On The Real Radio Show, we caught up with Luca, Tom, and Elijah from Growing Alder, a fresh face on Canberra’s live music scene. Formed just a month ago from a simple Facebook post, the band has already played their first gig at Descent Café and is gearing up for six shows in October, including a slot at Floriade’s NightFest. Their rapid rise is a testament to Canberra’s tight-knit music community and the support of venues like Descent, whose owner David has become a key champion of their journey.
Despite being new, Growing Alder is already making waves with their heartfelt approach to live music. The band shared their love for creating moments that move audiences, whether it’s head-bopping in a crowd or dreaming of fans singing their lyrics back to them. With no music released yet, they’re focused on gigging and building momentum before heading into the studio. Keep an eye on this passionate group, they’re just getting started!
