The Lees are a family band: dad - Steve; mum - Tracey; and their 4 kids - Raechel (19), Jarod (18), Faith (15) and Savannah (12). The Lees began around 11 years ago. After playing in many different bands and finding no satisfaction, Steve Lee decided that the only way to go about it was to use what already had - a wife and four kids. Steve and his wife Tracey were sitting at a Dead Ringer Band Concert one night in their hometown of Broken Hill when he turned to Tracey and said, "that looks like a good way to make a living… Wanna do that?".

BabaJack was born out of a love of blues, acoustic and roots music. Bec and Trev are a songwriting duo, with their roots firmly in acoustic blues, folk and country. Their music reflects their life together in the Gloucestershire countryside (UK) with their children, woodworking, growing and raising. They are truly a modern, English take on the blues.

Daley grew up in Waltham Park Road, Kingston, and, influenced by American soul and Jamaican artists such as Dennis Brown, began his singing career by entering local talent shows. He became the lead vocalist for the group The Flaming Phonics, playing live around Jamaica. Daley decided to drop out of school to pursue his music career, which prompted his mother to throw him out of the family home. Needing to make some money, the group tried out for producer Duke Reid, but left before finishing their recording for him due to his habit of firing live gunshots in the studio.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is a rock band formed in 1976 from Gainesville, Florida, USA and led by Tom Petty. Petty has been supported by his band, The Heartbreakers, for the majority of his career. He has occasionally released solo work, as was the case with his 2006 album Highway Companion on which he performed most of the backing instrumentation himself. However, members of The Heartbreakers have played on each of his solo albums and the band has always backed him when touring in support of those albums.
