24.01.2022 Tex Perkins has played a key role in Australian music and he's coming to the Araluen Arts Centre this January. Tex Perkins has had a career that ranges from Thug's experimental punktonica, to lilting, dark country of Dark Horses, to the snarling pub rock of Beasts of Bourbon, to the evocative soundscapes of The Cruel Sea. Now Tex has teamed up for an exciting new and long overdue collaboration with Matt Walker for a night of blues swamp-groove and a few Cruel Sea covers....

15.01.2022 Marina Strocchi is renowned for working from surrounding natural environments, her home and still life.
