Velvet Bloom + Saturn Chromatic @ The Berry Hotel

The Berry Hotel hosts one of the standout sessions of the weekend, bringing together two exciting acts for an afternoon of groove, soul and contemporary songwriting.

Saturn Chromatic is an emerging Sydney-based live project centred around groove, rhythm and movement. Built for the stage, the band combines deep-pocket rhythms, playful musical arrangements and an understated confidence that makes their performances both engaging and effortless.

With a sound that balances feel and momentum, Saturn Chromatic brings a fresh perspective to contemporary groove-based music. Their relaxed yet compelling approach creates the perfect atmosphere for a Sunday afternoon session, making them a fitting support for Velvet Bloom at one of the weekend’s headline events.

Headlining the afternoon is Velvet Bloom, a Melbourne-based genre-defying collective whose music weaves together elements of soul, funk, indie, folk and pop. At the centre of the band’s sound is vocalist and songwriter Maddy Herbert, whose emotive vocals and poetic lyricism bring warmth, vulnerability and depth to every performance.

Backing Herbert is a powerhouse ensemble of musicians who each contribute their own creative voice to Velvet Bloom’s rich and expansive sound. Together they blend groove, texture, melody and atmosphere into performances that feel both intimate and uplifting. Drawing on influences from across soul, folk, indie and contemporary pop, Velvet Bloom create music that is immersive, emotionally resonant and effortlessly captivating.
