Cassells is the musical moniker of Jordan James Cassells—an introspective artist whose work has been described by those close to him as a journey through sincerity. Hailing from the wintry streets of Ballarat, VIC, Cassells crafts a sound rooted in the textures of alt-rock and indie-folk. His distinctive baritone voice and poetic lyricism invite listeners into a world of poignant reflection, where weighty moral themes are often softened by glimmers of dry humor and light-hearted charm.

Cassells invites you to step into this world live, as he takes the stage for his first little independent solo tour—celebrating the release of his newest single, ‘Sirens Don’t Sound the Same’ with dear friends Clover Blue and Felix Worner.

Clover Blue is a First Nations artist, playing slightly harrowing alt-folk, grounded in abstracted poetics and supported by a classical guitar fit for a child. Drawing upon the lineages of tender-hearted and soft handed troubadours, Clover Blue presents introspective, and intense folk-ish songs to spin life-based narratives through abstract lenses.

Felix Worner is an alt-country singer-songwriter from Tāmaki Makaurau, now living in Naarm. Worner’s songs evoke a strange romantic sadness, underscored by his baritone voice and nostalgia-laden melodies that linger like a cheap perfume. The result is a solemn, poignant, but woodsy sound.

It’s an effortless type of working-class sincerity; the type of gritty, biting honesty you can only get from somebody who has lived inside their songs.

A purveyor of odd jobs by day, his blend of deceptively cruisey guitar licks, self-styled recording, and hauntingly powerful voice all coalesce into a seductive blend of country, garage, blues, and Australiana.

The songs of Kyle Brew are never exclusionary; instead they invite the listener over for a beer and a yarn. They don’t dig their hooks into you, they endear themselves to you. They’re not asking you to listen, they’re asking if you need a lift or if you maybe want some help fixing up your f***'d car.

Kyle's 2025 debut album - Life and Living - celebrates the culmination of years dedicated to mastering the craft of writing, recording, engineering and performing.
