Live Music – Jonah James

Jonah James will be performing live at the Bore Campsite at Charlotte Plains from 26 September – 2 October 2026.

At just 24, Jonah is an award-winning Folk/Roots artist who has conquered stages across Australia and internationally. The 2022 Australian National Busking Champion turned festival headliner, Jonah’s musical journey spans more than a decade — from street performances at 13 to representing Australia at the Buskers World Cup in South Korea.

A gifted multi-instrumentalist mastering banjo, guitar, bass, cello and more, he’s graced iconic stages including Tamworth Country Music Festival and Gympie Muster. From humble busking beginnings to achieving his dream of making a full living from music, Jonah seamlessly blends traditional country roots with contemporary appeal that resonates wherever he performs.
