The third, and final, of the City of Ballarat’s free Summer Sundays series for 2018 kicks off this weekend.

A new line-up of Australian artists will feature on Sunday, including:

Jazz Party – Melbourne Well-dressed jazz punks with a passion for classic and neo soul, Jazz Party play R&B-inspired tunes with a contemporary bent. With Darcy McNulty’s wailing saxophone leading the horns section, the silver-tongued backing vocals by the jazzboys form the perfect backdrop to the almighty roar of lead lady and soul diva Loretta Miller. This is Jazz Party.

Magnets – Melbourne Magnets is the project of Melbourne based Siobhan McGinnity. After years on the Melbourne music scene hiding behind her keys and backing-vocals, Magnets is finally stepping out on her own. Trained as a classical pianist from the age of six, Magnets started experimenting with guitar recently for a new challenge, which led to a shift in direction of music stylings.

Sahara Beck – Brisbane Sahara Beck unveils her stunning new single Here We Go Again. New song, who dis? It’s Sahara Beck but not as you’ve heard her before. Sure it’s her voice – still as seductive and elastic as ever – but this time, she’s stepping out in an electrifying new direction.

Candi Wade – Ballarat Candi Wade is available for interviews on 0428 797 790 Ballarat local Candi Wade started singing and performing in front of crowds at the age of five.
