This weekend we've got a packed out gig schedule full of not-punk-or-metal starting with the excellent and extremely eclectic Rutherford Jazz Trio! They're bringing funk, fun and friends Squibs and LanGwij for an excellent evening of grooves and good vibes.

Be there. Walking directions from Bellbowrie in the video, tickets at the link: https://bansheesbar.com.au/event/rjts

Friday night we’ve got the inimitable and inaccurately named Rutherford Jazz Trio taking over the venue for a bombastic night of funk, with local legends Squibs and LanGwij bringing some soul, hip hop and jazz to the table. RJT have been selling out venues around Brisbane with their antics and fish hats charming audiences and venues alike, be sure to catch them while you can! Tickets are $15/$20 and doors open at 7!

Saturday it’s our favourite time of the seafaring month because The Salty Sirens are pulling into the Banshees port for their wonderful Folk’N’Shanty night! This month they’re bringing the mesmerising nyckelharpa maestro Sue Ferrers for her final performance in Australia before she moves overseas for a year of further musical study. The sapphic sailors Kristy and Elyse will get you singing along with their sea and she shanties, so come celebrate the end of Pride month with them! Doors open at 7pm and music kicks off at 7:45. Tickets are $15/$20 online or $20/$25 at the venue, so get your tickets now!

And Sunday, get ready for a high-energy night of live music at the Rowdy Roots Roundup, taking over Banshees Bar & Artspace in Ipswich.

They’re visiting with support from Ella Jones! Tickets are $30+BF online and doors open at 4pm!

Mardi Gras-Burg PARTY with Tara Zann, Mitchell Duke, Shotgun Sam and DJ Oi Nate

Get ready for high-octane blues chaos and rock-&-roll heat from this iconic all-ipswich band!
