Live @ Collis

Riding the wave of their recent triumphs, Pacific Avenue has emerged as a shining example of rock's resurgence in Australia's contemporary music scene. Their debut album 'Flowers' has achieved critical and commercial success, securing a top-three spot on the ARIA charts, behind notable artists such as Ed Sheeran and Morgan Wallen. With two ARIA nominations and multiple hit singles featured in Triple J's Hottest 100, the band has resonated with fans across various genres and generations.

Pacific Avenue's sound, a seamless fusion of classic rock's timeless vigor and modern rock's innovative spirit, has led them to tour internationally with acts like DMA's and Jamie Webster. They also supported Louis Tomlinson on his Australian national tour, demonstrating their global appeal. The band's sold-out national headline tour stands as a testament to their electrifying live performances and rapidly expanding fan base.

For Jordan Dunn-Pilz and Dan Alvarez, Toledo isn't just their band, it's a way to blend their minds together and become one. "Individually, we're a mess," says Alvarez. "But as a pair, our strongest qualities reveal themselves." Lifelong friends, Alvarez is the wildcard and Dunn-Pilz, the sensible one. On their new EP Jockeys of Love the duo have mind-melded yet again to create a soundtrack for those long drives when the entire world seems to be in harmony with you, and your thoughts seem monumental because of it. 

Now New York City-based, Alvarez and Dunn-Pilz were destined to find one another in their tiny coastal town of Newburyport, Massachusetts, where they met some fifteen years ago at age 10 while busking for bemused passers-by. They grew up together, developed their own tastes, formed their own bands, and eventually separated for the first time during their college years. They kept in touch throughout, however, continuing to write songs together by trading voice clips back and forth across hundreds of miles. After graduation, Alvarez and Dunn-Pilz agreed to 'just get back to doing what we were doing before.'

Unapologetically energetic, uplifting and with a live show that has been described as a “celebration of life”, Bermuda Search Party (FKA The Q-Tip Bandits) have emerged as a vibrant act that continues to touch audience’s hearts while getting them up on their feet.

After meeting in college and cutting their teeth in the Boston DIY music scene, the band recorded and released their self-produced debut LP, Melancholy Flowers, in 2022. Dynamic yet intimate, Melancholy Flowers features the vocal stylings and songwriting of both guitarist Leo Son and bassist Claire Davis, and smooth and soaring trumpet and trombone from Maclin Tucker and Hoyt Parquet. The band toured in support of the record throughout the year, culminating in four Boston Music Awards nominations, for Live and Pop Act of the Year, Song of the Year for “Daisy,” and Album of the Year.

In the most urgent and direct sense of the term, Chance Emerson is a true singer-songwriter mining his unique experiences of having grown up in both Hong Kong and Maine to weave universal truth and emotion into his compelling brand of melodic, modern folk-rock. Chance's  first EP, "The Indigo Tapes," climbed to #1 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart. He subsequently issued his self-produced "The Raspberry Men" album which received airplay from NPR-affiliate station WICN as well as rave reviews from respected publications such as American Songwriter and Atwood Magazine. Earmilk named "The Raspberry Men" one of its best indie/alternative albums of 2020. Chance's 2nd album, "Gingko," has also drawn acclaim.  "House We Share" has already surpassed 1,500,000 streams and been featured on Spotify's prominent 'Dinner With Friends' and 'Next Gen Singer-Songwriter' playlists. Chance's next steps are nothing short of extremely promising. After receiving the prestigious John Lennon Songwriter's Award from BMI, Chance recently performed a much talked-about solo set at the renowned Newport Folk Festival.
