Rick Price Tamborine Mountain Tour
Come and celebrate with Rick Price and hear some of the great hits from this milestone album. Back in April 1995, Rick Price released “River Of Love” the first single from the album Tamborine Mountain which was also released in July of that same year. The single as well as the album scored high on the ARIA Charts. Produced by Rick and acclaimed New York Producer Ben Wisch featuring special guest appearances by Tommy Emmanuel on “Foolish Heart” and Tina Arena who joined Rick for the duet “Trust Me This Is Love”. The album title refers to a picturesque rain forest area located in the Gold Coast Hinterland near Beaudesert where Rick grew up.
After the success of the first single “River of Love” a second single “Bridge Building Man” was released. This song was written as an affecionate salute to his father and grandfather. These songs
remain in Rick’s set list to this day alongside his mega hits “Heaven Knows” “Not A Day Goes By” and “Walk Away Renee”
In 2009 a move to the United States sparked not only new influences and a broader style for Rick but also a return to his childhood musical roots. Rick currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee where he continues to write and record his music. Audiences all over the globe are moved by Rick’s amazing voice and soulful songs. A multi-instrumentalist, he is clearly the consummate performer.
Rick will be playing two sets.

The Vatican featuring Vonda Last, Sonia Smith, Russell Smith
The Vatican presents 'Kin and Country' showcasing the talents of Vonda Last, Sonia Smith and Russell Smith, each offering their unique style of music along with insights into history and country.
Vonda Last presents her folk and singer-songwriter style music that tells stories of resilience, survival, and the cultural experiences of the First Nation people. Her music could be soulful and introspective, offering a window into the personal journeys and struggles of Indigenous communities.
Sonia Smith is a strong and proud Kokatha songwriter and artist. With her powerful voice, music and lyrics, Sonia shares the story of her life, from rock bottom times to the Warrior Woman she is today. Sonia shares her endless strength and resilience through truth-telling and song with all heart and soul.
Russell Smith showcases a more rock or blues-inspired sound, infusing his performances with energy and passion. His music touches on themes of empowerment, activism, and the ongoing fight for Indigenous rights, making for a powerful and engaging musical experience.
By having these three artists with their distinct styles, this event offers a diverse and rich tapestry of First Nation music and storytelling, providing a platform for both entertainment and education.
The Vatican comprises four of Adelaide’s most culturally diverse, experienced, and respected musicians. Headed by former London-based musicians, the effusive Enrico Morena, probably the most skilled drummer in nuanced and soundscape drumming in Australia, and the virtuosic and melodically charged Julian Ferraretto, arguably one of the most in-demand improvisational violinists in the country…both being PhD graduates of the Elder Conservatorium.
On guitar, Alain Valodze, an expressive composer and producer drawing influences from Flamenco, Folk, Brazilian, and Classical as well as Latin music, which come together to create Alain’s melodic and contemporary new age sound. Lastly, Jamie Harrison on electric and double Bass, quiet by nature. A proud Kokatha man and a Graduate of the Elder Conservatorium of Jazz

The Maes - 'Abreast' Tour
The Maes are celebrating the release of their fourth studio album, ‘Abreast’, with a national headline tour encompassing their favourite cities and small towns in Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia! Already in 2025 so far they have toured the UK opening for Grace Petrie and played the Shetland and Orkney Folk Festivals. They celebrated the album’s release day with a sold-out folk-festival-style event, ‘Abreastival’ in their home town of Castlemaine, Central Victoria. The band's previous albums, 2019's self-titled record and 2017's Take Care, Take Cover won the Music Victoria, Folk/Roots Album of the Year among a host of other accolades.
The Maes bring modern folk to life with lush harmonies and acoustic mastery on guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo. Born in Central Victoria, the sisters grew up immersed in a melting pot of music from around the world washed up on stolen land. The Maes are outstanding live, with engaging storytelling and spine-tingling harmonies. The sisters draw their audience in like your sweetest and scariest friend. With echoes of Gillian Welch and The Waifs, there is a timeless luminescence and simplicity to the songwriting and sound of Maggie and Elsie Rigby.
As well as selling out headline shows around the country and overseas, their international festival appearances include the Telluride Bluegrass Festival (USA) Edmonton Folk Festival (Canada) Orkney Folk Festival (UK) and Woodford Folk Festival (Aus).
‘The Maes folk/pop sensibility is alluring. I'm a sucker for harmonies and these girls cover this ground with such bluegrass perfection, it makes me realise so many styles of our music grow from the same old tree - we are merely branches away from each other.’ – Troy Cassar-Daley
I’ve always had such love for The Maes! Their timeless sound is always sung with such sincerity and emotion straight from the heart. – Josh Teskey
​
The Maes have just been announced to tour with Marlon Williams through Europe in April 2026.

The Audreys
Fresh off their recent national tour to celebrate the release of their 5th album Ruin & Repair, alt-folk darlings The Audreys return for a few intimate end of year shows. And what better way to celebrate December shows than to put out a Christmas single. November 14th sees the release of The Audreys' cover of Dolly Parton’s 'Hard Candy Christmas”. First made famous in the 1982 movie The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, the song has been redone in that melancholy style The Audreys have become famous for. Pop along and celebrate the new(ish) album, hear the new single, and maybe even wear a Santa hat. Hey, we won’t judge! Hard to believe that The Audreys first played at Trinity Sessions 20 years ago on 6 February 2005.
