The Cygnet Folk Festival is one of Australia’s most iconic folk music festivals. Very highly regarded by musicians and festival-goers from all over Australia and overseas, competition to come to Cygnet is at an all time high amongst performers, and last year we had a record number of applications! The Festival is a showcase of eclectic music genres featuring both local and international talent, dance, poetry, masterclasses, film, kids’ entertainment, food, wine, art and local handicrafts all set in the breathtaking scenery of Tasmania’s Huon Valley.

The aims of the Festival are:

• to offer folk, ethno, world, singer-songwriter, roots and acoustic music, dance, poetry and workshops from local, national and international artists.
• to encourage interest in and awareness of folk music and associated activities to people of diverse ages and backgrounds.
• to provide support and opportunities to young musicians.
• to foster mutually beneficial relationships with the local community, businesses and associations.

Luis Nicola Carrete on guitar, Bree Delian on button accordion and vocals, and Laura Targett (UK/AU) on fiddle and vocals, Chemeleon’s love of Spanish melodies and Eastern European rhythms breathes new life into traditional forms, taking unexpected turns to create an experience that is both vibrant and reflective. At the heart of Chameleon’s sound lies a seamless meeting of hemispheres—a collaboration between three well-established musicians whose individual artistry blends effortlessly into something greater than the sum of its parts.
