- **Event Description**: Our April Feature Artist - Dan Hannaford

It’s been a while since Dan Hannaford last took our stage — and we’ve missed him. A past favourite at our open mics, Dan returns this month with his signature blend of grit, soul, and outlaw spirit. We’re keen to welcome him back and hear what he’s been up to.

From gospel to punk to outlaw country, Dan’s musical journey is as raw and real as the stories he tells through song. A Byron Bay original, he’s shared stages with the likes of Charlie Musselwhite, Tex Perkins, The Black Sorrows, and Ash Grunwald, captivating crowds with a voice soaked in blues and lyrics that cut straight to the heart.

Born the son of a preacher, his earliest beats came from hymns and drums in church. Since then, he's carved a path across Australia’s east coast and beyond — from pub rock gigs to major festivals and international recording sessions.

Catch him live in our April Open Mic Feature slot and experience one of the most authentic voices in our music scene.

12:30 PM to 3:00 PM - Open Mic (White Board Session) Bring your stories, your instruments, your voice, your favourite song- whatever your heart desires. The stage is open to all. It's your moment to shine in our welcoming, creative community. Sign-ups are first-come, first-served, so be sure to arrive early to secure your spot!

3:30 PM to 4:30 PM - Grab a cold drink from our bar, sit back, and be entertained by Dan.

Bar notice: Just a heads-up that our bar is cash-only. But don't worry, you can easily grab some cash at the front counter using your EFTPOS card. We've noticed a few puzzled faces when it comes to this setup, so we want to make sure everyone's in the loop! This way, you won't miss a beat (or a drink) during the performances. Cheers to great music and good times!
