BFC presents welcome Antoine and Owena with Support from Atticus the Ocean to our local artists showcase 2026.
Our regular followers will have spotted the date change. We apologise for this. It is beyond our control.
The Ringwood venue are undergoing essential works to their heating system from the 05th January, so we had to postpone for a week.
Join us for an evening celebrating the vibrant musical talent growing right here in our region. This Local Artist Showcase is your chance to experience fresh voices, heartfelt songwriting, and the raw energy of artists on the rise — all in an intimate, welcoming setting.
We’re thrilled to feature Antoine & Owena, a captivating folk duo known for their rich harmonies, storytelling lyrics, and dynamic stage presence. Their music blends traditional influences with a contemporary edge, setting the tone for a night of discovery.
Alongside them, we’ll introduce a handpicked lineup of emerging local and regional artists, each bringing their own unique sound — from acoustic ballads to roots-infused rhythms. Expect surprises, soul-stirring performances, and the joy of finding your next favourite act.
🎟️ Support grassroots music. Celebrate local creativity. Be part of something special.
