Take a guitar and throw it in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of blues, a dash of funk, a spoonful of classic and a large punch of flamenco. Stir vigorously into a colourful instrumental display of original music. Lace it lovingly with some light-hearted humour and blazing guitar work and you have the recipe for a show by Cadence.
The heart of Cadence consists of James Diamond and his student Justin Husband. The dynamic between these two virtuosic guitar players really has to be seen to be believed.
James Diamond has been entertaining audiences up and down the East Coast of Australia for over 20 years with his dynamic acoustic guitar show and Latin based/flamenco guitar playing. His shows have included full bands, duo’s and solo work but have always been about fiery guitar playing with humour and fun. Of all his endeavours, his guitar troupe “Cadence” was met with the most critical acclaim and brought him work with industry giants such as Marcia Hines, Rene Geyer, George Benson, Gerry and the Pace Makers, Brian Cadd and Tommy Emmanuel.
Now, after years of hiatus, James joins forces with his student from the Queensland Conservatorium, Justin Husband, to bring Cadence to a new audience with a new sound but with the same entertaining show.

Justin brings his stylistic country/bluegrass and blues playing into the mix, so one minute Cadence will be playing a fiery, Latin piece and the next will break into a bluegrass medley followed by a soulful blues. Cadence can be booked as a duo (James and Justin), a trio or quartet depending on the requirements of the patrons. In cases where more than a duo is needed, James and Justin have regular guests that are always eager to play with them on stage. No matter the line-up, the boys promise a captivating show that will delight the audience.

Josh Lee Hamilton is an indie folk/ singer songwriter from the small yet vibrant surf town of Byron Bay, Australia. After releasing his dreamy and upbeat single, “Golden” in late 2016, and his warm and intimate single “Soul Breaks”,Josh has just has just released one of his more light hearted, catchy, upbeat and endearing tunes , “No Fun”, which is laced with catchy riffs and hypnotic gang vocals.

However you will be able to your hands on a hard copy CD of the “Find Your Way” EP at one of his upcoming tour shows along the East Coast of Australia.

Josh has a unique ability to craft songs that express the big and small, the shallow and deep, the in and the out, the head and heart, the soul and spirit, you and me. Josh writes songs that tell stories of love, struggle, relationships, hope and faith and are an expression of both his personal life and observations of the world around him.

Music has always been in Josh’s bones, since he was young. Up until now he always kept his “hand in it” (as encourage by his fanatical music loving grandfather) doing what he can alongside other career paths. However now, in late 2016, he has decided that now is the time to “have a crack at it” and pour his full heart and energy into what comes to Josh most naturally…. music, song writing and performing.

Even though his energy and time has been some what divided and dispersed up until now, he has still managed to achieve musical career milestones along the way, such as being selected as a feature artist on Triple J Unearthed in 2007, being invited to play at Splendour In The Grass in 2015, featuring in a compilation album “Songs For The Sea”, having his song “Mindless Days” synced in a TV series “No Way San Jose”, and releasing his EP, “Lost In Your Time” in 2013.

The 60’s and 70’s did more than just pass by – they gave rise to the adolescence of a new world. This legacy of peace, love and world vision was etched in stone by an amazing collection of songs and sounds that captured the essence of mankind’s most creative years in music.

An explosion of funk, flute, sax, synth and groove, the dance floor is packed at a VAUDEVILLE SMASH live show and their Sunday Session gig at Hotel Brunswick will be no different!

“I’ll be damned if Vaudeville Smash aren’t the most mind-blowingly refreshing live act to emerge from Melbourne since God knows when.” – Lachlan Kanoniuk, Beat Magazine.

Made up of three brothers and two mates, no other Australian band sounds like ’em. . In case you’re wondering, they took their name from an Italian children’s karaoke machine that was around in the late ’80s.

In 2016, VAUDEVILLE SMASH released their sophomore album The Gift. A synth heavy, sax laden, bass induced journey. A contemporary reworking of the early 80s funk/boogie scene, the album evokes visions of Cameo, Midnight Star and the Gap Band and encompasses almost two years of writing, recording and touring.

Since their first gig at Fitzroy’s Bar Open in September 2009, VAUDEVILLE SMASH have carved their own niche, building a formidable following in their hometown of Melbourne and around the world. Their international adventures have seen them sign with Japan’s P-Vine records, after returning to Tokyo and the Sapporo City Jazz Festival in July 2015 for the third consecutive year, where they also filmed the video for their single RICHTER SCALE. Other notable mentions include playing the South by South West conference in Austin Texas twice (having been invited back), shows in New York, Tokyo, Singapore, Toronto for Canadian Music Week, main stage at St Kilda Festival, the Australian Open Tennis, selling out the Corner Hotel twice, and many unforgettable shows at Woodford Folk Festival 2015/16 and 2017/18.

May 2014 saw another exciting chapter in the eclectic VAUDEVILLE SMASH story, with the release of their world wide smash, Zinedine Zidane. The single, featuring the voice of Australian soccer, Les Murray, quickly became a viral hit, garnering over nine million youtube views, and was featured in some of the biggest publications on the planet, including Billboard, ESPN, Eurosport and the BBC.
