Rising singer-songwriter star Madi Colville-Walker will provide the entertainment for the evening, with a lovely acoustic set echoing out through the market. Her heartfelt country songs and impressive vocal chops have gained her supporting positions for musicians including Dan Sultan and the legendary Archie Roach.
