Rowena Rasmussen is a super talented director, dancer, actor and singer. Working with the likes of Hugh Jackman, Queen, Kelly Rowland, Ricky Martin and even yours truly. We take a trip down memory lane, from her roles in West Side Story, Fame, We Will Rock You, Miss Siagon… and laugh at the fact we were high school sweet hearts playing in a Christian Band many many years ago.

Cisco Tavares is an absolute staple in the Melbourne R&B, Funk and Soul scene. In the way of gigs he's punched his ticket more than any other singer I know. Cisco always brings the disco!! We talk about his latest project with Retro-Electro-Pop-Funk Band Mondo Freaks.

People if you’re into David Bowie and Timothée Chalamet’s talent, look and vibe, you’re going to love my next guest Adam Noviello. This is exactly what Australia needs right now; a progressive, androgynous, authentic, unapologetic diva who has the goods to back it.

Actor, Singer, Dancer - Phoenix Mendoza (interesting last name) is taking Australia by storm.

Dakota East grew up in a log cabin, on a small Island, in Ontario Canada. So Yeah, you can’t grow up in a log cabin and not pick up that old guitar.

I am lost for words when it comes to Aria award winner Mia Dyson. So I’ll quote Pink, “This girl is blowing my mind apart”. She’s opened for the likes of Stevie Nicks, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt & Joe Cocker and has more accolades than Adelaide Adams. There is nothing more devastating and satisfying than being shot down by a song . Mia shot me down multiple times.

Elaura has that soulful, sensual, satisfying sound that is now synonymous with the Melbourne Neo-Soul movement. This young-gun is showing us how it’s done Down Under. If you dig Erykah Badu your gonna dig this Gembrook Chilean Goddess Elaura.

Koolz hails all the way from the Bling Coast of Queensland. With the help of her cohort, Koolz knows how to R&B-Pop in that 90's carefree way. Rhythm, rhyme and tasty melodies is what makes her the coolest on the Coast.

Adam Newling's voice is what we at Tight Forty-Five have coined "nuts on a Choc-Top". The salty and gravelly texture of his pipes gives his original works even more meaning and character. Newling talks candidly of what it means to be half Greek in Australia and what it takes to be an original singer-songwriter in this contemporary world.

Tight Forty Five’s very first guest from the Netherlands! Pianist-virtuoso and old mate Hue Blanes joins us from The Hague as we take a figurative walk down the streets of Europe and Melbourne's memory lane.
