Kick those Monday blues to the curb at Social Sanctuary – your weekly night of free live music at NSC. We've lined up a stellar roster of your fave local artists and some exciting new talents breezing through town!
This week Banjo Lucia, Charlie McCosh and Sofia Machray are stopping by for a show.
Vulnerability, honesty and connection form the tapestry of Fremantle based singer-songwriter Banjo Lucia. Emerging at the tail end of 2021, her powerful debut single That’s Not Loving garnered acclaim from outlets such as Rolling Stone, Vice & Triple J for its poise, vulnerability and depth, sparking the unknown artist into the Australian spotlight. Following shortly after was the independent release of her debut EP Peccadilloes - a stripped back collection of songs that detail various intimate facets of her own experience with grief, love and growth. Armed with an arresting live performance, confidence, wit and unbridled charm, she established herself as a rapidly emerging artist selling out headline shows, performing at various festivals, and touring Australia, the UK & Europe with heavyweights such as Stella Donnelly, Sharon Van Etten, Asgeir & more. She is currently finishing her sophomore EP due for release in 2025 - a record that further highlights her versatility, artistic growth, multi-genre sensibilities and potential to burgeon into one of Australia’s most vibrant, exciting up and coming artists.
Charlie McCosh has been right under Melbourne’s nose for years, and she is now creeping her way into folk scene. Watching Charlie McCosh perform live is always special. Whether it's just her and her nylon string, or with her beloved sparkly band, Charlie brings a unique listening experience with her storytelling every time. Her folk melodies hold your hand through her heartfelt lyrics, penned directly from her diary. She delicately weaves electronic and tangible textures with her organic guitar driven arrangements. With her ever evolving sound, Charlie invites listeners to explore vulnerability and find comfort in the journey of holding and growing.
Bursting with sweetness and soul, Pо̄neke-based indie dream-rock songstress Sofia Machray is an electric master of the singer-songwriter gone rouge. Described by international pop-culture magazine Atwood as ‘New Zealand’s brightest new singer-songwriter' her catalog stretches out over moody rockers and soft burning hooks holding vast soundscapes backed by her powerful 5-piece support band. Machray was quick to win the hearts of music lovers close to home and abroad after the release of her debut record ‘Language Of Flowers.’ The record received tremendous support from both international and local media which has led her to tour nationally on multiple occasions and to share stages with world-renowned indie icons such as Chet Faker, Palace, Lime Cordiale, COTERIE, and Soaked Oats, making her a strong forerunner in New Zealand’s independent scene.
