Over 5,000 music-lovers tuned in live from around the globe to join one another and help celebrate WA’s music community and songwriting talent. It’s a true testament to our WA artists and industry to see so many people from WA, across Australia, and as far away as the US and UK engaging with our flourishing community.
The incredible Odette Mercy took on MC duties for the evening and our Premier of Western Australia, Hon. Mark McGowan MLA provided an important message for our Industry and congratulations to our nominees, winners, and all of the WA music community.
Not to mention our visits from music icons Dave Faulkner (The Hoodoo Gurus) to present the Grand Prize, plus Katy Steele, Joe Ryan (POND), Stella Donnelly, Anna Laverty, Slumberjack, Ziggy Ramo, Lucy Peach, Kučka, Hyclass and Stu MacLeod (Eskimo Joe).
You can head here to re-live the magic of the live performances from Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse, this year’s winners Adrian Dzvuke and The Hunting Birds, plus nominees Siobhan Cotchin, Fourth State Turiya and Latehorse.
