ANNA WEATHERUP
Sydney NSW
Indie, folk, gospel

Anna Weatherup is an International Award Winning Musician, who is currently working on her fourth studio album, in a country town of NSW. Anna’s music is soulful and raw. It includes a mix of Folk, Gospel, Soul, Light Rock and a touch of Country.

Having supported the likes of Colin Hay, Thelma Plum, James Reyne, Marcia Hines and recently Daryl Braithwaite, Anna is quickly garnering a reputation as one of Australia’s leading songwriting lights.

In 2013, Anna took part in Season 2 of The Voice Australia, performing Fields of Gold by Sting. After a heartfelt rendition, Anna turned 4 chairs and managed to bring the audience, and guest judges to a standing ovation. After only a short but memorable stay on the show, Anna was back to writing and recording with a number of EP and single releases in 2014 to 2021.

Anna is currently writing and recording more music and plans to release a new album in 2022.

FR MARK BAUMGARTEN
Perth WA
Blues, ballads, gospel, rock and pop

Fr Mark Baumgarten is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Perth, Australia. A self-taught pianist, he worked as a musician prior to entering seminary, and the lockdown of 2020 inspired a return to songwriting. His debut album, Now and Not Yet, could be seen a kind of musical autobiography, with songs that trace his path from youthful searching to a priestly vocation. His follow-up album, The Little Ones, is out now.

Fr Mark’s songs aren’t “church music” (and they certainly aren’t intended for use in the liturgy). They simply aim to be the kind of music he likes to listen to – well-crafted songs that touch on deeper themes – and they cover a variety of genres including blues, ballads, gospel, rock and pop.
