    JAMIE WILKINS

    I'm an NB with a passion for cars and music, weird combo I know. My interest in music started off in primary school when we would play some cool tunes on plywood and pvc pipe marimbas. Then in Highschool I found the trombone and it has managed to slide its way into my life and stay there. Unlike a lot of musicians, I don't really have anyone I look up to, no favourite artist or what not. I like finding my own way to play instead of learning to play like someone else. Thats me. Jamie.

    HERA

    Hera, Mixes cabaret, circus and musical theatre into one giant acid breathing chimera of musical whimsy and physical degustation. A prized pig of Hobart, her bacon spills over into the mouths of queers, and others alike, with her unique brand of sexy, angry, and downright depressing performance art. She is poise, she is grace, she has a bit of schmutz on her face. She is Hera.
