An electrifying psychedelic folk singer/songwriter with a resonance that far exceeds her years, Demi Casha’s particular brand of gum tree rock is quickly establishing her as one of Australia’s most exciting, emerging artists.
December 2021 welcomed the release of Demi’s debut EP Return. Featuring a thumping 70s inspired sound that swings from Wild Woman, a heart wrenching salute to femininity to the upbeat and highly danceable Grow, Demi has earned regular rotation on ABC Sunshine Coast, Triple J Unearthed and 4ZZZ.

With an impressive resume that includes opening for Karl S. Williams’ sell-out Brisbane show, the Sunshine Coasts dweller deliver refreshingly wild vocals sweeps over audiences like the ocean water that runs through her veins.
The sheer verve and honesty of Demi Cashas performances have made her a regular fixture at blues and folk venues and festival stages including Caloundra Music Festival, The Bearded Lady, It’s Still A Secret and many more.
Whether solo or performing with her band, you can hear a pin drop when Demi Casha takes the stage, but what follows is an emotional grenade that you’ll never forget.

“Demi Casha smoked the Howl & Moan Records Stage at Falls Festival in 2019, her incendiary live set felt like seeing the love child of Janis Joplin & Patti Smith! Strong, powerful vocals matched with a solid groove! Just Epic!” – Mario Fraietta, curator Howl & Moan Records Stage, Falls Festival Byron Bay 2019.
“Demi Casha’s raw energy and delivery of vocals transcends back to the 70’s likened to Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane. An emerging artist to be seen live.” – Cara Robinson, Hat Fitz & Cara.
“Demi is an incredible raw talent, her voice is unmistakable, powerful and beautiful. I can’t wait to see her career blossom in the years to come!” – Andrea Kirwin, Owner of Peace Run Records.

Corn Nut Creek are a powerhouse female Alt-Country/Americana duo, hailing from America and Australia. Their original music has been awarded as a category finalist and juror’s top five selection in the 2020 Blues & Roots Radio International Song Contest. The band features the artful banjo work of Tanya Bradley, paired with the deft fiddle and soulful vocals of Danielle Vita, 1st place winner of 2020 Deer Creek Fiddlers Convention (USA) vocalist award. The duo’s original songs tell raw stories of womanhood which are transporting, honest and effortless. Their story is unique; they met in Hong Kong and performed as the Dulcet Tone Collective, then moved back to their respective countries and began writing music together remotely. After four years collaborating in different countries, they reunited—this time in Australia. They have been featured on ABC Country’s ‘Saturday Night Country’, Bluegrass Country Radio’s ‘Foggy Hollow’, WDVX Tennessee’s ‘Sweetgrass’ and Blues & Roots Radio, among many others. They are planning to release their first full album in December 2022.
