“They’re like a mentos mint shoved in a coke bottle, ready to
explode in all the right ways!”
David Glover, President, Sydney Blues Society.
The SunBears are an international, touring blues rock band creating a sonic inferno that ignites the stage and leaves audiences exhilarated. The band have released 8 singles, 4 of which reached #1 on the Australian National AMRAP charts with the remainder sitting comfortably in the Top Ten. They have toured Europe and also played at some of Australia’s most iconic venues and festivals, including the Enmore Theatre in Sydney supporting Suzi Quatro.
Emerging Sydney-based singer-songwriter Lucy Burke brings her live show to The Fig for the first time, joined by her band for an intimate evening of original music and covers, reimagined in their signature acoustic pop-jazz style.
Set within the welcoming surrounds of Seaforth Bowling Club, The Fig is renowned as a true listening room — a space where audiences come to engage deeply with live performance. This unique atmosphere provides the perfect setting for Lucy’s expressive vocals and heartfelt songwriting to take centre stage.
Together with her band, Lucy presents a dynamic and thoughtfully curated set that blends original songs with familiar favourites, moving seamlessly between stripped-back moments and fuller arrangements. Her music draws on elements of pop, folk and easy listening, capturing themes of nostalgia, connection and everyday life.
Following the recent release of her EP Meet Me There, featuring tracks One Way Track and Good Ol’ Days, Lucy continues to build her presence as a compelling live performer across the Sydney music scene. Backed by a tight, intuitive band, her performances are both musically engaging and emotionally resonant.
With a natural stage presence and an ability to connect effortlessly with her audience, Lucy invites listeners into her world — one that is warm, reflective and uplifting — making her debut at The Fig a special night of live music not to be missed.
Coming from a Macedonian working-class
family who emigrated to Australia in the 1970’s
and raised in the shadow of the Port Kembla Steelworks,
SNEZ subtly weaves these stories into her own songs.
Yarns about hardship, romance, work ethic, poverty of Macedonia and her families aching transition into Aussie working-class life.
In 2009, SNEZ released her debut album ‘Gypsy Soul’, and there began her journey as a
travelling storyteller, with guitar in hand, SNEZ has spent the last 15 years roaming remote and regional Australia, playing country halls, house concerts, indigenous schools, festivals and even refugee camps and camp fires along the way; squeezing her world into a camper-van for months at a time.
Off the back of her critically acclaimed album ‘Fisher on the Sea’, 2026 sees the release of her 6th studio album with an Australian and NZ tour, followed by her debut
tour of the UK, Ireland and Scotland
