ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Kevin Bennett & The Flood:
Kevin Bennett & The Flood are ready to hit theAustralian Hotel & Brewery off the back of their recent Golden Guitar win at the 2020 CMAA Awards for "Group or Duo of the Year!

Aria Blues and Roots nominee in 2006 (with The Flood for Best Group), writes relevant, contemporary Australian music containing elements of Blues, Rock, Folk and Country - telling stories of where he’s from and where he might be going, his past, present and future….he sings his life.
The Flood has recorded 5 universally acclaimed albums including ‘The Ballad Of KB’, which was named in Iain Shedden’s Top Twenty Australian Country Albums of all time. The band has performed at the Byron Bay Bluesfest, The Dreaming Festival, Gympie Muster, Narooma Blues Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival and are regulars at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

Teisco West – The Goonga Project:
Glen Hannah aka 'Goonga'
Friendship.
Music.
Mental health.
Suicide.
Friendship.
Music.
And so it went with Glen Hannah and the band he left, for good. Teisco West.
In May 2019, mental illness tore a massive hole in the lives of Tia and Ellie Hannah, and Felicity Urquhart.
For every one of Glen Hannah’s many friends in the music industry Glen’s importance was understood through his profound talent, creativity and friendship.
The whole idea for Teisco West, the concept, the drive for this music came from Glen Hannah. Goonga. He told fellow producer, songwriter, guitarist and friend, Jeremy Edwards,he needed to rock. He was sick of being careful. The ultimate sideman needed to shout out loud, on his own terms. Compadres Matt Fell and Steve Fearnley were honoured to be asked to be their partners in rock n roll misdemeanours and guitar crimes. Goonga was the only guy they all just said yes to. No second thoughts. The writing came easy and fast. The vibe was instant, the excitement palpable. Then Glen was gone…...a rocket, a flash, a heartbreak unimaginable. The band was left with a near-finished album with nowhere near enough of his sublime playing and singing on it. They didn't think they could but they dusted off. For him. For his girls. For themselves. The band finished his idea with love and help from his friends, who all gave their hearts and time to their first album.
Guests and contributors - Felicity Urquhart, Lyn Bowtell, Shane Nicholson, James Haselwood, Kevin Bennett, Sam Hawksley and Ted Howard.
