golden Guitar nominations, a Music Victoria nomination and a slew of high-profile festivals and supports already under their belt, Small Town Romance have established themselves as an act that is in it for the long haul.

Joining them on the night is Charlotte Le Lievre, whose music hits the heart in the unique tradition of old-time country songwriters. Drawing upon an array of early country and folk styles, Charlotte pays homage to the origins of this music whilst offering up insightful commentary on contemporary dilemmas.

Hailing from Melbourne, The Ironbark Brothers are a western folk duo built on close harmonies and co-dependence. Enamoured with the Australian folk tradition and classic country music, they’ll play anything from 19th-century bush ballads to American country standards. Never too serious to have a laugh, they can still land a tearjerker when it counts. Heartfelt and rough around the edges, they’re just a couple of neighbourhood country singers.
