Join us for a Side by Side show at the Learning Centre Hall in Pioneer Reserve, Yea on Saturday 31 January.
Ricki Wood, Kane Vincent, and The Wildlings will share the stage together, taking turns to play their songs, swap stories, and let the night unfold in its own honest, easy way.
Doors open 6:30pm.
Music from 7pm
It’s a relaxed, bring-what-you-like kind of evening — BYO food and drinks and settle in for a warm, intimate night of live music.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Kane Vincent
What’s a chef to do when he’s over the smoky grills, long hours,
family drama, relationships, and life in general? Some blokes buy a
Harley, some chase younger women, well Kane Vincent took the
advice of a Jason Isbell song to “find what makes you happy ... and
do it till you’re gone,” picked up his old Maton, and got stuck into it.
Over the last seven years he’s lugged that guitar from pubs, to
parties, and festivals, but is no longer singing in the kitchen.
A loveable spirit, impressive song writing, and
engaging vocals won him the 2024 Country On Keppel
Talent Search; a definitive “I reckon I can do this” moment.
Keenly observant, Kane finds lyrical inspiration in both the mundane
and extraordinary stories of the everyday. These songs have a
folk/pop sensibility, a soulful edge, more than a hint of country and a
familiar nod to the blues.

The Wildlings
Nestled deep in regional Victoria, The Wildlings are an indie-folk duo blending moody songwriting with striking harmonies and a touch of dramatic flair. Whilst firmly rooted in indie-folk, their sound incorporates accessible pop melodies, creating music that is both thoughtful and catchy.
Made up of friends Drew Walker & Ryan Gay, the Northern Victorian pair have been writing, recording, and playing shows around the country since 2023. Known for their raw, introspective lyricism and hands-on approach to production, The Wildlings are passionate storytellers who handle everything from songwriting, to their art and visuals themselves – staying true to their fiercely independent spirit.
With multiple festival slots and a selection of singles now under their belt, The Wildlings are gearing up for the release of their debut EP just across the horizon.
Ricki Wood
Ricki is a country folk and acoustic singer-songwriter whose music walks the line between earthy simplicity and emotional depth. Drawing from a life well-travelled and a heart still wide open, Ricki shares songs shaped by personal experience and a quiet yearning for something more — connection, truth, and the kind of meaning you don’t always find in words.
“Emotive, heartfelt, authentic”
Dallas Frasca
Ricki brings a stripped-back, no-frills presence to every stage he steps on. His style echoes the introspective spirit of artists like Shane Nicholson, Colin Hay, John Williamson and Paul Kelly — storytellers who don’t just sing at you, but with you.
Ricki's latest single 'Back in my day" (released Nov 14, 2025) has been snapped up by more than 150 radio stations worldwide within its first week of release with more being added daily.
