SCREAM AZOV
‘Herding cats’ describes the inner workings of this band of local troubadours. With gusto and pandemonium these provincial musos write and play their own music for your listening pleasure. If you’re looking for the genuine sound of Yeppoon with a hint of vodka and a large serving of borscht, Scream Azov is for you.

WILMA LA
An artist in every sense, WĪLMA LĀ brings flavours of Europe and Middle East into her rich piano and brass based, soulful vocal filled soundscapes, and counters it with stripped back acoustic pieces. Learning from the jazz giants from an early age, she rides across genres with great freedom and joy. Music inspired by love for the ocean, minimalism, spiritual search, and infused with her visual arts background is a journey to be embarked on with all the senses and an open mind.
“Exploring music for me is something beyond curiosity. I dive into it, love it and live it. Each and every song is a piece of my life, a picture of the past, the present or the future, and the shades through which I see my world.” - WĪLMA LĀ |
