Fine Tuning is an open mic night with a difference! You are invited to share your new tunes and works in progress with a small and supportive group that knows how vulnerable it is to get up there and share your music. We’re all about making sure the atmosphere is fully supportive and you don’t have to stress about making a mistake or forgetting the words ( even though you wrote them yourself), because most of us will have been in the same boat at some point. Welcome to musicians of all kinds with a work or 3 to share ( anything goes as long as you can plug it into a basic PA setup or perform acoustically) and supporters of emerging artists. We always love to hear new stuff and what you’ve been working on!

If you’re keen to register to play please fill out the registration on humanitix or email hello@regionalsounds.com.au

Our Creative Hub open sessions are a chance to drop into the Regional Sounds venue and work on your music or writing- either collaboratively, or on your own.

The upstairs performance area will be set up for a free jam session while the downstairs lounge area, co-working space and writing room will be open for quieter, acoustic use.

Connect with fellow creatives, have a jam session, bring your ideas to life, or chill out in the lounge area and get in the zone to work on your own stuff!

Nic Courtney is a born and bred Geraldton kid who moved over to Melbourne at 18 to pursue his dream of being a professional musician/drummer. He's toured Australia

multiple times, The Philippines and New Zealand and has also performed for multiple International Artists in the recent months as a session musician.

This workshop will combine very useful technical tips and tricks on drumming, as well as covering all bases required to be a professional musician- music, performances and life.

Nic's aim for the masterclasses are not only about music but also for inspiration that no matter what you want to do, it's very achievable if you put the hard work in!

These are for event organisers, project coordinators and support crew involved in the local music industry. The aim is to help facilitate a greater level of collaboration and support within the industry as a whole.

The meetups are planned to bring those working in the industry* together to meet at regular intervals to help build up our relationships with each other and increase knowledge, understanding and support for what everyones working towards.

This first one will be super casual, mostly just about getting everyone together around the same table with snacks and light refreshments provided. We’d absolutely love to see you there and find out more about your work!

*(including but not limited to: event organisers, programmers, creative producers, bookers and promoters, recording studio managers, sound engineers, venue managers)

We will be holding a drop in creative hub space Saturday 21st October from 10-1pm. This creative Hub space coincides with The Geraldton Project's art workshop, which will be held downstairs while we have our jam session upstairs in our performance space at 246 Marine Terrace.

Internationally renowned Aussie Bluesman Nathan Cavaleri is sweeping through the Mid West next year for an intimate show at Regionals Sounds.

After many failed attempts and years of trying to cross the border, Nathan Cavaleri will finally be making his triumphant live return to Western Australia as he embarks on a mammoth 10 date, state-wide tour in March 2023.

Much of the country was oblivious to the career Nathan led beyond prime time Australia. By age 12, he found himself the centre of a bidding war between the labels of Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna. By age 16 he'd toured with B.B. King as his guest, and played at the Kennedy Centre in front of The Clintons with Etta James and Bonnie Raitt.

Since his return to the stage in 2019, Nathan has made huge waves in stamping his footprint back on the Music Scene. From having a dedicated episode of “Australian Story” air on national television, wowing audiences as one of the largest Artists on Twitch globally to live stream an entire album creation process, to performing to 1000’s of people at key major festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest & Caloundra Music Festival, Nathan is back and bringing his latest show on the road in support of his brand new single; Cool Changes.

“Cool Changes” – an indie surf inspired track with weeping guitar melodies, sauntering beats and spacious harmonies marks the first of fourth singles to be released ahead of his much anticipated fourth album early next year. Whilst Nathan’s largest creations see him let go of the title B.B. King gave him as “the future of blues,” audiences can still expect to hear blues roots at the heart of his latest show, which has been proudly supported by the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund.

With a desire to make up for lost time and a mantra to “bring his show to the people,” the tour will have Nathan performing all over the state including in some of WA’s most regional and remote towns for the first time in over 25 years!

And he is stopping in to share an intimate story-focused show in Geraldton next year.
