SongMakers
The Victorian SongMakers program has been made possible with the support of the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria and the Community Support Fund.
What
we do
From the many young songwriters who’ve taken part in SongMakers over the past two years, a standout group of emerging artists will showcase their original music live.
Split across two weekends, 16 bands will first join SongMakers mentors in professional rehearsal rooms for a full day to practise their skills. From stage craft, setting up gear, sound checking and building confidence on stage, everyone will leave with the tools to build an unforgettable live show.
Each band will then take to the stage to perform their SongMakers track and a new original, celebrating all the incredible talent SongMakers has seen over the years.
