Loki - Comedian
The Northern River's favourite comedian and 'hostess with the mostest'. Who else could take the audience on a self deprecating hilarious Hare Krishna holiday? Brutally honest, Loki takes the therapy of comedy to new heights.
Captain Dreamboat - Solo singer/guitarist
Dreamboat' is the love-inspired works courageously performed by West End based artist Ofa Fanaika. Fanaika's distinct and irresistible vocal style evokes a spectrum of influences from older singers like Nina Simone and Roberta Flack. Her husky yet clear tenor and skilful use of tremolo lend themselves well to sultry ballads.
Tommy T-Jet - Drag and Magic
With a strew of amazing theatrical notches on his belt, Tommy's versatility as a performer is evident every time he walks on stage. Cuttingly witty, ridiculously quick and bitingly satirical, Tommy's alter ego, Glorine, never fails to leave audiences a gasp with laughter and surprise.
Jo Burdette - Singer/songwriter
Jo has spent 25 yrs on Queensland's Gold Coast as a professional singer in many bands, duo's, trio's, and shows. Most recently she was the lead vocalist for 6 years in the hugely acclaimed 7 piece band, "Liquid Gold" playing classic soul covers, rock, blues, funk, reggae and indie pop. She continues to bring soul with a touch of rock to every performance. Jo is a true treasure of the Australian music industry.
Sean Ikin - Singer/songwriter
With years of music industry, performance and vocal experience, Sean is now one of Australia's finest singers. His is the timeless, ageless and boundless voice of someone who truly loves what it is they do, which can be felt by all that hear and see him perform.

Ivy Lucille
Ivy Lucille will have you enthralled as she injects you with her kooky, carnivalistic, cabaret with style and elegance. Watching Ivy perform you could be forgiven for thinking you are at an early 1900's style cabaret show somewhere in Paris or Berlin. From the soft angelic tones to the haunting, dark, depths of pain, she explores the duality of the female psyche in a seriously comedic way.
Adrenaline Australia
Adrenalin collaborates a group of professional, stunning and versatile young women who have showcased their spectacular performances throughout Australia and overseas.
