About

Triple delight at the Jailhouse!

On Saturday 17 October 2026, the historic Kew Court House stage will come alive with a Jailhouse Concert lineup that promises rock-solid groove, swagger, and serious musical fireworks. This is one unmissable night built to thrill seasoned music lovers and curious newcomers alike.

Joshua Batten Band

The Joshua Batten Band brings a powerful blend of exceptional musicianship and heartfelt songwriting. Fronted by the magnetic Joshua Batten, whose impassioned vocals and accomplished guitar work command attention, this band delivers richly layered originals infused with introspection, grit, and hope. Backed by the unstoppable rhythm section of bassist Terry and drummer Jeremy Li, the Joshua Batten Band inject fire and finesse into every note, alongside reimagined rock classics that have stood the test of time.

“Joshua places his heart and soul into his performances.” — Greg Phillips, Australian Musician Magazine

Montana Sharp

Fresh from touring with Echoes of Pink Floyd, jazz-klezmer ensemble Fifth of Nisan, and major music theatre productions, Montana Sharp takes centre stage in a rare return to her songwriting roots. An eccentric art-pop alchemist, Montana fuses classical chord structures with daring modern pop to create a lush, cinematic live experience you won’t soon forget. Her debut EP, Blood Moon (2022), captures the raw beauty and uncertainty of early adulthood—shedding armour, asking the big questions, and leaning into vulnerability.
