Braden Evans (6-9pm) + Dan with Band (10pm-1am)

Sydney singer songwriter Braden Evans would often raid his father’s record collection and make mix tapes of The Beatles as a child. This early passion for The Beatles spawned not only his love for music but also his pop sensibilities. Then influences like Jeff Buckley and Ryan Adams helped him shape his raw emotive voice and effortlessly smooth guitar that we hear today. Becoming an Australian Idol Finalist in 2005 stamped Dan Spillane as an artist to watch, finishing fifth out of 30,000 acts is a tremendous achievement for such a young artist. His ability to entertain a crowd is second to none. One of the most diverse singers to emerge in Australia, you can expect to hear Jazz, Pop, Rock, Folk, Blues and Soul regularly from Dan. Dan’s ability to take a song somewhere else and make it his own is the trademark of this young, fresh, highly entertaining guitarist/singer.
