Beerfarm & The Banksia Tavern present BRIGHTSIDER – live from the Front Bar.
Margaret River-based songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Dan White brings Brightsider to Banksia for a special solo Sunday afternoon set, serving up a warm mix of indie RnB, groove-soul and South West sunshine.

His latest project Brightsider has quickly made its mark, taking out Second Runner Up Grand Prize and Best Regional at WAM’s 2025 Song of the Year Awards with “The Hunger”, alongside a growing run of soulful, groove-heavy releases including “Sidestep” and new single “A Little Bit Of Something”.
For this one, Dan strips things back for an intimate solo performance in the Banksia Front Bar – soulful vocals, guitar and songs from across his musical life, with the audience right up close.

Jade Rich "quite the view (underwater)" Launch - Busselton
Following a breakout year featuring Triple J airplay, a stellar set at WA’s Bloom Fest, and a massive support slot for UK indie giants Amber Run, double WAM Award-nominated indie/alt-pop artist Jade Rich is putting on a show to celebrate her brand-new single, "quite the view (underwater)"!
Drawing sonic inspiration from the likes of Holly Humberstone, Bon Iver, and Griff, "quite the view (underwater)" is a vulnerable, atmospheric track about embracing the messy, non-linear nature of personal growth. With her signature stunning vocals and sincere emotional language, Jade Rich's live show extends a heartfelt invitation to her listeners: “Meet me underwater.”
It’s a space to let go, stop fighting the depths, and find comfort in simply being a work in progress.
Riding a massive wave of momentum ahead of her 2027 debut album, don't miss your chance to see one of Western Australia's most exciting upcoming artists in the alt/indie-pop space live in an intimate setting.
Busselton | Banksia Tavern
Date: Sunday, September 20, 2026
Details: Bringing the underwater tour down south, catch Jade wrapping up her release run at the cozy Banksia Tavern.

Hailing from the jarrah forests of Roleystone in the Perth Hills, The Jarrah Celts blend traditional Irish and Scottish folk with original songwriting inspired by their home on Noongar country. Their lively mix of jigs, reels and singalong ballads comes to life through wooden flutes, fiddle, bodhrán, guitars and mandolin, creating an afternoon that's equal parts energetic, heartfelt and seriously good fun.

We're stoked to welcome one of WA's finest blues musicians - Matt Cal to the Banksia front bar for an intimate Sunday afternoon of West Australian roots, blues and folk.
Hailing from Kalamunda, Matt is an engaging songwriter whose music blends acoustic guitar, dobro, slide guitar and stomp with thoughtful, earthy lyrics and melodies. His laid-back style draws on the great songwriters of the ages while carving out a sound that's distinctly his own.
It's been a huge 12 months for Matt, with the release of his sixth EP, Magic Potion, appearances at Nannup Music Festival, support slots alongside Ash Grunwald and Tijuana Cartel, plus a string of sold-out and touring shows across WA.
Joining Matt for the afternoon will be local Busso blues-man Bear McGrath, firing up the afternoon with a healthy dose of down-beat blues and six-string goodness.
