Pharlaps Heart bring the blues with deep grooves, soulful guitar work, killer originals and plenty of swagger. These guys always bring such a fun, relaxed vibe to the stage with great tunes, great energy and the kind of set that makes it very easy to settle in with a cold one and enjoy the ride.

We can't wait to have this powerhouse blues trio back with us!

September's lineup is a little taste of the incredible talent that graced the stages of Vicstock 2026. We loved these acts so much we couldn't wait until next year.

Opening the show is Sam Bucca (Lithgow), bringing his unmistakable brand of bush punk rock. Raw, honest and unmistakably Australian, Sam's songs blur the line between folk storytelling, rock 'n' roll attitude and outback grit.

Rolling in from Bathurst, Pharlaps Heart delivers a powerhouse blues trio set packed with deep grooves, soulful guitar work and enough swagger to fill the room.

Closing out the night is one of Orange's finest, Daniel Woelk, bringing the full band to the stage for a rich, electrifying blues finale. If you've seen Dan before, you already know. If you haven't, this is the night to change that.

Three incredible acts.
One stage.
Free entry.
Original live music.

Food for thought friends

People are seeking a more sustainable alternative as the closure of smaller rooms reduces the pool of spaces where emerging bands can get a gig.

Greeting friends and music lovers!!
Well what a crazy great nite we just had in the Groove Kitchen with Eli Stanford and Errin Kelly and The Merge.
It’s such a pleasure and a privilege to work with great musos. Eli apart from being a polished performer with a powerhouse voice is such a cool relaxed dude, easy going and very low maintenance. After a hectic set up for the band he stood up a delivered one of the best solo performances we had seen in quite a while. We hope to see more of this young gun in action.

Errin Kelly and the lads who are The Merge, Spider, Julian and Harry stormed the stage and took no prisoners delivering a blistering set, tight and focused. Hailing from Melbourne these folks know how to deliver and loved the whole road trip experience reprising and exceeding their previous visit earlier this year at Vicstock. They love regional venues and audiences with a particular affection for The Vic - Victoria Hotel Orange rating this as one of the best live music venues they’ve played in. We we’re certainly thrilled to have them and witnessed seasoned artists with decades of combined experience in their prime. Friendly relaxed and generous the lads make new friends wherever they go.

Keeping in the spirit of the finest artists on offer we welcome back the supremely talented Dean Haitani and local cool cats Dave Smith and The Velvet Knots in the first of two spring sessions in September along with No Motor and The Cicada Club later in the month.
Of course Off The Tracks At The Vic will be running their celebrated monthly session as well, so shake off the winter hibernation blues and venture out to Orange’s undisputed home of LIVE MUSIC!!

See YOU in the kitchen!!
