Take equal parts of The Band, Crowded House, Gomez, The Beatles, Ryan Adams, Jeff Buckley, John Mayer, Paul Simon....a splash of Black America, a sprig of the Caribbean, and chase it with Rocwater's own Genuine 100% Australian Brew.
THE 5 LANDS BAND
The 5 Lands Experience is an eclectic musical extravaganza featuring the cream of the central coasts funk, jazz and world musicians.
The sound is organic, improvised, ambient, funky and fresh with the changing spontaneous line up of fantastic musicians coordinated by Rendra Freestone from The Rhythm Hunters.
Music has strong World, Indonesian & African influences, as well as old time funk, jazz and hip-hop.
Musicians are encouraged to make contact and become involved in the All star Jam which is the finale to each evening. This is when the dance floor gets moving and the room heats up.
Each week there is a new-featured artist in the middle set. Artist cd’s are available and only the artists music is played on the night.
