Fusing traditional Slovenian folk tunes with Tasmanian influences, this trio of world-class musicians were the first act on the VMF main stage last year. In another first for the festival, they’ll be launching a brand new album at VMF 2021.

Abandon your stereotypes, Emily relishes the opportunity to depart from the type of music audiences expect to hear from a harp. She specialises in creating contemporary arrangements, original compositions, improvisations and experimentation with percussion, electronic effects and looping.

Using a broad range of kid-centric repertoire and a dose of fun, ‘Skit Scat’ will demystify jazz and infect children with swing. Pulling together top-class jazz musicians and educators from the north of Tasmania ‘Skit Scat Raggedy Cat,’ is born of a passion for passing on the traditions of jazz to the next generation.

Brothers Dan & Kyle Lizotte create honest and rootsy music, with folk, country and blues shades. Prepare yourself for more than a little foot stomping, banjo plucking and bottle neck sliding.

It will do our hearts good to hear songs of yearning and of freedom from this dynamic Hobart-based choir. Established in 1994, Sinsongke have performed around the world and in amazing events in Tasmania. A verandah will fairly ring with their soulful sounds.

Comprised mostly of members of The Blackouts, Bandykoots take their music in more of a rollicky, folky direction - a perfect fit for the VMF.
