Artist bios:
Tim Darby is a singer, songwriter, poet, writer, sand sculptor and urban goat farmer. Perth Based, Tim is a prolific song writer who has been shortlisted for WAM and ASA ‘Song of The Year’. Tim won second place in 2024 Australian Songwriters Association (Novelty/Comedy Category) and all three of his songs have been short listed this year. Accompanied by a sound track picked on banjo, ukulele, dulcimer and guitar his neuro-atypical brain creates songs from topics like a vegan born into a family of whale hunters a polyamorous mermaid choosing between a fish and a fisherman or the bowel movements of a sloth…
Tim combines thought-provoking lyrical story telling with a folk-funk-bluegrass-country-fusion genre (AKA “Clonk”). Quirky, funny, heartfelt and always interesting, his songs will leave you with happy ears, a warm feeling in your belly and catchy earworms rolling around in your brain long after the performance echoes fade away.
When not performing solo, Tim plays in various musical projects including Alfalfa Males and the trio String and Bone. Together with his partner Shani Graham, Tim has been curating a series of private musical house concerts for many years in Perth.
String and Bone were been chosen as Short And Sweet for Nanga Music Festival in 2022, Emerging Talent Competition at Nanga in 2023, and now asked to return to Nanga in 2026
Darcy Hay
Geraldton based Darcy Hay writes and performs songs of triumph and sorrow that speak to the least powerful people in society, and are steeped in the Midwest, working-class surroundings that he's grown up in.
Playing across country, blues and folk, Hay's music channels songwriters like Paul Kelly, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Bruce Springsteen, and features deft fingerpicking, slide guitar and harmonica. His broad, ‘everyman voice’ imparts feeling and meaning to his music. Combined with his other talents, Darcy uses that voice on the stage and screen as an emerging actor and for radio, hosting his own weekly radio show Darcy's Country on Perth’s number 1 online radio station DRN1.
Home grown on Gregory St House Concert will be Geraldton’s last opportunity to take in Darcy’s breadth of original musical as his many talents are calling him to Perth.
