The Musician's Collective Live: Seed of the Song
A songwriter round with Sydney’s grassroots artists
Join us for a special night of stories and songs as The Musician’s Collective brings its celebrated community event series to the intimate underground space of Low 302.
This time, we’re doing things a little differently. Seed of the Song is inspired by the legendary songwriter circles of Nashville — where four artists share the stage, taking turns to tell the story behind a song, perform it live, and then pass the spotlight to the next.
Featuring some of Sydney’s most exciting grassroots artists across electronic, indie, neo-soul, and folk, this is an evening for lovers of storytelling, songcraft, and the magic that happens when artists come together.
It’s a rare chance to experience music in its most honest and vulnerable form — deeply personal and rooted in the creative process. You’ll hear the seeds of ideas, the moments that sparked them, and the songs they grew into.
Erin Badman
Erin’s musical journey began at 16, singing jazz standards in a smoky bar where she fell in love with emotional storytelling. Rooted in jazz but never confined by it, Erin’s sound has evolved into a captivating blend of folk, neo-soul, and jazz — drawing comparisons to Moses Sumney and Lianne La Havas. Her music is marked by soul-stirring vocals, lyrical intimacy, and a deep commitment to emotional truth, inviting listeners on a journey of reflection, self-discovery, and quiet transformation.

Fetherstone
Fetherstone is the solo project of Central Coast vocalist/composer/producer Briana Cowlishaw, weaving together the intimacy of indie folk storytelling, the soaring vocal textures of dream pop, and beats that range from indie electronica to R&B. With over 15 years of international performance experience as a jazz vocalist, Bri began Fetherstone while living in London in 2016, searching for a more personal and experimental way to write songs beyond genre constraints. Currently working on a new album, she draws inspiration from artists such as Emily King, Billie Eilish, Little Dragon, and the ethereal mantras of vocal group Beautiful Chorus.
