Acoustic

AWCP are a five-piece indie, acoustic based band from Melbourne, pitched somewhere where the desert meets the sea. Forming in 2012 as a duo, life-long friends Jimmy (Phoenix) Pollock and Anthony Nero set out to record songs and music videos using their iPhones in an attempt to capture more “honest” sounds away from studio trickery. In 2014, the pair began playing live and unplugged in more and more unconventional settings - lounge rooms, backyards, record stores, warehouse parties, giant bean bag factories and in a two-man inflatable boat sailing down a water catchment drain in the middle of nowhere suburbia. In the summer of 2015, Nero and Phoenix took their sound to a string of pubs and bars in St Kilda where they would play to their wives, Jimmy’s mum and various house sound guys. Great times had by all! AWCP set upon the mysterious Heatherton Trail to find some extra magic to widen their sound. This came in the shape of long-time compadres Anthony ‘Quesadilla’ Casey on bass.

Hey I'm Shenay, an 18 y/o singer-songwriter from Melbourne Australia. My music background stems from my mum putting me into piano and guitar lessons around the age of 4 which led to a bunch of practical and theoretical exams, eventually singing was added to the mix. From there onwards, all my instrumental skills fused together to help cue my creativity for composing and writing.

Compelling, intimate and reflective, Melbourne storyteller Nikki Wishart expresses music of the heart - from the hope and the epic highs of connection to the pain and utter confusion of unlabelled and undefined love.

Infused with thoughtful lyricism and an innate, authentic energy, Nikki is dynamic in her approach; infusing raw indie and acoustic elements to paint soaring and honest portraits of passion and heartbreak.

Taking inspiration from fellow singer-songwriters including Holly Humberstone and Chelsea Cutler, Nikki’s musical style has an endearing sincerity that is only conjured by those who are committed to expressing universal emotions and creating connection with each and every one of her listeners.

A natural sonic poet, Nikki Wishart is one to experience in 2023 and beyond.
