We’re going back to where it all began…⏳

Enter Stage Right is officially launching our Rehearsal & Showcase Program, supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund, Cairns Regional Council, Flame Arts and the Queensland Government.

This has been a long time in the making and we're stoked to finally announce it.

Rehearsals will be held on Monday nights at Elixir Music House, with showcases locked in for Oct 31 at Elixir and Nov 30 at Tanks Arts Centre. Both events will be free entry for the public.

The program includes a behind-the-scenes audio mentorship component, so full bands will be prioritised over solos and duos.

Funding is confirmed for two cycles only, creating opportunities for just six bands. If it’s a success, we hope to keep building it into a continuing program!

Bands and artists making original music can apply now:

Please share this with anyone who should know about it — let’s support our emerging creatives and keep levelling up the original music scene in Cairns 🎶

Hey legends..
Im back from Mushy.. Well rested and back in the zone, I have a bit of catching up to do, and have been sifting through thousands of quality new Aussie releases and have a pretty phat playlist ready to roll out on Tuesday for when I go live in the studio..

I'm sorry if I have missed anything spectacular over the last couple of weeks. I promise next week's show will be banging, with a diverse range of fresh new sounds and styles recently released from our homegrown Aussie favorites and upcoming emerging artists.

Stay awesome!
and support original Australian music..

Love Vennesa
