Dave Graney & Clare Moore
Dave Graney and Clare Moore released two albums in 2024. The first was (strangely)(emotional), an exotic, lyrical album that involved interior journeys of memory of family and time and place . Journeying through inner and outer worlds with jazz voicings, vibes, keys, guitars and harp. A very much Covid influenced work, including the affectionate blues Poor Covid.
The second was the hot and sprawling I Passed Through Minor Chord In A Morning which was an auto harped, cut and pasted, improvised, deep fried, distorted hip hop beaten affair that came with a t-shirt.
Dave Graney and Clare Moore promise more releases and shows in 2025. When they play, they bring a vast songbook and bring it to life with vibes, keys, guitars, voices and rhythm machines. Don’t miss out. It's never like anybody else.
For this one off show in Adelaide at the Wheaty Dave and Clare will be joined by their favourite Adelaide bass player, Q.
So it will be a guitar, bass and drums set as well as Clare Moore playing a few songs on the keys.

Aaron Thomas & Band + Katie Pomery
Aaron Thomas is a Tasmanian born, Sydney bred songwriter who spent nearly 10 years in Madrid, Spain where he released 3 albums (Follow the Elephants, Made of Wood and The Blues and Greens) as well as an EP (Splinter EP) and film soundtrack (Viaje a Surtsey) before relocating to Adelaide, South Australia in 2016.
His second album, Made of Wood, was recorded in Iceland and produced by Valgeir Sigurddson (Bjork, Bonnie Prince Billy, Sam Amidon, Coco Rosie, Feist..). Aaron has performed at international music festivals such as SXSW (Austin), CMJ (New York), Popkomm (Berlin) and London’s Concrete and Glass as well as appearing at WOMAdelaide in 2017. He and the band recorded the EP (Always a Full Moon) at Mixmasters studio in South Australia in 2017 and Aaron has recently released his first full length studio album in more than 10 years, entitled 'Human Patterns'. Released in May of 2024, Human Patterns has finally found its way into the light, despite enormous life changes, a growing family and boring Admin jobs.
For the last eleven years since leaving Spain, Aaron has managed to return three times, playing to sell out shows all across the country and reconnecting with fans. Human Patterns is the first album where Aaron has taken on the roles of songwriter, arranger, producer and is full of detail, passion and care, acting as a sort of document of Aaron’s personal and musical growth over the years.
Human Patterns is rich with horns, strings, melody, percussion and voices that wrap themselves around personal stories of love, loss, optimism and despair. Musical influences include Feist, Bedouine, Bonnie Prince Billy, Camille, Roy Orbison, Andy Shauf, Father John Misty, Elvis Perkins, Big Thief, Angel Olson and Andrew Bird. Aaron is currently working on songs for his next project which is tentatively scheduled to be a collaboration with New York Singer Songwriter/Producer/Arranger, Sam Cohen (Kevin Morby, Elvis Perkins, Norah Jones, The National, Danger Mouse).
Katie Pomery is a musician based on Kaurna Yerta, spending her time in the soft-folk realm. Katie’s songwriting speaks to the human experience – and all the feelings that come with it. Taking inspiration from writers like Adrianne Lenker and Laura Marling, as well as experiences of love and loss, prove that all things Katie mean big, brave, and open-hearted.

The East Pointers (CAN)
Adding to their volumes of East Coast myth-making, The East Pointers’ forthcoming anthology of celebratory anthems and incendiary tune sets is a natural evolution of playing to ‘hometown’ crowds of thousands the world over, full family kitchen parties and an honest reckoning with heartbreak and victory. Still channeling Koady Chaisson as a writing partner, Tim Chaisson (fiddle, vocals, guitar) and Jake Charron (keys, guitar, vocals) have alchemised the years of love, grief and musical map-making, traveling, partying and friendship into an album that captures heroic joy, sharp pain, courageous expansion, lonely challenges and triumphant homecoming. Confidently grounded in the band’s traditional roots and spotlighting their most honest songwriting to date in an album that is jubilant, entrancing and frank by turns, The East Pointers continue their legacy of packing the dancefloor while celebrating the Sisyphian task of being human.

Songs from Under the Floorboards
A tribute to UK band, Magazine, one of the first "post-punk" bands, forming in Manchester in 1977.
Magazine kept the edgy, nervous energy of punk and added elements of art rock, particularly with their theatrical live shows and quirky chord arrangements. They only released 4 studio albums, but each one made the top 40 album charts in the UK.
This tribute will play the songs of Magazine as faithfully to the original recordings as possible and hope to bring the same energy as this seminal band. Brought to Adelaide Fringe by the same people who brought "Wide Open Road", a tribute to The Triffids, in 2021, and "Streets of your Town", a tribute to the Go Betweens in 2022.
A collection of experienced Adelaide musicians will focus their talents to honour this under rated band, Magazine.

Katankin (VIC) Album Launch + Glen Skuthorpe
Award-nominated Melbourne singer-songwriter Katankin plays her first-ever Wheaty show, to celebrate the recent release of her spectacular self-produced debut album "Said the starling", which garnered a glowing 4-star review from Rhythms Magazine, and landed her lead single "The fall" in the AMRAP Metro charts for 4 weeks.
"When you have a voice that shimmers as much as hers does, the attention it has brought her is inevitable" - Michael Park (The International Americana Music Show)
With a clear, soaring voice that caresses and shatters by turns, Katankin reels in listeners with her signature poeticism and razor-sharp lyrics, all accompanied by her delicate fingerstyle guitar-playing. "Said the starling" is the follow-up to her stunning 2022 debut EP "The quiet shimmer of the world", which was nominated for Best Folk Work by Music Victoria, and was similarly self-produced by the artist.
“Katankin writes and sings with spirit, soul, intensity and passion. If these things are important to you then her music will resonate deeply” - Stuart Coupe
