This is a celebration of local talent in music and poetry, showcasing the vibrant artistic community of our city. Featuring Cassells (Band) and Poets - Jazz Giuliani, Michael Heald and Nathan Curnow.

Cassells has launched a self-titled debut album and played gigs with acts such as Clamm, Anticline, Georgia Knight, Steph Strings and Skyscraper Stan, plus Convenience Store, Keaper, Think About You and Norwood.

As part of The City of Ballarat’s live music program, Be_Hear/Now focuses on supporting musicians in Victoria’s third-largest city. That support includes identifying talent, providing mentoring and training, assets and resources to help musicians refine their craft.

“It is an absolute privilege,” says Cassells of being chosen alongside singer/rapper Sami Regague, folk psychedelic band Pyrex, electro-western band Confetti Western and 60s and 70s inspired Iridescence as the 2023 cohort.
