This performance is proudly supported by the Mid West Development Commission in support of Regional Sounds mission to build a crankin' regional music scene. Limited free tickets have been made available for members of Regional Sounds to come and enjoy the performance and hear from WA touring artists and how they have built their career from their regional base.

Rustic Country Duet:

Timika King (Meekatharra) and Barry Taylor (Pilbara)

Timika King is a Meekatharra born and bred music artist, ukulele and guitar, with a strong history in community development. Her cousin Barry is a guitarist and DJ and together they're touring WA, presenting and performing as the Rustic Country Duet.

Brett Wilson:

Margaret River based singer song writer Brett Wilson has spent the last 28 years writing songs with a strong sense of social justice and place.

Never one to repeat himself he plays his uplifting folk, reggae, gypsy grooves with an evocative Dylanesque delivery.

Brett lives and writes his music in a little shack - a converted dairy on farm on Cave‘s road. When he’s not strumming his guitar for his bovine neighbours he‘s either surfing or fronting his gypsy ska band Freeway South.

This August he is traveling up north WA carrying his dream of sharing his music to the kids in rural communities, catch his sets along the coast, let nothing stop the music!

What does it mean to sponsor a table?

As part of our commitment to building a crankin’ regional music scene, we’re seeking support to help us maintain the foreshore music hub venue and music equipment, improve venue accessibility and support local music artists with increased professional development and performance opportunities. If you purchase a sponsor table, we will;

• Reserve a bar table and 4 bar stools in the performance lounge for you

• Provide a space for your organisation to promote products and services

• Recognise your support of a cranking regional music scene in media and marketing for this and future programs :)

Regional Sounds, with support from the Mid West Development Commission, are pleased to host Brett Wilson, an accomplished songwriter and musician, to share their knowledge of songwriting practice, experiences in touring regional WA and lead a jam session!

Participation is free - please bring along your own refreshments, a notebook or capture device and your instrument for the jam.

An open get together for musicians to discuss the fundamentals of songwriting, performing and promoting your work.

Swap ideas, collaborate and develop your work in a supportive setting.

These sessions are facilitated by Tony Turner - The Man Under the Hat.

A new Regional Sounds program where local artists teach their songs to a group who are then encouraged to re‑imagine them into a style of their own. Think Triple J’s Like a Version, but local, live, and community‑powered. Here, pop can become rock. Folk can become rap. Punk can become soul.

At Origins, participants learn directly from the writer, the story, and the song. And this is only the beginning. Our long‑term vision is to record a Regional Sounds “Origins.” album, featuring Geraldton artists covering each other’s material. This program is not just for original artists, we are encouraging all musicians and cover artists alike to learn from their favourite local artists - how cool would it be to hear a local ‘cover’ dropped into a pub set…

Learn the story,
Learn the song, 
Play it,
Perform it,
Pass it on.
