AND OUR LITTLE LOCAL POWER HOUSE......
ART POST TONIGHT....DOORS OPEN AT 6PM.......

Jaida Champney

Jaida Champney is a singer-songwriter based in Gympie, blending elements of indie, folk, pop, and jazz into her own warm, soulful sound. A regular on the local live music scene, Jaida brings heart and authenticity to every performance, with a natural ability to connect with her audience and create a relaxed, engaging atmosphere.

Jaida is set to release her second single 'Yellow Leaves' on the 17th April 2026.

In February 25, she released her first-ever single Never Loved Me — a raw, emotional debut that captures the ache of unreciprocated love and the exhaustion of giving more than you get. The track reflects Jaida’s signature honesty and marks a powerful start to her journey as a recording artist.

In 2023, she was awarded Best Performer at the Glenwood Open Mic, and in 2025, she performed at Camp for a Cure in support of cancer research and community healing. These moments solidified her role as a rising voice in grassroots music — one that speaks with purpose.

At only 21, after a life-altering car accident in 2024, Jaida made the decision to pursue her dreams without compromise. Her music became more than a passion — it became a promise to live truthfully and connect deeply, every time she stepped onto a stage.

Ella Fence

Ella Fence is a genre-defying artist known for making bold alternative pop, & indie rock,

music with cinematic intensity. With over 5 million Spotify streams and performances from

Berlin to Byron Bay, including a recent national tour across Australia supporting SOFIA

ISELLA (sold out). Ella’s music is visceral, poetic, and deeply connected to her audience.

A finalist for the Australian Women in Music Awards’ Best Development Artist, and a two-

time Gold Coast Music Awards winner with eight total nominations, Ella has earned critical

acclaim while remaining fiercely independent.

In 2025, she began releasing Records With Friends, a collaborative project that reimagines

her most impactful songs on their 10-year anniversary alongside brand-new material. The

songs are reinvented with her powerhouse five-piece band featuring Luke McDonald (John

Steel Singers, Holiday Party), bringing new depth and dynamism to her sound.

Ella is also working with acclaimed producers Dan Swift (Snow Patrol, Passenger), who

produced her breakout Wanderlust EP, and Scott Campbell (Alanis Morissette, Stevie Nicks),

adding fresh sonic dimensions to her next chapter.

Internationally, Ella has performed in Berlin, Brighton, Toronto, New York, LA, Oslo and

beyond, with showcases at DNA BLN, The Great Escape’s Alternate Escape, and Canadian

Music Week. She's toured nationally around Australia with Sofia Isella (LA) and has

supported iconic Australian artists including Kate Miller-Heidke, Washington, Montaigne,

Regurgitator, Baker Boy and more.

A boundary-pushing artist in both sound and setting, Ella is known for concept-driven

projects like the Motel Tour, a raw and raucous run of one-night-only shows inside East

Coast motel rooms, and her creative contribution to Roller Coaster (Everybody NOW!,

HOTA, Bleach Festival), which won the 2024 Impact Award.

Guy Denning in studio speaking on the processes and depth of art and the human hand that makes it.....
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly infiltrating our lives.
At ART POST we are grappling with the implications of this technology on creativity and artists.
Can (should?) artists harness the power of this technology to inform their work? Or is it some dark sinister danger?
What about the environmental impact of this technology on our planet?...
and the disparity between the rich and the poor…
Should we embrace this or not?
Each artist in this exhibition has responded to the call to explore these questions.
The guidelines were simple: work needs to engage with the topic of AI and fit in an A1 space.
