A.P D’Antonio

A.P D’Antonio, South Australia’s finalist on the voice 2018 works within the boundaries of the old folk masters to deliver an authentic take on 1920’s-1940’s country, folk and blues.

Packing along a banjo and guitar, A.P sings songs of rambling, brawling, gambling, up’s and down’s, love had and lost and some traditional favourites. His freewheeling, raw style has won over crowds across the country and he has become a favourite at festivals and venues alike.

Michaela Jenke

Barossa Valley singer/songwriter Michaela Jenke isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of music categorisation. Her style entwines country rock, alternative country and Americana, which has stemmed from influences by the likes of Hank Williams, Gillian Welch and Oasis.

At the 2018 Tamworth Country Music Festival, Michaela was named the winner of the Coca-Cola Battle of The New Stars competition, which included a spot to play at the closing concert of the 2018 Tamworth Country Music Festival.

June 2017 saw Michaela release her highly anticipated debut EP, Diamonds Outta Dirt, which was recorded and produced by Bill Chambers at his studio on the NSW Central Coast. The five songs on the release are written by Michaela, one of those being a co-write with one of Australian country music’s most acclaimed songwriters, Allan Caswell.

As well as being a graduate of the 2017 CMAA Senior Academy of Country Music, Michaela has since performed with and supported some of Australia’s biggest names in country music including Amber Lawrence, Bill Chambers, Aleyce Simmonds and Brad Butcher.

Always performing alongside her is Adelaide’s premier country guitarist Reid Sampson, whose blistering handiwork is the perfect accompaniment to Michaela’s dulcet tones.

Michaela is currently writing for her debut album to be released in 2020!

What’s up next at SCALA?

Winter. That’s what.

We can cry and complain about it or we can get cosy, get comfortable and get to the Wheaty on Thursday May 30th where a trifecta of talent take to the dais and treat all of us to some great winter grooves over a glass of smooth red. Or two. Check-out the line-up below and never take a dim view of Winter again.

SCALA Live @ The Wheaty

Thursday 30th May 2019

1. Sophie Head

Singer-songwriter Sophie Head breathes rich, summery vocals into mellow tunes of life and love. Inspired by folk, jazz and pop rock, she shares honest reflections on what it means to be human. Sophie returns to Adelaide after 6 years in Sydney, where she recorded and released her debut single, ‘Yours’. Her recent songwriting journey has opened her to exciting new expressions in her artistry, with new music and a debut EP set for release in 2019.

2. Sarah Straschko

From dusty red Port-Augusta to the Barossa Valley Sarah Straschko has been performing soulful tunes likened to Joni Mitchel, Joan Baez, jewel, Kate Miller Heidke and Laura Marling.

This 21-year old has been performing in bands and as a solo act from scrub to cities across the Australian coast capturing sweeping melodies and sweet yet powerful vocals all wrapped up in striking lyrics that are guaranteed to sooth any punter’s soul.

Having toured the East coast and Further as a part of an Album launch for the Americana artist Tristen Bird, Sarah is on the verge of releasing her own debut EP which looks to encompass Sarah’s rich tones, stunning delivery and enlightened perspectives. Keep an eye on this young songstress, she’s got some stories to tell that you might like to hear.
