Afro Moses Bio:

Because of his enthusiastic and somewhat quirky performances, he is frequently referred to as the African James Brown.

He grew up in the Ghanaian hamlet of Ateiku, where he began gathering local youngsters at an early age to teach them how to make their own instruments and perform.

He holds high regard for African culture, which is shown in all of his songs and performances. Afro Moses is a natural-born entertainer and speaker with a magnetic presence that draws crowds in the thousands to his concerts, where he has shared the stage with great names such as Ziggy Marley, Angelique Kidjo, Salif Keita, Michael Franti, Xavier Rudd, and Richard Tognetti.

His solo performances are instructive, incorporating 14 traditional African instruments that not only inspire and soothe the mind, body, and soul but also make you want to dance! His use of classic instruments combined with modern methods astounds his audience, particularly the young.

He also performed and composed music for the short film Inja, which received an Academy Award or Oscar nomination in 2003. He is a member of the Moses Ojah Band, which he leads.

Debi, No Victims, Do Me Wrong, Mama Africa, Ka ne Wu, Home Sweet Home, Judas, African Market Makola, Yele yele, Dabi Nsroma, Nsama, Nice Girl, and Highlife Carnival are just a few of his songs.

Stephen McCulloch – Angel – Official Video

Stephen McCulloch is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Melbourne, Australia. His music draws on folk, country, rock and pop sounds, with intricate acoustic guitar work and a voice that ranges from gentle and tender to soaring and powerful.

His songs explore the joy and pain of being human with an honesty that is immediate, engaging, and often uplifting.

Stephen McCulloch – Wheel of Life – Live

Stephen’s performances on Channel 9’s The Voice in 2015 helped propel his debut album ‘Good Things Take Time ‘ to number 15 on the Australian iTunes Singer/songwriter charts. Stephen has also performed at major Australian music festivals including Woodford, The National and Maldon Folk festivals.

His early exposure to music came through his father’s country record
collection, with Charlie Pride, Neil Young, Slim Dusty and Merle Haggard all featuring frequently in the family home in Gippsland, rural Victoria. At age 15 he picked up the guitar and harmonica which both still feature in his music today.

Stephen McCulloch – Saved by The Sea

“A rich smooth voice, with an edge that makes you want to hear more!”   
Nick Seymour (Crowded House)

“Stephen McCulloch- What a beautiful voice!”   Delta Goodrem
(Singer/songwriter/actress)

” The variation and accompaniment was perfect and always left you
curious how the next song would run and where it would take you ”

The Valley Market ECOSS-

It all started with farm gate sales at Silvertine farm ECOSS to replace The Warburton Summer Produce Market back in March 2020 just as the Pandemic hit Australia.  The Market has now grown to become a vibrant market and a saviour for many to purchase fresh local produce throughout Covid at Yarra Valley ECOSS. As a result we have made the decision to re-brand the market to become The Valley Market and run the market all year round at ECOSS and in addition The Warburton Valley Market runs once a month on the weekend and run all year round!
