Headlining Acts

Keli Holiday

Keli Holiday is from the mind of a man living off of nothing but new order records, beer, sleepless nights and the sheer excitement and love of exploring an unknown city named New York. This project was created by Adam Hyde (one half of multi ARIA award winning, 10x platinum selling Australian eclectic electronic duo Peking Duk) who had come off the back of a 2 month North American tour with back to back dates. He was told he had time for a holiday when he got home but instead of flying to a beach somewhere he decided to use an old guitar he had sitting in his bedroom to create something special. 12 tracks in 4 weeks he sheepishly showed his best friend - Thomas Stell aka Golden features. Tom shared the project with Adams' long-time idol that he'd never met - KIM from the iconic duo The Presets. KIM and Adam tightened up the dusty recordings and made it shine. Two years later and the marriage of longing for that holiday he'll never get back mixed with the strumming of that dusty old guitar birthed a love child named Keli Holiday.

Supporting Artists

Edward Roussac

I am a musician from Melbourne, Victoria. I am based in St Albans. I play keyboards, guitar and bass guitar, and I also sing and write my own material. My primary instrument is keyboards. I play music because I like it.

The majority of my material is honest and unique, encompassing the need to communicate and connect with other human beings on an emotional level. My songs are catchy, they cover topics that most typical musicians wouldn’t cover and most of all they are unique and refreshing.

Irene Zhoung

Irene Zhong mythologises how we relate to each other and the ever-changing world. They inhabit a delicate, chamber folk sound world that draws on Hakka-Chinese melodies and western art music.

Irene took part in Arts Access Victoria’s Music Makers Mentorship program under the guidance of Parvyn. Irene was shortlisted for Music Victoria’s Amplify award (2021). Irene is the composer of the Shale Project, a fantasy worldbuilding initiative spearheaded by Sienna Tristen and Avi Silver. Right now, Irene is working with Nicholas Grey as dream-pop duo Between Mirrors. Their first EP, Blue Dreams, will be released in early 2022.

1 in 5 people in Australia are living with a disability. From a survey Tibi Access (creators of Groove Tunes) conducted in 2018, people living with a disability expressed their love of attending live music events, however fear and lack of access are commonly expressed as reasons that stop them from going. We hope Groove Tunes not only creates an opportunity to attend a live music event but encourages the broader music industry to make live music more inclusive for everyone.
