This week’s PBS Feature Album is The Making Of Silk, the brand new album from jazz-soul multi-instrumentalist Allysha Joy.

Allysha Joy is a deeply expressive singer, songwriter, producer and keys player hailing from Naarm/Melbourne, known for both her solo work and as front woman of 30/70. A uniquely talented artist, her husky soulful voice, formidable Fender Rhodes prowess and raw poeticism has garnered legions of attentive fans the world over.

Melbourne/Naarm-based artist Rowena Wise creates music that ruminates on love, alienation, and self-empowerment. Having gained a burgeoning reputation over the last few years as both a lyricist and performer, Rowena recently opened up her songbook up to the world with her debut album Senseless Acts of Beauty. A new zenith, Rowena's songs are full of emotional depth, and by allowing a searing honesty to run throughout, she’s being true to herself and the listener, holding space for all of life’s wonder and mess. 

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Home Fires, the long awaited second record from the Melbourne outfit Small Town Romance. 

On their latest release, Home Fires presents a rich and ambitious collection of songs bursting with life and finely attuned insights. With a knack for a story, an uncanny ear for melody and an innate poeticism, Small Town Romance blend folk, country and roots influences to create a sound that is uniquely their own.
