Live Music – Kane Vincent

August 10 August 15

Kane Vincent will be performing at the Bore Campsite from 10-15 August 2026.

What’s a chef to do when he’s over the smoky grills, long hours, family drama, relationships, and life in general? Some blokes buy a Harley, some chase younger women, well Kane Vincent took the advice of a Jason Isbell song to “find what makes you happy … and do it till you’re gone,” picked up his old Maton, and got stuck into it.

Over the last seven years he’s lugged that guitar from pubs, to parties, and festivals, but is no longer singing in the kitchen. A loveable spirit, impressive song writing, and engaging vocals won him the 2024 Country On Keppel Talent Search; a definitive “I reckon I can do this” moment.

Keenly observant, Kane finds lyrical inspiration in both the mundane and extraordinary stories of the everyday. These songs have a folk/pop sensibility, a soulful edge, more than a hint of country and a familiar nod to the blues.
