This week Meiwa, Tanya George + Mỹ Anh are stopping by for a show. 

Meiwa is a Canadian Folk/R&B singer-songwriter based on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country (Melbourne), known for her thoughtful lyrics, genre-blending sound and a voice that radiates compassion and clarity. Her music weaves rich storytelling with emotional depth, earning international attention since her acclaimed debut Let Go & Grow. Following the success of her single Wonder and 2020’s global livestream release of Waiting, Meiwa has continued to evolve her sound with the EP Eire (2024) and upcoming album Surface Tension (out 27 June 2025). Her work reflects a deep commitment to heartfelt expression and a unique place in contemporary Folk and R&B.

After placing 4th at the Gwangju Busking World Cup in South Korea, Tanya George has carried her momentum into 2025, performing at major festivals including St Kilda Festival, Esoteric, Sunshine Lunar New Year, and Mordialloc Festival. She recently featured on Jolyon Petch’s track 'Linger', charting at #3 on the ARIA Club Charts and currently receiving commercial radio play. Known for her dynamic vocal looping and four-octave range, Tanya also fronts and writes for her band releasing her new single Serious on April 30th—the first glimpse of her long-awaited debut album Contrast. In July, Tanya takes off to Italy and hits the main stage at the Roma Busking Festival. As one of Australia’s most exciting and versatile performers, Tanya continues to redefine boundaries. Contrast promises to be a bold, game-changing album that captures the full scope of her artistry.

Mỹ Anh is a Vietnamese singer-songwriter and producer celebrated for her innovative artistry and cultural impact. She made history as the first Gen Z artist from Vietnam to appear on New York’s Times Square screen in Spotify's EQUAL campaign, honoring outstanding global female artists. In 2020, Mỹ Anh made her official debut with the self-composed single “Got You,” establishing her signature blend of R&B and soul. January 2024 marked a major milestone with the release of her debut album Em—a collection of nine R&B/Soul tracks co-written by Mỹ Anh that explore themes of love, ambition, and self-discovery. With plans for further international collaborations, an upcoming English EP, and additional releases in Vietnamese throughout 2025, Mỹ Anh is dedicated to bridging her rich cultural heritage with global audiences. Her innovative artistry, bilingual approach, and steadfast commitment to authentic expression position her as a rising force in both the Vietnamese and international music scenes.
