Eora/Sydney-based multi-disciplinary artist and fashion designer Annie Hamilton possesses a singular ability to capture the beating heart of an emotion and refract it through her own vivid musical prism, harnessing visceral, shimmering textures and wild, kinetic energy. 

  
  

Driven by an unquenchable desire for risk-taking, her constantly-shifting sound entered a new era in 2024, melting down the building blocks of indie-rock and alt-pop that provided the foundation of her self-titled EP (2020) and introspective debut record, the future is here but it feels kinda like the past (2022), and fusing them with unexpected electronic and ethereal elements to create a signature sound that exists beyond the boundaries of genre and expectation. With each new offering, Hamilton leads us deeper into her now instantly recognisable visual and sonic universe.

  
  

Annie Hamilton’s music has found strong support with triple j, CLASH, FADER, NPR, RUSSH, NME and more, including community radio nationally. She has recently played headline shows internationally across London, Paris, Berlin and beyond, including showcasing at New York’s Night School (2022) and SXSW Austin (2023), Reeperbahn Festival (2023) and completed tours with the likes of The National, Julia Jacklin, Luke Hemmings, Lime Cordiale, Jack River and Mallrat.

  
  

**Supported by** **Lisa Caruso** (4:30pm)

  
  

Known for her unique vocal and filmic releases, Lisa Caruso’s songs hold as much guts as they do passion and appease. After being named a finalist in the Australian Women in Music Awards, LC continued independent success in 2020 releasing debut album ‘ In Feelings’. Breeding a new line of anthemic releases, singles partnered with striking music videos each with their own include EP ‘ Stretching.’ Shedding old skin and pushing artistic boundaries, the 2023 collection explores sounds and talking points more vibrant and franker than before.

  
  

The series is presented by the [Harbour Trust](https://www.cockatooisland.gov.au/en/ "https://www.cockatooisland.gov.au/en/") with a line-up by [Music & Booze Co](https://themusicandboozeco.com.au/ "https://themusicandboozeco.com.au/").
