The Four Scoops are a combination of four unique working musicians from differing musical heritages bound by a love of back-beat groove.

The groups musical heritage harks back to a time of melting musical styles as Jazz met early Rock n Roll. Their repertoire is wide and varied from Blues shouters Winonie Harris to Jazz back beat legend Louis Jordan to Fifties crooners to Bolero versions of Cold Chisel and Dragon hits. The Four Scoops love of variety in tunes and grooves has its basis in the diversity of the members.

Bar Open have teamed up with Leaps and Bounds Festival to host an epic show that celebrates the diverse talent in the local Naarm music scene 

Erica Avenue

Erica Avenue is a 5-piece girl band drawing inspiration from pop, folk, and rock genres.
They formed in early 2024 after merging new and old friends with a keen interest in playing and creating original music. It wasn't long after forming the band, the girls found themselves in the studio recording their debut single ‘Feel It’ as well as playing sold out shows and being played on Triple J.

Kevin Silvester

Hailing from Melbourne, Kevin Silvester is a versatile singer/songwriter and producer. Infusing his Y2K pop-rock roots with a modern twist, he draws inspiration from artists like Avril Lavigne and The Veronicas. A classically trained pianist and cellist, he began writing music at the young age of 11 and taught himself music production at 13. Angsty, candid, gay, and witty - Silvester’s music is catharsis at its finest.

Elkie Kershaw

Indie rock sweetheart Elkie Kershaw blends her quirky energy into fun but meaningful hits. Burdened and blessed by her never-ending emo phase, every lyric will tug at your heartstrings as Elkie uses her melancholy yet sincere lyrics describe the universal experience of the trials and tribulations of growing up. 

Emma Yue

A self-confessed purveyor of the phrase 'do it for the plot', Emma Yue embodies the rollercoaster ups and downs of your early 20s with genre blending indie, folk and rock sounds. While she shares her psycho-drama-queen antics, she also shares deeply personal and confessional writing without shying away from vulnerability.
