Noosa band Ampersand are set to launch their latest single, Birthday Blues, at a brand new entertainment venue opening this weekend in Birtinya.
They hit the ground running with their debut EP, Originality, already reaching 22,000 streams across over 70 countries and being played on over 20 radio stations.
Ampersand is an entertaining, energetic and ever evolving funk/soul/pop fusion band featuring two spectacular lead vocalists backed by a tight, innovative trio of keys, bass and drums.
The group’s polished, engaging sound and infectious youthful energy allows them to adapt to any stage or venue and their original music has secured them residencies, festivals, support slots and headline gigs across Queensland.
Birthday Blues will be launched on Sunday 3 March at The Station from 2pm, with the band followed by local dance party sensations Raw Ordio.
In a mere blink of an eye, ‘Raw Ordio’, has carved their name into the hearts of music lovers, leaving a trail of awe-inspiring performances in their wake. Their debut year was nothing short of legendary, leaving incredible memories etched in the minds of those who witnessed their explosive appearances at festivals both national and international, Splendour in the Grass, Pranafest, Elements Festival, Earth Frequency, and Caloundra Music Festival.
Open to all ages, everyone’s invited to spend the afternoon hanging out at the Sunshine Coast’s new entertainment hub.
Ampersand recorded their Debut EP at Yama Nui Studios in October 2023 thanks to the Federal Government’s Regional Arts Fund’s (RAF) Quick Response Grant administered by Flying Arts Alliance. Ampersand also received a Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) Grant from Noosa Council to fund 2024 recording projects, a music video and the launch event for their full EP.
