Bringing you a summer of live music, here in Ivanhoe.
For several months this year, Ivanhoe Library and Cultural Hub will be a place to catch performances by some fabulous artists from Australia’s contemporary live music scene.
In partnership with Music Victoria, we will be programming 2 bands for each event, featuring both emerging and established acts.
All are welcome to come and enjoy.
Growing up aside the sandstone mountains and wildflowers of the Grampians, Skye is inspired by her roots. Now calling Melbourne home she says, 'I take great pride in my heritage, and to combine both music and my background brings me an unexplainable amount of pride and happiness.' Skye’s vital relationship between her music and own life experience remains at the core of her art. Her body of work serving as a lens through which she continues to synthesise who, and what, her essence of being truly is.
An array of dazzling single releases have culminated in 2 fully-formulated albums, the chart-topping 2018 debut Friends with Feelings and 2021’s I Feel Better But I Don’t Feel Good, the latter resulting in Music Victoria’s award for Best Pop Act and thereby heralding Skye as one of Australia’s premier music-makers.
Like her ancestors before her, Skye’s art acts as a powerful vehicle of storytelling through song. Her clever knack for honest lyricism, coupled with a shimmering stage presence, become more than just tools in creating a unique live performance or recorded experience. Time and time again, it provides a pathway for the listener into a deeper connection with oneself, engaging in their own introspection toward a plane of self-discovery.
Zak Gully is a multi-talented indie-folk-pop singer-songwriter who is proficient in guitar and the didgeridoo. Hailing from the Dandenong Ranges, Gully's deep connection and love for Australian nature and animals, coupled with his passion for travel, serve as profound inspirations for his music. His uplifting lyrics and melodies are sure to bring everyone great fun.
