ROSIE AND THE QUEST

Rosie and The Quest is a six-piece soul project from the Central Coast, NSW. 

They draw inspiration from the strong future soul movement that has been developing in Australia for a number of years. 

Members include Rose Callaghan (vocals), Joseph Smith (keys), Jackson Burke (bass), Jordan Gazzard (synth/guitar), Kyle McCallum (guitar) and Luke Fabila (drums).

Their recent single ‘Temptation’ received national airplay and got the attention of 2SER who added it to rotation.

This will be their first time performing at For Folk Sake, in what will be a magical evening to take us out for the year.

EAST DENISTONE

Hot off the back of his third EP that’s awash with lush textures, beautiful melodies and evocative lyricism, East Denistone’s sound can be described as atmospheric folk. 

Akin to Bon Iver or Ben Howard, the Inner West based artist will be sure to draw you in and twirl you around a range of emotions, with ‘I Don’t Know, I Still Care’, always aiming to promote the discussion of emotional expression and honest introspection. 

The project steps in front of a live audience after its pandemic hiatus with a stripped back arrangement, promising an intimate delivery of songs that dwell on existence, isolation and the construct of cultural norms...not to mention a plethora of two part harmonies.
