One of Melbourne's favourite sticky carpets has booked a killer lineup for the rest of the month.
You can always count on the Corner Hotel to deliver an eclectic and exciting range of talent. Since freaking 1871, the institution has been delivering good times and cold beers to the people of Melbourne, and they’ve got no plans of stopping anytime soon.
But the next two weeks of talent really stand out. From a free Jameson-sponsored party to the deep and empowering tracks of one of Torquay’s top singer-songwriters, it’s a mixed bag in the best way.
Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
