Sailing La Vagabonde’s Featured Artists
KOPANO – https://www.facebook.com/kopanomusic
Expression, passion and freedom are a few of the words that describe the essence of KOPANO. Her story is thoroughly relatable and even better, it is set against the sound of sick synth layers and powerful vocals.
The Perth artist is found in good company, supporting acts such as Banoffee and Confidence Man. KOPANO performs exciting live shows, steadily gaining a foothold on the local music scene.
Keep an eye and ear out for her latest EP set to be released sometime in 2019.
Matthew Frederick – www.matthewfrederick.co.uk
Formerly of fellow SLV featured band, ‘Climbing Trees’, folk singer-songwriting wizard Matthew Frederick continues to share his musical creativity.
His songs are interesting by nature, refusing to follow a typical or predictable progression. Instead, Frederick offers listening comfort with warm vocal tones, melodious guitar riffs and deeply embedded piano fills.
Although its been six years since the release of his last full-length EP, Matthew is continuing to play live, so try and catch him for some folk magic.
Bill Beaumont – https://www.billbeaumont.bandcamp.com
Bill Beaumont’s debut Ep was released on May 26, 2018 and is a paddle in the murky waters of experimental rock.
Although these musical journeys can be somewhat risky – producing a palatable sound, while exploring your creative musings – Bill has succeeded with this album.
Parts alternative-ambient, parts hinting at a slidey blues influence, Beaumont’s take on contemporary, home-recorded music is curiously meditative to listen to.
Drop into his Bandcamp account for a full listen and to purchase his record from only $2.
Dominic Bennett – https://soundcloud.com/dominicbennett
The haunting falsetto of Dominic Bennett strangely compliments his energetic, minimalist and lo-fidelity sound.
Music that takes you on a rollercoaster of emotion, writing and tonal sensibilities, Dominic hits the high notes with ease while showing a masterful efficacy on the classical guitar.
While biographical information on Dominic is difficult to locate, his true core understanding and workings are found in the lyrics and impassioned delivery of his songs.
Fai Rynita – https://soundcloud.com/fai-rynita
“Fai is an Indie singer-songwriter from the Byron Bay hinterland who has been developing her craft since childhood.
At age 13 she taught herself to play the guitar and soon enough began writing her own songs.
Influenced by such legends as Elliott Smith, Kate Bush, Dolly Parton, The White Stripes, The Beatles and The Cure what you get with Fai is intimate, folk-tinged songs that are bursting with quality from the first note to the final haunting chord.”
Micheal Dunstan – https://www.facebook.com/mdunstanmusic/ t
Michael Dunstan writes intricate, pensive roots and folk music inspired by Western Australia’s rugged coastline and sparse, beautiful outback.
Having spent most of his upbringing in regional Australia, his style has developed to characterise that of his environment, laid back and relaxed.
Michael released his EP ‘Solace’ in January 2017 which sent him on a tour of most of Western Australia, including performing with folk legend Ziggy Alberts on the Perth leg. The talented 21-year-old has spiked in recent months from 20,000 to over 70,000 monthly hits on Spotify and it’s only early days.
Samuel Scott McCumber – https://soundcloud.com/samuelscottmcc…
Samuel Scott McCumber seems to employ a time-tested method when penning songs; write a story, write good music, put them together. He does this unbelievable well too.
Utterly enjoyable, McCumber’s songs shine with intelligent and humorous lyricism, relatable and introspective depth.
Storytelling aside, his music is well produced, the acoustic guitar cutting through with a mellow, smooth tone.
We would really like to thank all of the artists featured on the show, you guys are such an important part of our videos of which wouldn’t be the same without you. We can’t describe how happy we are to have you onboard.
Please help us support the musicians featured on SLV by liking if you liked, sharing if you want to share and clicking all of the links to go and support the bands.
A million thanks you guys.

The Frustration of Immigration Ep.154
A lot of “The Pale King” by David Foster Wallace is based around the psychical suffering that is inflicted on people who’s job requires them to create or enforce arbitrary bureaucratic hurdles on civilians. The infliction of the inflictors. Trying to navigate the various webs of institutions and the idiosyncrasies of the people currently in charge or the particular island you find yourself on is my least favourite thing to do. I would rather be becalmed or trying to remove a hook from my nether regions. I guess myself and Elayna are basically full time Immigrants. We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun, where the hot springs.. flow. Ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaa. Congratulations to our patrons: Noah Houston and Jose Miranda!! Please send us an email. A big thanks to both of you for the support.
RUNNING OUR YACHT AGROUND!!! Ep.155
Yep. La Vagabonde got washed onto a sand bank and she wasn’t moving. It probably would have helped if the channel marker hadn’t been washed away in a storm. With the wind and waves pushing us closer and closer to the rocks and shore, we were going to need some serious help to pull us out.. and fast! All the adrenaline and stress lead to an accident onboard. Looks like it’ll be another trip to the doctors. Congratulations to our lovely Patrons Bianca Rose and Matt Dixon. Send us an email and let us know if you can make it to the sunny Caribbean to join us for an epic adventure ? sailinglavagabonde@gmail.com
