Zech draws his inspiration from the likes of a vast collection of greats such as John Williamson, Stevie ray Vaughn, Mark Knophler and Tyler Childers. He threads his love of the country, ocean and good times into his unique laid back and dynamic performance.

It’s important to have dreams, it’s important to be bold. But most of all its important to listen. Sometimes the universe has bigger plans for us and if we don’t listen it will yell at you loudly.
The secret to life is to follow your flow and this thing just aint’ flowing.

Unfortunately due to powers outside of my own I need to move on from the Dusty project. Without the support of an innovative planning team within our council, without realistic rental and rate prices (we pay 10k in rates a year 👎🏽) and all the other seemingly unnecessary hands reaching into the pockets of small business owners, doors will continue to shut in our beautiful town. The system to me, seems broken and these old models don’t align with the contemporary business landscape. A four year battle got us a year and 1/2 of magic… a little glimpse of what we could have should the system have a reality check and stop choking small business. For now I choOse to not participate in this as I believe there is a much better way.

So lets celebrate the positives. We created 14 jobs. We supported only local growers and food artisans. We produced over 170 gigs… We survived a natural disaster. I secured funding that injected (yes I forgot the d in the video…) 40k into the pockets of NSW musicians and industry professionals. We made it one time round the sun despite all odds. Most importantly We made the safe and inclusive space that celebrated creative outcomes, fostering community that I have always dreamed of.

I have been told that the proposed warehouse expansion will never be approved due to ‘Fire Safety Concerns’. Council also estimated contribution fees between $32k and $96k which is not a realistic cost for us to carry. Given there is no prospect of increasing our capacity and scaling our business, I have no choice but to close the doors to prevent any further loss.

DONE & DUSTED…

Thank you for your immense support and encouragement. It has been the heart beat that kept me going.

I will continue to advocate for the Arts in Lismore through my partnership with NORPA.

Sam will continue to bring you ‘real food’ at the Tuesday Organic Markets.

Time to re-imagine and welcome in the new chapter. Its been such a wild and colourful ride. Who knows what’s next… how bloOdy excitement!

This isn’t a sad moment, it’s the transition to the new... Let’s celebrate all that has been so magic about this chapter.

Last day of trade 1st Feb 2020 | APTS (Apartments) will be making the last music in Dusty Attic Music Lounge. Gigs every night 🤘🏽

Much love and gratitude, Kate x

⚡️TONIGHT LIVE 22.01.20⚡️
blew our minds when they came to perform at the Dusty Open Mic back in November, so much that we invited them to back for a full show!!
⚡️
Local lads Blackwood Band have been jamming together since as long they can remember starting out on a broken guitar and pots and pans, these boys have now evolved into true and well regarded musicians.
Combining their multi-instrumental skill on Double Bass, Bass, Trumpet, Keys and Drums these 3 lads create an exciting fusion of Jazz Funk Blues and Rock, and they are dedicated and passionate about all things music.
Last year Blackwood were proud to take out the Youth Mentorship Band Category at the Mullum Music Festival.
The boys can be seen most weekends busking to a crowd on the streets of Byron Bay.
Blackwood are stoked to be performing at the Dusty Attic and are so freken’ stoked to have them back!!

💥LIVE TONIGHT💥9.1.20💥 THE AWESOME present their original music at Lismore's Dusty Attic Music Lounge.
💥
This is a very special event as this duo, namely Mileyna Cifali and Jim Horvath, lost their glorious home in Mallacoota on NYE and we, their friends, are helping to fundraise for them on the night. Neither Jim nor Mileyna would seek such help. We, their friends, are promoting this event because we are so concerned for the wellbeing of these generous and giving souls. Particularly as Jim has recently suffered two strokes in late November/early December. This last blow is just one too many.
💥
But, in their usual caring way - once it is safe for them to return to their homeground - THE AWESOME will be organising a fundraiser for the Mallacoota community, particularly as half the homes in this pristine coastal town were lost to the raging NYE fire.
💥
So, come along for a wonderful night of celebration of their music, and to cheer them on. ⚡️7pm⚡️
💥
You can also donate at a GoFundMe page set up by their dear friend, John Passant, to help Mileyna and Jim cover a few day to day expenses.
