From busking in the streets, playing backyard shows & supporting local musicians such as Kim Churchill, Jack Botts, The Dreggs, etc, to headlining sold-out shows all around Australia & playing at iconic festivals such as Queenscliff Music Festival, Changing Tides Festival, Ocean Sounds, NYE On The Hill, Frankston Waterfront Festival, etc (sharing the stage with Aussie legends like Xavier Rudd, Ziggy Alberts, Temper Trap, Boy & Bear, Dan Sultan, etc).
