West Preston’s Finest

Finalists for both 2023 and 2024 Australian Folk Music Awards’ Artist of the Year, Gusto Gusto are dance floor favourites. Hailing from West Preston, a tiny pocket in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, the last two years have seen them storming stages including Glastonbury Festival (UK), Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), Dark MOFO (TAS), Tablelands Folk Festival (QLD) and Brunswick Music Festival (VIC), and supporting acts Snarky Puppy (US), Skerryvore (Scotland), The Bamboos and The Black Jesus Experience.

In October 2024, Gusto Gusto release their anticipated debut album ‘…To The Ocean They Returned’, a raucous blend of violin, trumpet and clarinet, backed by accordion, guitar, bass and drums.

Debuting at #5 on the ARIA Charts, To The Ocean is lead by single ‘Gorgon’ – a drum-led dance explosion with a moody trumpet solo and a ripping guitar feature. Gorgon is followed by second single ‘Eos/Astraeus’ – a latin-inspired waltz through time signatures and feels featuring the clarinet and electric bass.

To The Ocean comes out with a national Australian tour including festival shows across five states.
