SIMO KING is a busker from Alice Springs. Rain or shine, hot or cold, fire or fog, Simo King will busk. There is a crossroad at the eastern end of Rundell street, in the Adelaide CBD. It was the winter of 2015,
and this is where Simo King first lay down his guitar case, and played a blend of original songs, and a
few Robert Johnson covers.
Simo King relocated to Alice Springs that spring, and continued to write and perform. Too stubborn to quit, he still busks day to day, until the guitar in his hands turns to ash.

Originally from Melbourne, MADDY SIMIONI has revelled in the lively Alice Springs music scene, performing regularly at the Jump Inn Jams and collaborating with local musicians. Drawing from pop, punk, rock and soul in her acoustic music, tonight Maddy will bring you an array of emotionally loaded originals inspired by both personal experiences and reflections on the social/political world.

FLITTERS is the newest project from Alice based songwriter Jum (aka The Jum Show aka Jumanji aka Jumtastic!) based around a loose ethos of exploring genres, much in the way a bird flits around a garden. Despite the varied instrumentation and sounds, the songs remain anchored by the constant of his wry vocals. Based on observations of his years living overseas, floating around Australia for COVID, and finally settling in Mparntwe. Check him out in a stripped back solo guise with the possibility of a special guest or two to lend a hand along the way.
