BEAT OF MY KIND - Album Launch
QUEEN PORTER STOMP
Queen Porter Stomp conjure up a unique kind of mangrove swamp magic. Drawing on the serpentine and muddy currents of the Hawkesbury River, their sound swirls somewhere between a raucous New Orleans street parade and the smoky haze of a late-night folk festival. In a feet-stomping, skirt-twirling, dance floor frenzy, Queen Porter Stomp send you a blaze of horns and a swinging rhythm section with a banjo sharp enough to cut through a moonless night - all held together front and centre by Crystal Barreca’s honey like voice.
From Woodford to Falls Festival, Queen Porter Stomp have built a reputation for music that celebrates brass-soaked swing and river-born rhythm. At the heart of this celebration is song writing rich with sweet harmonies that uniquely captures the ebb and flow of love and life on the river, peppered with the grit and bustle of Sydney’s Inner West.
Formed in 2015 from the embers of the Crystal Barreca Band, QPS bring an energy to the stage that is both joyful and seductive and pays homage to influences such as Norah Jones, Sierra Ferrell and Tuba Skinny.

PATINA
Patina is a unique trio performing original compositions, drawn from folk influences from around the globe. Steeped in balkan, klezmer and tango sounds with a little folk-punk thrown in, their songs dance from one style to the next, from the sweet to the upbeat.
Their innovative instrumentation features clarinet, accordion, foot percussion, euphonium, santur and a home-made electric banjo/guitar, and over the years the members have also performed in Chaika, Barons of Tang, Mutiny and Black Vat Trio to name a few.
