THE RACONTUERS
The Raconteurs are a genre-blending Cairns ensemble celebrated for their explosive, infectious live shows that fuse ska, funk, soul, and fiery guitar riffs. Featuring top North Queensland musicians like David Breeze, Steven ‘Papa’ Stanley, Matt Gerdes, Paul Barton, and Jen Fengler, they operate as a loose collective driven by groove and improvisation. Since forming in 2004, they’ve built a strong reputation in the Cairns music scene for their original songs and high-energy covers that keep audiences dancing.
TESSA DEVINE
As a multi-instrumentalist indie-folk singer-songwriter, Tessa possesses a vocal range that traverses from her deep love-drenched lows, to sublime soprano heights. Her diary's poetry becomes soul-stirring songs. Together, her tales and tunes break the rules, giving a profound and enchanting experience.
TULLARA
Tullara is a Northern NSW folk-roots artist whose soulful vocals, dynamic guitar work, and raw storytelling have earned her national and international acclaim. Since her debut EP Better Hold ON won “Best EP” at the 2017 Australian Roots Music Awards, she’s toured widely, supporting acts like The Waifs, Xavier Rudd, and Donavon Frankenreiter. With over 1.6 million Spotify streams and standout performances at festivals from Woodford to Europe, Tullara continues to captivate audiences with her honesty, passion, and infectious stage presence. A master of the guitar with a voice that echoes the roots of blues, Tullara’s music is a journey through emotion and rhythm, leaving a lasting impression on all who hear it.
ROB HOWE & THE GUILLOTINES
Rob Howe & The Guillotines are a Cairns indie-rock outfit led by UK artist Rob Howe (ex-Polarsets), blending hooky guitar lines with anthemic, festival-ready energy. Drawing influence from storytellers like Bruce Springsteen and echoing the raw, punchy vibe of The Kinks, their sound bridges timeless rock grit with modern flair. Featuring powerhouse drummer Jack Brant alongside acclaimed artist Tullara, the band has headlined Elixir Music House, released singles including Lying Awake, and lit up stages at Cairns Festival and the iconic Tanks Arts Centre. Known for high-energy sets and strong songwriting, they’ve cemented themselves as a standout act in the Far North Queensland live scene.
MOSES WARUSAM
Moses Warusam’s music is deeply rooted in reggae, yet expands far beyond the genre with layers of acoustic, soul, and world influences that reflect both his Torres Strait Islander heritage and his broad musical sensibility. A gifted multi-instrumentalist, he brings a hands-on approach to his work, often playing guitar, bass, keyboards, synth, drums, percussion, and traditional island drums to craft rich, textured arrangements. His songwriting is heartfelt and emotive, weaving themes of love, resilience, and cultural pride into melodies that balance depth with accessibility. This blend of reggae rhythms, soulful vocals, and indigenous soundscapes gives his music a distinctive identity — both grounded in tradition and forward-looking in its artistry.
These artists, each with their unique flair, contribute richly to the blues and roots music scene, offering listeners a diverse range of sounds and stories.
