From their inception, The Waifs traversed Australia playing every small town with a local paper, a local radio station, a pub or hall that would host live music, and someone willing to listen, of which there were many!

Constant touring laid a broad foundation, musical chemistry and an approachable relatability through their lyrics, solidified a lifelong dedicated fan base.

The original independent avant-garde folk heroes turned multiplatinum-selling, multiple ARIA Award-winning, international touring outfit have released eight LPs, self-titled The Waifs (1996), Shelter Me (1998) and Sink or Swim (2000), Up All Night (2003), Sun Dirt Water (2007), Temptation (2011), Beautiful You (2015) and Ironbark (2017), and two live albums A Brief History (2004) and Live From the Union Of Soul (2009).

They have headlined countless festival stages and sold-out tours across the globe, opening for the likes of the legend himself, Bob Dylan.

The Waifs continue to forge a proudly independent path 30 years on and show no sign of slowing down. Donna Simpson, Vikki Thorn, and Josh Cunningham (with ever faithful and long-standing rhythm section of David Ross Macdonald and Ben Franz) continue to share their folk-infused, feel-good sounds with adoring, now multi generational audiences.

For nearly two decades Donavon Frankenreiter has been traveling the globe, first as a professional surfer and now as a musician. Born in Southern California, Donavon spent most of his youth chasing waves, turning pro at the age of 16.

These days instead of surf competitions, it’s concert halls that bring Frankenreiter to town, where he entertains audiences with his unique blend of laid-back grooves, philosophical lyrics and soulful delivery.

Frankenreiter recently released his first studio album in 9 years. Entitled 'Get Outta Your Mind' the album marks the 20 year anniversary of his self-titled debut album.

Beginning as a side hustle from their already established indie-folk band, The Little Stevies, in 2015, inspired by the need to teach Byll’s three-year-old about the challenges of toilet training, sisters Byll & Beth started playing around writing children’s songs.

What began as a side-hobby became so fun and effective that before they knew it, their debut album ‘Useful Songs for Little People’ had become a word-of-mouth sensation around Australia.

They’ve since released 4 albums through ABC Music, won an ARIA and two AIR Awards, appeared on Play School & Gardening Australia Junior, been commission to write for Sesame Street in the US & signed a book deal with Harper Collins.

Their live shows are the ultimate live gig experience for young families. The old feel young, the young feel like grown ups and everyone just meets somewhere in the middle for a rocking good time.
