About

Seymour Sounds is designed for those who want to hear the music breathe. Across six weeks, we are re-opening our courtyard to host an intimate series of back-to-back live sets from the heavyweights and rising stars of Sydney’s vibrant nu jazz and neo-soul scenes.

This is an invitation to settle into the city’s living room - a space to gather, connect, eat, and unwind amid the warmth of live instrumentation. Experience artists pushing their own boundaries with two distinct live sets, evolving as the night transitions.

Curated by John Troughton.

Setwun is the musical brainchild of singer-songwriter, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and DJ - Josh Panakera-Molony.

Sitting at the cross-section of many music worlds. Shapeshifting through sound, instinctively soulful, his brand of futurist fusion weaves through the purview of contemporary jazz, beats and electronica with feeling. Whether psychedelic neo-soul, broken grooves, or rhythmic experimentation, Setwun makes affecting music, no matter the twist.

The Eora based Solomon Islander-Australian is as versatile as he is prolific. A much respected figure within Australia’s ever-fertile music scene, the hype has been bubbling with every small offering and tip-offs from some of the world’s most revered.

Setwun will be playing two 45 minute sets, at 6.30pm and 7.45pm, with DJ sets before, in between and after on Thursday 5 November. Register Your Attendance.
