Q. Which large, gray ghost sings haunting jazz songs?
A. Elephants Gerald!

The Spooky Anticlinal Fold is a modern Jazz group whose focus is on performing original compositions in a swinging and progressive style. This Castlemaine-based band first formed in 2019 for a series of weekly ‘Jazz on the Verandah’ fundraisers. The band is now a regular featured act at The Coolroom, Northern Arts Hotel. 

The Anticlinal Fold was founded by composer and pianist Jem 'The Bat' Challender, a past winner of the Australian Songwriters Competition and a grand finalist in the UK Songwriting Contest. Jem studied improvisation and piano at the AIM under George Golla and Dave McRae. Jem then moved to the UK, spending 15 years playing and touring around the UK. Jem returned to Castlemaine seven years ago with a determination to collaborate with local musicians. 

'Spooky' Jo Huf - In 2024, the Anticlinal Fold welcomed an exceptional addition to their lineup: Jo Huf, a brilliant vocalist and guitarist from Castlemaine. She is a darling and passionate improviser, a swinging Jazz vocalist and an expert in Brazilian music. 

For this gig the rhythm section is composed of Bendigo-based double bassist, Ben 'The Friendly Ghost' Gibbons - a virtuosic soloist, widely regarded as the finest double bassist in the region. In early 2023, Jem Challender and Ben Gibbons released this EP together. Arron 'Pumpkin' Light is on drums. Arron’s work with the band Husky was nominated for an Aria.
