Opening for Jeff is Zane Thompson. Zane is a singer songwriter out of Sydney with close connections to Wauchope and the Mid North Coast, whose music invites listeners to surreal and other-worldly realms.
Tempered by his down to earth nature, Zane imbues his live performances with a depth of emotion that moves audiences. Having played as frontman in Rufflefeather since 2011, Zane cut his teeth playing around the Sydney scene.
In 2015 Zane began writing & performing in a solo capacity, satiating his desire to explore more gentle musical territories. This exploration culminated in the release of his debut solo E.P “Guilt Free" in December 2016.
