Olivia James
Olivia James was born in the spiritual heart of Australian country music, and had to emerge on the other side of music school to understand who she wasn't. Bittersweet and bruising storytelling is pushed front and center into the limelight, and you'd swear her lyrics took the words straight out of your mouth. Her music embodies that rare, sparkling combination of pop sensibilities mixed with country-tinged influences.

Judy Small at The Barn In Concert
“Judy Small is playing at Samford?!” It’s the kind of news that pricks your ears up. She may be one of the legendary names of Australian protest folk, but gigs for Judy Small have been extremely rare in the decade and a half since she was appointed a federal court judge. During the show she jokes about the fact that she hasn’t written a song in 20 years and how she has no CDs to plug because they are all long gone. But for people like me – keen students of protest music history but too young to have seen Judy when her gigs were more regular – this show is a must-see.
