Indie neo-soul duo Farraday Tween and Calvin Bennett have been performing as Farraday's Cage since 2016, creating an impressive catalogue of original music.
Already seasoned performers, their mix of soulful vocals and skilful instrumentation make them a compelling live act.
In March, they won the Nannup Music Festival Emerging Artists Award for 2019 and this weekend, have a chance to take to the popular Settlers Tavern stage.
"Because they are only 15, the options for playing licensed venues is limited," explained manager Noah Shilkin of Sonic Lolly.
"They'll be opening for Boom! Bap! Pow!, and they're really excited to be hitting the Tav over the long weekend."
The pair have been busy adding to their growing list of gig dates with sets at Burger Baby, Brewhouse and the Margaret River Gourmet Escape, garnering fans with their unique blend of neo-soul, pop, blues and jazz.
"The win at the Nannup Music Festival puts them in very good company, and they've also had the opportunity to open for San Cisco at a huge outdoor show at Cockburn Arena," said Shilkin of the young band.
