Big Cat returns to the Retreat with friends Social Street and Meraki Minds!
Big Cat is a 5 piece neo-soul/art-rock group that focuses on storytelling; drawing on elements of jazz, latin and rock. With a strong emphasis on groove, the group employs an angular, free flowing approach to harmony in their songwriting. They combine traditional elements of classic songwriting with a more modern, creative connection to rhythm and time to create music that is familiar, yet exciting and fresh. From ethereal soundscapes to big, dramatic crescendos, the band uses a large dynamic range to express their ideas and emotions. Big Cat brings energy and passion to their performance.
Social Street is a gorgeous 8 piece ensemble bringing a rich, funky soul sound adorned with lush vocal harmonies.
Meraki Minds is a Ballarat-based 5 piece indie-pop band serving 'family Christmas vibes' with fun, jangly guitars and dreamy vocals.
