DANNY ALCORN
2024-10-06 03:30 - 18:30
I was raised on the surf coast around Margaret River WA, as soon as I discovered the guitar and playing music, I knew what I wanted to do with my life.
I was the top placing WA male singer in my season of Australian Idol, finishing in the Top 10 from thousands of contestants.
I’m an award-winning singer-songwriter, Triple J artist to watch, and one of Australia’s upcoming Folk artists. I’ve toured with Kim Churchill, Ash Grunwald and across the country on my own headline tours. I studied music at WAAPA and the Australian Institute of Music and I’ve been a gigging pro musician for nearly 10 years.
Outside of my career, I love the simple things in life. A sunny April day, healthy food and surfing in the pristine South West is where I find my peace. Since age 14, all I’ve wanted to do was pick the guitar up every day. Starting a brand in wedding entertainment has made this dream come true, now I chat with couples and arrange my own acoustic wedding music as a full-time job. My mission is to approach every gig with, gratitude, respect a constant drive to get better every time. Nothing feels better than seeing my couple’s dream wedding become a reality and working alongside my best mates.

CARAVÃNA SUN
2024-10-11 21:00 - 23:30
MARGARET RIVER – Caravãna Sun are back in the South West for one night only of dancing at Settlers Tavern FRI 11th OCT
Joined by local legends Dingo Sungod
Tickets will sell out fast here! 18 Plus event only
Since 2011, Sydneysiders CARAVÃNA SUN have built a renowned reputation across the globe for their dynamic and energetic live performances. Their infectious grooves which progressively merge their surfy coastal lifestyle with elements of explosive rock, euphoric electronica/dance and rambunctious reggae/ska have earned the band slots on some of the world’s most coveted stages. Highlights include Boardmasters (UK), Boomtown (UK), Reggae Sun Ska (France), Bluesfest Byron Bay, Summer in the City (Germany), Party in the Paddock (TAS), Woodford Folk Festival (QLD) and headlining Madnes (Netherlands) to name a few. They have also toured with iconic artists such as Madness, UB40, The Cat Empire and Fat Freddy’s Drop among many others. CARAVÃNA SUN also had success with their hypnotic track ‘Whale Song’, which was featured in the global award winning documentary, ‘Seaspiracy’. The film featured in the top 10 most watched on Netflix across numerous countries upon its release, generating significant traction on the issue of ocean conservation. This saw the band further secure their place on the world stage and brought with it a huge influx of new fans from far and wide.
In 2022, CARAVÃNA SUN performed to one of their biggest crowds on the main stage at Bluesfest Byron Bay, which saw over 10,000 in attendance. With lots of exciting new music in tow and fresh off another extensive European and national tour, the band is determined to deliver another fan favourite performance with their new live show at Bluesfest 2024!
CARAVÃNA SUN have not only cemented their place as a standout band across the world, but also shown no signs of slowing down, signing in 2020 with Berlin’s Embassy of Music and joining a heavyweight roster, including Björk, Moby, and fellow Aussie acts Ball Park Music. As a result of their extensive touring schedule pre-Covid, the release of the album ‘Live in Germany’ was only natural, extending their live show from colossal crowds to listeners around the globe. Since the settling of the pandemic, the band has returned to hardcore touring around Australia and beyond, and also released their self-produced third studio album, ‘Burning Palms’ in early 2022. In 2023, CARAVÃNA SUN rejoined forces with producer Joel Quartermain (Eskimo Joe, Budjerah, Gflip, Meg Mac) to pursue their next body of work, featuring their latest club-filling singles ‘Moments’ and ‘Hearts Awake’.
“The Sydneysiders’ third album is a sonic treat. With a solid backbone of rhythm and the loose tag of surf rock, their songs contort themselves in a variety of styles.”
Sydney Morning Herald
“Charlie’, the first single of the year for Caravãna Sun, sees the typically ebullient band get vulnerable, if still uplifting.”
Music Feeds
“It’s a brilliant track that really captures the group at a new peak, teasing their forthcoming material with some of the best work they’ve put out to date.”

Fancy sharing more space with Cog in 2024?

Following their acclaimed East Coast run earlier this year, the revered Australian rockers are proud to announce the continuation of The Vinyl Tour, with Cog set to close out 2024 taking their live show to regional Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia this October and November, as well as an appearance for Crowbar Sydney’s birthday week.
Cog will also be joined by some very special guests for The Vinyl Tour Continued, with Northern Rivers psychedelic surf rockers The Sea Benz set to support at all East Coast shows, experimental rockers Yomi Ship supporting in the West Coast, cathartic prog metal act Primrose Path joining Yomi Ship in Fremantle, and Gold Coast rock’n’roll renegades Hammers joining the festivities as main support for the Crowbar throw down.
Kicking off off proceedings on Friday 4 October in Frankston, The Vinyl Tour Continued will head to Torquay, Byron Bay, Bunbury, Margaret River and Fremantle, with Cog also set to jump up on the hallowed stage of Crowbar Sydney on Friday 29 November for the venue’s inaugural birthday week. Renowned as one of the country’s consummate live acts, the tour will also continue Cog‘s celebrations of the long-awaited release of their seminal albums The New Normal (2005) and Sharing Space (2008) on vinyl for the first time ever, as well as the first pressing of their compilation record Just Visiting (2008). Tickets for The Vinyl Tour Continued are currently on sale now and available here.
“After the success of the initial shows early in the year we are stoked to add seven more shows to The Vinyl Tour continued!” – Cog
Emerging in the late 90s, Cog‘s enduring legacy on the heavy music landscape has traversed decades, global touring, and a jubilant reunion back in 2016. Via their early EPs, 2000’s Pseudo and part one and part two of 2002’s Just Visiting, the behemoth reputation of the Sydney-hailing trio would firmly cement in 2005 in the form of their debut full-length The New Normal. From here, Cog took the world by storm, relentlessly touring Australia, embarking on overseas runs, igniting stages at Big Day Out, Falls Festival and Homebake, alongside adding a stellar second album release to their repertoire in the form of the certified Gold 2008 opus Sharing Space.
Never ones to rest on their laurels, Cog emerged from a five year hiatus in 2016, with an entirely sold out comeback tour across Australia that same year – and some new music soon followed in 2018 via the band’s first new material in a decade: The Middle. From here, Cog have continued to expand their creative spirit, releasing two additional singles, Altered States and Drawn Together, while also remaining active on the touring circuit, including headlining The Other Festival and Thrashville in 2023.
Reaching a milestone in 2023, Cog‘s long road to finally releasing their albums on vinyl spanned a 15 year uphill battle, with the group locked into a contract and awaiting resolution ever since delivering Sharing Space to their label in 2008. Now armed with complete ownership of the rights to all of their music, the pressing of Cog‘s sonic legacy onto vinyl also sparked a huge headline run earlier this year, with the trio’s East Coast round of The Vinyl Tour in March wowing crowds in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Newcastle, Canberra and Sydney, and the majority of shows sold out.
Exclusively through Rare Records, The New Normal and Sharing Space are available pressed on 3 x 180g vinyl, housed in deluxe triple gatefold sleeves, with a range of variants and vinyl combinations on offer. Shop Cog vinyl here.
Tickets for The Vinyl Tour Continued are on-sale now, do not miss this unforgettable run of shows from one of Australia’s finest this October and November.
