ADELAIDE'S INTIMATE CONCERT VENUE
Friday 13 February 7.30pm
Taylor Sheridan
Taylor Sheridan was a crowd favourite at his January 2025 show at Trinity Sessions; he promised he would be back in 2026 and it is happening. His recent single, ‘Stories’, is an ode to the massive road travelled so far and the adventure to come. Taylor has recently opened (again!) Jimmy Barnes on his national tour and hit #1 on the ARIA Country Albums Chart with his debut record Troubadour. Yet,Taylor Sheridan’s music remains grounded in authentic storytelling.
Earthy acoustic tones, soaring contemporary melodies and sincere storytelling – this is Taylor Sheridan’s music and live performances. His hometown of Kyneton is where he got his start. Nestled in regional Victoria, it was the kind of place where everyone knew your name. His parents worked honest jobs - his dad on the farm, his mum at the local paper. There was no jukebox at home, no lineage of performers to follow - music wasn’t in his blood, but somehow, it was already in his bones.
Fast forward and Taylor has supported artists like Pete Murray, Vanessa Amorosi, and Daryl Braithwaite, toured nationally on the lineup for the Red Hot Summer Tour and One Electric Day, shared stages with international icons Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight, and spent five years on the road as a full-time member of ARIA Award winning rock band Taxiride.

The Ocelots
“Steeped in classic singer-songwriter Americana, invoking everyone from vintage Neil Young to Sufjan Stevens.” – UNCUT
Blood harmonies are the centre of Irish twins The Ocelots sound - imperfections of a voice breaking or a tempo shifting. Compelling indie-folk with open tuned guitar, clawhammer banjo and harmonica, the twin brothers blend absurdity, sincerity and hilarious stage banter into an array of literature-inspired musings.
Returning to Australia for their third tour, after runs in 2019 and 2020, The Ocelots are playing songs from their new album Everything, When Said Slowly, and appearing at Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), Port Fairy Folk Festival (VIC), Blue Mountains Music Festival (NSW), Nannup Music Festival (WA) and venue shows across the country from January to March 2026.

Steve Poltz
Steve Poltz has fun on stage. Steve Poltz has fun off stage. Every show has its own vibe. Raucous, joyous, improvisational and always strange. Stellar guitar work and songs that will have you smiling one minute and crying the next. Born in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada, raised in Southern California and now living in Nashville Tennessee, Steve Poltz has toured Australia over 20 times and is a master of improvisational songwriting and works without a set list to be free to react instantly to the mood of a room. After over a dozen albums, he’s still creatively firing on all cylinders and critically acclaimed by the likes of Rolling Stone, Associated Press, Billboard and many more. He also thinks he's an attorney for dogs but that's a whole different story. Catch him while you can. He's elusive like Bigfoot.
Trinity Sessions love Steve Poltz; some of our most enjoyable nights have been seeing Steve Poltz live. Wherever he plays, from festivals sharing the stage with Emmy Lou Harris, to the Grand Ole Opry, to the smallest of cafes in Nova Scotia Steve always plays his best show ever.

Vika & Linda
We are beyond thrilled to have the dynamic and incredible Vika & Linda at Trinity Sessions for the first time.
Vika & Linda have been harmonising since childhood, learning to sing in church under the guidance of their mother, Siniva, a proud Tongan woman who brought her love of music to Australia in 1959. From those joyful beginnings to the world stage, they have carved out an extraordinary career. Releasing eight studio albums, two live albums, and a chart-topping anthology, ‘Akilotoa, and with a brand new album “Where Do You Come From?” coming out in June, Vika & Linda are admired by peers and adored by fans. They’ve been nominated for six ARIA Awards and, in 2022, received the Medal of the Order of Australia for their service to the performing arts. From soulful harmonies to powerhouse performances, they embody endurance, generosity, and joy; they remain Australia’s most loved vocal duo—an irresistible blend of soul, harmony, and heart. Vika & Linda will present a very special exclusive show for Trinity Sessions with their renowned guitarist Ben Hauptmann, featuring the songs and stories of their inimitable career.
Vika & Linda will be doing one set. No support

Mike McClellan
Mike McClellan first took to the stage at the Troubadour in Sydney in 1965. The audience witnessed a young man with the engaging tenor voice and remarkable guitar technique who would go on to become one of Australia’s most acclaimed singer, songwriter, guitarists.
And while still enchanting audiences in 2025, and seemingly ageless, Mike has suggested that this tour will be the last one he will undertake. His concerts will feature songs from his entire career: his classic 1974 hit Song and Dance Man, his second hit, the Vanda and Young produced The One I Love, I Wonder Who You’re Waiting For, a new song from a wonderful series of late career albums, to his powerful Letter To America from his 12th album for which Bob Dylan gave him permission to use one of his lines.

They bring our history to life.” (ABC Radio National)

Ami Williamson
“Forceful, funny, powerful and poetic, Ami Williamson is a Folk Singer/Songwriter like no other!” (SMH)
Ami is one of those rare female singers. While her roots are firmly in the tradition of singer/songwriter, her richly diverse upbringing had Ami taking the stage not only in opera and classical, but also touring with her father, John Williamson.
Today, after many albums and concerts, Ami’s celebrated “One Woman Show” has been performed at major festivals and venues in Australia and abroad. ”Ami Williamson is my favourite Australian act!” (International Folk Icon Judy Collins)
Ami’s show has been described as a ‘roller coaster of fun’. Her songs are wicked, poignant and sometimes downright hilarious – matched by her brilliant, versatile voice and flamboyant stage presence

Since her Australian debut in 2020, she has returned for multiple tours, selling out shows in cities around the country and building a passionate local following.

Ella Hooper
Ella Hooper is hitting the road with a sharp, heartfelt edge to her ever-evolving take on Americana. Ella’s gift for storytelling and humour shines as she fronts a dynamic band, laced with fiddle, guitar, warm group harmonies and more than a little grit. A beloved Australian artist, ex-teenage rockstar (Killing Heidi), multi-award-winning songwriter, radio and TV host, proud small-town girl and lifelong Americana devotee, Ella Hooper was raised on Linda Ronstadt and is today inspired by genre-defying storytellers like Jenny Lewis and Sierra Ferrell. Her new country / Americana tunes spring from those roots - live shows delivered with the fire of a rocker, the pen of a poet and a cheeky regional Australian humour that is all her own.
Playing some favourites from Small Town Temple the album that debuted at No.1 on the Australian Country chart, Ella will also be sharing a sneak peek of new music recorded in Nashville in 2025.
There are bar room stompers, spectral ballads with a contemporary edge, and hooks sharp enough to draw blood.
Call it Americana, call it alt-country, call it what you like. Hooper puts it this way: “Can you really ‘go country’ if you’re from the country in the first place?”
With special guests Tin Town the new collaboration between seasoned Australian artists Courtney Robb and Snooks La Vie. As a wife-and-husband duo, they deliver grounded, folk-country melodies and unfiltered storytelling. Their songs feel vulnerable but intentional – the kind of music that doesn’t need to raise its voice to be heard.

This performance sees one of Australia’s most successful and respected singer/songwriters performing an intimate concert of songs drawn from his vast back catalogue of recordings. This is a chance to hear the acclaimed singer songwriter Lior in a manner harking back to archetypal ‘salon’ concerts; where both audience and performer share an evening enjoying the connection that only proximity can offer.
Lior burst on to the Australian music scene in 2005 with his stunning debut album - ‘Autumn Flow’. Recorded and released entirely independently, and spearheaded by ‘This Old Love’ and subsequent singles ‘Daniel’ and ‘Autumn Flow’, the album became one of the most successful independent debuts in Australian history.
A swag of accolades followed, amongst them three Aria nominations (including Best Male Artist), as well as Triple J’s prestigious ‘J Award’ nomination for Album of the Year. Subsequent releases ‘Corner of an Endless Road’, (2008) and ‘Tumbling into the Dawn’ (2010) were also a huge success, debuting at #2 on the Australian Albums chart and topping the Independent charts for several weeks, as well as earning the gifted songwriter a further three Aria nominations.
Lior is known for his dynamic and moving performances, and has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s finest live performers. He is part of a rare breed of artists that has achieved a great degree of success and critical acclaim, whilst maintaining an independence and individuality in their craft.
Don’t miss the chance to see him in this intimate solo show at one of Adelaide's best sounding venues.
