Jenna Campbell

Jenna Campbell

Jenna Campbell is an acoustic fusion guitarist and live-looping artist from Melbourne's Dandenong Ranges who creates an engaging and unique full-band sound.

An exciting emerging artist with attention-grabbing guitar skills, her music will transport you to other times and places as she fuses world music elements with progressive rock and jazz-funk. Jenna tells stories without words through layered instrumental music that builds with a depth of emotion and a sense of adventure!

Tony J King

Tony J King

Tony J King crafts a raw and authentic musical experience deeply rooted in the street-corner blues and urban folk traditions of yesteryear - a slow-burning mix of quirky, gin-soaked musical tales honed from a pre-occupation with mythology, half-truths and the random twists of fate.

With influences ranging from Tom Waits, James Elroy, Bob Dylan, Edgar Allen Poe, Kerouak and Joseph Conrad, King's musical style defies easy categorisation as he effortlessly navigates between contemporary alt-roots sounds and the gritty, infectious urban blues of the fifties.

Burrinja's Summer Salon Exhibition

This year’s Art Fair coincides with the launch of Burrinja’s Summer Salon exhibition in the Lyre Gallery, showcasing an exciting collection of works by Burrinja’s own studio artists. Every artwork will be available for purchase, and the best part is that nothing is priced over $500, making it the perfect opportunity to start or grow your collection or give a unique gift to someone special.
