Thundering roots-rock, sun-baked blues, hilarious tales and beatbox world groove – Nathan Kaye is much more than your contemporary one-man band with roaring vocals, ball-tearing lap steel slide guitar-playing, funky didge-blowing, and body-popping. He’s a human beatbox freak with wit and spirit.
Wednesday from 6pm at the Beach Hotel, Byron Bay.
Free show

Stephen Lovelight plays faithfully in the style of Robert Johnson and Skip James, pushing his voice and guitar ever in the direction of some kind of facsimile of truth – not always pretty, but always very sweaty – he means what he says even if not saying what he means.
Monday at The Rails, Byron Bay.
Free show
Marshall Okell is a solo show full of hillbilly disco, and foot-stomping, good old-fashioned, Aussie beer drinking music. Swampy mojo working sounds and a lot of charismatic humour – a raw, honest, dirty blues sound that grabs you by the throat and then soothes you with a sweet, honey-tasting musical medicine.
