Saturday 2 April, Everglades Woy Woy
Gordie Tentrees, from the Yukon, Canada
and
Jane Germain – Central Coast
International touring, award nominated Canadian Gordie Tentrees has arrived. This authentic road poet has traveled North America, Europe, UK & Ireland, and is coming to Woy Woy, sure to be a highlight of his upcoming tour of Australia and NZ. With 8 records behind him he never repeats himself on stage.
From Celtic Connections (Glasgow, Scotland) to the National Folk Festival (Canberra, AU) his ability to hold an audience, weave melody, while juggling the dark truth with comedic light is infectious. Performed 750 concerts in 11 countries during the past 4 years alone with foot percussion, harmonica, resonator/acoustic guitar and masterful storytelling. Influenced by touring with friends Fred Eaglesmith, Mary Gauthier, Steve Poltz & Kelly Joe Phelps, Gordie Tentrees performance is going to be memorable.

Jane Germain – Folk, Country and Banjo
Jane Germain’s musical journey has taken her from her hometown, Sydney, to Western Australia, Tasmania and all the way back to her Chinese heritage (her Manchurian great-grandmother married a Scottish missionary).
Jane has recorded 6 albums, as well as being in high demand as a session player on other projects. Jane plays guitar and clawhammer banjo – and swaps between instruments for different songs.
She’s played all the styles from folk to blues and bluegrass that express her emotions and musicality. In the process she has won five WA Country Music Awards, and has Country Arts funded headline tours of regional WA, a residency in Beijing awarded by the Australia–China Council (where she collaborated with Beijing based traditional Mongolian musicians, Hanggai on her album, Chinese Whispers).
