Jed is..…“A ONE-MAN BAND”, He is funny and always totally unpredictable. “You will never know what song Jed will play next.”

Jed has developed a unique show that involves acoustic guitar, electric guitar and sax. His multi-instrumentation allows a variety of sounds and styles. This, coupled with his ability to get audiences to sing along is Jed’s recipe for a great night. Whether it’s fully acoustic with a stomp box, or with quality backing tracks for a full band sound, he always leaves audiences wanting more.

Jed’s history in performing includes rock and roll bands, blues bands, country bands, some of Sydney’s premier cover bands and now a long- established solo act. With this experience under his belt, you can expect Jed to deliver professionalism both on and off the stage, and a show to be remembered.

From rich heart-felt ballads to rock, pop and the blues, from John Denver to The Black Keys, Jason Mraz to INXS, Neil Diamond to Kings of Leon, Jed will play your song!

Lennox Head-based bluegrass band, The Mumblers, play a mix of  traditional bluegrass, original songs and evocative adaptations, bringing traditional sounds to life with plenty of thump and groove on the bottom end.

The six-piece band combines electric bass, kick drum and washboard with the more traditional fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar and three-part harmonies on vocals to create the unique Mumblers experience – a raucous coproduction of joyful performances and foot stomping crowds.

The band has been playing locally for more than 10 years, packing out iconic local venues such as ‘The Rails’, "the Shawsie’ and the Lennox Point Hotel, as well as festivals including the Redlands Blues Festival, The Ballina Country Music Festival and the Bangalow Bluegrass Barbeque.

Look out for the loyal fan base wearing the band t-shirt and mind your toes!

David Cameron is one of Australia’s most experienced Musical Directors and accompanists.  He began his career some forty years ago in Rock ‘n’ Roll and, since that time, he has worked in all aspects of the music industry.

David has toured nationally and internationally, accompanying some of Australia’s finest entertainers, including Hugh Jackman, Marina Prior, David Hobson, Judith Durham, Debra Byrne, Silvie Paladino, Denis Walter and The Seekers.

As Music Director, David has developed shows and also performed with Frank Holden, Denise Drysdale, Rachael Beck and many others.

David has also worked with international performers including Helen Reddy, Jose Feliciano, Max Merritt, and Gerry Marsden.

In contrast to working as an accompanist, David recently recorded an album - Sound of Breathing - on which he played the sitar and composed all tracks.  The music has subsequently been used on in-flight relaxation channels, here and overseas, and in a documentary about Indian culture.

David currently combines his work as an accompanist and Musical Director with leading his own cabaret band.  He has also recently co-produced albums for Marina Prior and Denis Walter.
