3. Jade Alice (9:00-9:30pm):
As one of the organisers of ‘Earth Fest’, Jade has a personal connection to Lighter Footprints as the granddaughter of Carolyn Ingvarson, climate activist and co-convenor of the group. She has performed at multiple events run by Lighter Footprints, and first captivated audiences with a song she wrote at 12 years old – ‘Beautiful Earth’. Her vocal tone softens into you with a delicacy that makes you think it could break if you touch it. Creating a unique blend of dreamy vintage and modern pop sounds, Jade Alice brings forth feelings of longing and nostalgia that bleed through and coat your glasses with a rose tint. Try Luminosity live at Shebeen, Angelboy or the powerful Kick Drum (Melbourne Music Bank winner). Check out Jade on Instagram, Spotify, Soundcloud and YouTube.

Melbourne pop artist and co-organiser of ‘Earth Fest’ Ivoris writes songs that sound like your favourite dessert (hers is anything chocolate). Combining lush, breathy vocals and sticky-sweet melodies, she has a penchant for crafting songs that will have you reaching for the replay button over and over again. A self-proclaimed overthinker, this singer-songwriter-producer has perfected the art of magnifying small moments in her life and transforming them into irresistible songs. Beautiful snatches here: Every hour we spend together, Let it snow orthe lush Honeysea
