BSAF X FELONS PARTY

Join the BSAF artists and community at Brisbane’s iconic riverside venue, Felons, to kick off the final weekend of BSAF 2022. On Friday 20th May, BSAF will transform Felons’ Barrel Hall into a divine collaboration of visual and sonic pleasure, featuring the music and artworks of our incredible local creative scene. Also making a return on the night is Scribble Slam, an immersive and ephemeral art battle between two of the festival’s incredible artists, where you as the public get to choose who wins. Also an opportunity to try the official BSAF 2022 beer, designed and developed by the one and only Sofles.

LINE UP

Dream Coast

Ethan Greaves

Audio-visual entrepreneur and architect of frequency and emotion, Ethan Greaves will perform a collection of deep and groove-laden textural featurettes designed to make hearts beat and bodies move.

Hannah Macklin

Vocally virtuosic and compositionally kaleidoscopic, Hannah Macklin’s sound ranges from moments of gentle introspection to raucous metal-tinged mayhem and invites R&B, jazz and punk influences into a progressive pop rock context, allowing Hannah’s trademark voice to lead the adventures.

Liz Young- Aerial Violinist

Liz Young began playing the violin at the age of 7 and since then has been a part of many projects such as the Brisbane’s Sanctuary String Quartet, the Rock Orchestra Deep Blue and the Mendoza tango Quartet. Liz will be presenting an Aerial Violin performance.
