Kate Rigby is a young Tasmanian singer-songwriter who delivers her original compositions as a solo artist. Taking inspiration from powerful female artists such as Bec Stevens and Georgia Maq, the songs she writes are raw, vulnerable, and full of stories that hold deep meaning to her.

Kate started writing her own songs in 2020 with the influence of her older brother's musical interests. Kate has been a self-taught singer from a young age and has been teaching herself guitar for just over three years.

With the experience of performing at Party in the Paddock, Festivale, Good Gumnuts Festival, and opening for large-scale acts like Slowly Slowly, The Smith Street Band and Sly Withers, she is excited to share her work at Roam 2026.

As a relatively new addition to Tasmania’s thriving music scene, The Disappearer (the nom de plume of singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer Luke Shields) feels compelled to prove his worth alongside some of this country’s best talent. With over two decades of experience recording and performing with bands and artists like Have/Hold, Danny Barwick, Buchanan, Jess Locke, and many more, he has become adept at weaving a sublime and mesmerising tapestry for audiences to chance upon. In stark contrast to the bombastic melodrama of previous work, The Disappearer is a markedly darker, more considered affair, owing more to Augie March, Iron & Wine, Nick Drake, Big Thief, and Portishead than the post-punk and hardcore preoccupations that drove earlier projects. The inventiveness and intensity of the latter remain at the textural heart of the project, however, leading Shields to coin the term ‘Post Folk’ as a way to tie a bow around the heady mix of influences at play.

There is something unique to Lutruwita’s sternly spectacular landscape and the fertile creative soil that sustains Tasmanian life that has informed this profound shift in his work, rendering it more intimately resonant to The Disappearer and to the audiences he has workshopped material before. This land infuses itself into every story that is told upon it, and for Shields, it is an honour to add to this rich history.

Focused on groove, tension, and repetition, his selections favour restraint and subtle progression over excess. Alongside DJing, he is actively producing, with his sound tightening and a bunch of new material moving closer to release.
