Supported by Ashkan Shafiei and Shanty Club:

Drawing from Iranian folk traditions and the sounds of 1960s and ’70s Tehran, Ashkan Shafiei blends nostalgia with experimentation. Raised on smuggled pre-revolution cassette tapes and later shaped by Western influences, his groovy sound—driven by hypnotic rubab melodies and inventive rhythms—leads audiences into a trance-like experience.

Shanty Club has been bringing friends and strangers together to sing in Sydney bars for over a decade. With an infectious energy and a wide repertoire of shanties, work songs, and folk music, they create an atmosphere where everyone can join in, no matter their singing ability!

“They’re not just making music—they’re crafting a vibrant tapestry of personal stories and infectious energy that dares you to celebrate your body and embrace self-love like never before” — Tsk Tsk Magazine

“As an 8-piece, they create a 'pressure cooker' where antics get wild... featuring three of Adelaide’s most commanding and raunchy vocalists who decided that sharing one stage was the only sensible option” — Australian Music Scene
