Emma Donovan & The Putbacks 

 

“Emma’s voice is everything you’d want in a soul singer. She’s the real deal.” – Wax Poetics

“A tour de force of funk and soul hailing from the land down under” – Pop Matters

Acclaimed Indigenous vocalist Emma Donovan and Melbourne rhythm combo The Putbacks burst on to the Australian scene with their album ‘Dawn’ in 2015, announcing a new voice in Australian soul music. Emma’s song writing is optimistic, impassioned, and bruisingly honest. The Putbacks’ music is fluid, live and raw, and the collaboration has won friends and admirers all over the world. Together they are a live act not to be missed.

 

The Meltdown

 

Making the song the focus, The Meltdown stay true to the story and keep your attention on the soaring voice of Simon Burke. With his soulful indefinable voice  and the bands rhythm section creating a hypnotic spacious groove, The Meltdown’s move your heart and your feet with a blend of Stax and Motown that echoes Memphis soul.

Their debut self-titled record was released in 2017 to great critical acclaim, followed by a run of sold out shows and festival appearances.  The Meltdown continue the tradition of world class soul bands to emerge from Melbourne, and they’ll wrap you in their warm embrace.
