The Four Scoops are a combination of four unique working musicians from differing musical heritages bound by a love of back-beat groove.

The groups musical heritage harks back to a time of melting musical styles as Jazz met early Rock n Roll. Their repertoire is wide and varied from Blues shouters Winonie Harris to Jazz back beat legend Louis Jordan to Fifties crooners to Bolero versions of Cold Chisel and Dragon hits. The Four Scoops love of variety in tunes and grooves has its basis in the diversity of the members.

Rescheduled from Leaps and Bounds Music Festival 2021, 'Dream Of Being' aims to showcase local artists whose music immerses the listener into an ethereal soundscape. Drifting guitars, radiant synthesisers, and mesmerising melodies will lift the audience into a newfound headspace.

Right in the heart of Brunswick St, Bar Open has hosted roots, rock n roll and general brouhaha since 1998. Bar Open is notorious for its honest atmosphere and has a reputation for supporting experimental, live and local music. The band room is pumping 6 nights a week and drinks are served until late every night. Bar Open is a bastion of the old Fitzroy.

After over a year spent contemplating our lives indoors, Bar Open is dedicated to reinvigorating the live music scene within the City of Yarra. Dream Of Being looks to bring the community back together through shared experience; celebrating the opening of doors that remained shut throughout this time.
