Jade Gibson | Ethan Calway

Jade Gibson is heading to the Welshpool hotel for one unforgettable night of live music featuring Ethan Calway.

Jade Gibson - Inspired by the rolling hills and wide-open spaces of growing up in rural NE Victoria, this songstress is making a name for herself with her contemporary take on country music. Over the last decade, she’s spent her weekends performing in everything from pubs in towns you’ve never heard of to appearing on some of Australia’s favourite festival stages, such as Deni Ute Muster and the Tamworth Country Music Festival.Teaming up with Melbourne producing powerhouses Msqaured, Jade's 2022 single Country Mile scored a #11 chart spot on country radio and has amassed over half a million streams on Spotify. Her 2023 single Unforgivingly Me was added to Spotify's Best of Fresh Country 2023 playlist, cementing her place as an up-and-comer in the ever-growing country music scene. With an upcoming EP set for late 2025, her most recent single, Bygones (written at the Melbourne to Nashville Songhubs camp), is her most vulnerable to date.Drawing inspiration from artists such as Taylor Swift, Fleetwood Mac, and Maggie Rogers, Jade refuses to put country music in a box. She brings flavors of folk, rock, and pop into her music. Music is an expression to Jade, and her new material is taking her in a direction that is highly anticipated, as she takes steps toward becoming a household name in Australian country music. Being named a Back 40 artist at this year’s CMC Rocks festival in Queensland is a nod from the industry that Jade is most definitely one to watch.

Ethan Calway - hails from the small bush town of Drouin in, where his deep-rooted passion for music took hold early on in his life.
