Paper Tiger

Comprising three of the country’s most respected and in-demand jazz artists—saxophonist Jamie Oehlers, guitarist Stephen Magnusson and drummer Ben Vanderwal—Paper Tiger have earned international praise for their innovative blend of complex melodies, expert improvisation and dynamic textures.

Each member of the trio brings a wealth of experience and accolades, having worked with renowned artists across every genre, from Vince Jones to Sinead O’Connor. Together, they define collaboration—incorporating a vast array of styles and influences to craft a sound that is truly their own.

For this special festival performance, Paper Tiger will debut their new album, offering audiences an opportunity to experience the trio’s boundary-pushing artistry. This is contemporary Australian jazz at its finest—bold, inventive, and unforgettable.
