Since its release, Bullard has sold out headline shows across Tasmania, graced stages at major festivals like Party in the Paddock, supported heavy-hitters Ash Grunwald, and soon C.W. Stoneking. Now, he’s crossing the Bass Strait for a highly anticipated Victorian debut.

On Friday 9 May, Bullard will launch Mountains, Rivers EP at GROW Anglesea, offering audiences a taste of his windswept, soul-stirring sound. The night promises more than just a headline performance — it’s a celebration of heartfelt music in its many forms.

Opening the evening is Daniel Aaron, an indie-roots troubadour whose songs brim with tender reflections and contagious energy. Also joining the bill is Seal Prince, whose “Earth-Folk” style weaves raw emotion with elemental power, drawing listeners deep into his sonic world.

For fans of honest, roots-driven music that speaks to both place and person, Rupert Bullard’s Anglesea debut is not to be missed.
