There will be hay bales to sit on, fire pits to keep you warm, and food and drinks to enjoy while you listen to Jed Appleton (Hobart) perform a selection of originals and covers.

Music:

Live performance by Jed Appleton from Hobart. Jed left school at the ripe age of 16 to begin touring across the world, releasing 9 albums from a collection of 200+ songs and has shared the stage with the likes of Passenger, Matt Corby, The Cat Empire, Julien Baker & Stu Larsen. Tasmania’s Voice of the Year (2017) fascinates crowds with his unique blend of dynamic rhythmic stylings on his acoustic guitar alongside smooth but powerful textures from his raw vocals accompanied by a strong lyrical sense far beyond his years.
