About Goldford
GoldFord is a singer-songwriter with a voice that carries weight – rich, emotive, and unfiltered. With a timeless blend of pop and soul, he writes music rooted in truth, vulnerability, and healing.

The St. Louis, Missouri born, now LA based, GoldFord recently released his 9-track EP Space of the Heart, is a raw, unfiltered collection of songs that balance introspection with catharsis and grapple with heartbreak, healing, and the quiet revelations that come with growth and maturity. Music became not just a dream, but a vital expression of purpose and resilience. His breakout single ‘Upside Down’ announced his arrival, followed by the viral hit ‘Orange Blossoms’, which garnered over 70 million Spotify streams and earned co-signs from Sam Smith, SZA and Noah Kahan. GoldFord has since gone to release a catalogue of hits including ‘Orange Blossoms’, ‘Ride the Storm’, ‘Easy Does It’, ‘Walk With Me’, ‘Got You Right’, ‘Celeste’ and ‘Runnin’’.

About WILSN (special guest all shows)
With a contemporary approach and a healthy dose of raw power, vocal-powerhouse WILSN makes classic soul music that feels at once timeless and of the current moment. Originally hailing from Geelong, WILSN moved to Melbourne to study jazz at the Victorian College of the Arts and to immerse herself in the city’s vibrant music scene.

“Since I was a kid, I’ve been captivated by soul music-the emotion, the power, and the stories woven into every note-and I always strive to create music that not only reflects my own truth but also pays tribute to the stories and voices that built the foundation I’m standing on,” says WILSN. “Like those great soul singers, who came before me–my musical heroes-Aretha Franklin, Etta James and Gladys Knight to name just a few.”

Since the release of her debut album, Those Days Are Over, in 2023 - a record bursting with jaw-dropping vocal performances and fusing modern soul, pop, jazz and Motown – it’s been a big couple of years for WILSN. October 2025 saw the release of WILSN’s sophomore album Bloom (out now via Mushroom Music, here). Bloom carries the fire and finesse of New York’s soul scene and is brought to life by an all-star ensemble featuring members of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Thee Sacred Souls, Charles Bradley and Jalen Ngonda’s bands. Adding to this pedigree, album track ‘Waiting For You’ was co-written with Sharon Jones’ band leader Binky Griptite.

Bloom sees WILSN blossom into the fullness of her musical powers and cements her as one of the most essential voices in a new generation of Australian soul singers.
