We are excited to announce our next Old School Session features acclaimed singer/songwriter Kris Mizzi.

Friday 21st August 2026, The Oasis Rainbow

“Kris Mizzi is one of the most impressive performers I have ever come across on the Australian music scene. A beautiful voice and excellent guitar playing, and every one of his own songs of a particularly high standard.” — Andrew Pattison (Music Promoter/Festival director)

With a voice that is both strong and tender, Melbourne singer-songwriter Kris Mizzi has earned his place among Australia's most captivating folk artists. A masterful storyteller, Mizzi crafts songs that linger long after the final note, weaving beauty, truth, and vulnerability into every line. His live performances are a kaleidoscope of emotions—joyful, uplifting, spiritual, comedic, and deeply moving.

"Kris is the real deal - a singer/songwriter who sees us as we really are and shows us our community with a clarity that is rare. He'll have you laughing, teary and knowing that our tradition is alive and kicking!" — Judy Small (Australian Singer/Songwriter)

Winner of the 2017 Troubadour Award and the 2021 Folk Alliance "Australian Solo Artist of the Year", Mizzi has become a standout voice in Australia’s folk music scene. His debut album, Some Other Morning (2019), solidified his reputation with festival anthems that have audiences on connecting with Mizzi's songs. Mizzi has recently been billed for 3 of Australias highest profile Music festivals (Port Fairy FF, Woodford FF and The National Folk Festival) and has been extremely well recieved across the country.

"Kris is the best singer songwriter I’ve heard in Melbourne in 40 years. And what’s more - he’s got a voice that moves hearts." — Greg Champion

Fresh from showcasing at Ireland’s prestigious folk conference, Your Roots Are Showing, and performing on the revered Danny Kyle Stage at Galsgows 'Celtic Conncetions', Mizzi continues to leave an indelible mark wherever he plays. Musicians and fans alike have hailed him as a leading voice in Australian folk, delivering performances that feel like intimate, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

“A deceptively gentle storyteller, his songs, like a good book, resonate deeper and deeper with every listen. Simply beautiful.”
– Paul Samwell-Smith (Producer: Cat Stevens, Yardbirds, Carly Simon)

This will be a night not to be missed! Limited seating available, bookings essential. BYO.�

Tickets $25 // Doors 7:30pm

The 'Rainbow Archive and Historical Society' and 'The Oasis' are both sub-committees of the Rainbow Progress Association. We are also next door neighbours!

On Sunday they are having an Open Day where you can check out the amazing historical items they have on display. A lot of volunteer hours have gone into creating fantastic new exhibits and it is well worth a look.
