Wild Turkey has announced the five winning emerging artists from its acclaimed Wild Turkey Music 101 mentorship programme, who will now join iconic Aussie rockers Killing Heidi on their national pub tour later this month, celebrating the top 101 Greatest Pub Songs of all time.
The five winners: Serendipiti, Norwood Band, Jamie Lamont, Piper Butcher and one more to be announced in Sydney, have earned the chance of a lifetime to support Killing Heidi on tour where they’ll reimagine iconic pub anthems whilst connecting with industry professionals and getting closer to the band that sound tracked your youth with hits like Weir and I Am.
The winners will join Killing Heidi as they hit the road to discover fan favourite pub songs, following in the footsteps of legendary acts like INXS, Jet, Screaming Jets, The Angels, Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil – all artists who got their big breaks performing in pubs across the country. From intimate venues to iconic stages, the winners will experience the authentic pub circuit that has shaped the music industry for decades.
These emerging artists won’t just be opening acts. They’ll be learning from Ella and Jesse Hooper as they hit classic pubs across the country. This year’s mentorship programme continued the brand’s commitment to nurturing rising talent, providing a platform for artists to trust their spirit and share their boldest stories. The programme selected five ambitious artists to work with industry professionals, with one hero emerging artist and four runners-up earning coveted prize packages. Tickets are available here.
