The INCIDENT! performs at wineries, restaurants and bistros and is also a suitable band for functions and parties or intimate-style pubs.

Now take a Look at our very extensive Song List

We are:

Michelle Hefner
- an American vocalist who has been in Australia for ten years. Her singing experience encompasses corporate, function and wedding bands and Blues and Rock bands. In Australia, she first found work with the trio 'Xploit' and sang with this group for nearly two years. Xploit played at clubs and pubs all around Victoria. Other bands have been 'Black and Blues' – A Melbourne Blues Band–; 'Bitchin’' - a five piece band playing songs from the 70’s to the mid 90’s around Melbourne, regional Victoria and King Island–; 'Stardust' – a jazz and blues standards Band, playing in places such as Peppers Dalgany, Hickinbothams’ Winery, and other similar restaurant oriented venues and 'Eat My Shorts' – a pub and function band performing around Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Now Michelle performs with the five piece 'Funk'n'Soul' band, not too difficult to guess what they play. In summary, Michelle Hefner is a very versatile and experienced vocalist with a wide repertoire and a great voice!

And

Keith Rea
- a very accomplished and talented musician, who has been playing guitar since the age of five. In 1984 Keith joined the Peninsula Folk Club from which several bands were formed, including a covers band, 'WattsOn'–; a vocal harmony group, 'Copper Kettle'–; and then an Irish acoustic band 'TARA'. This very popular band played in pubs and at festivals, and during the next six years produced first a live and much reprinted cassette and later, a studio CD. Then came five years of Irish rock with a five piece band ‘TOO-RYE-AY’, which played regularly 3 nights a week and also toured interstate and overseas. Keith also kept his hand in the acoustic scene with his duo (or sometimes trio) called ‘Half A Rat’ playing a mix of Irish, blues and country sounds.

Now Keith plays in a 6 piece classic covers band 'Men in Black', and 'Mama’s Mountain Jug Band', playing good-time music from the American South from the 1920’s to the 1950’s era, encompassing jazz, blues, bluegrass, country & more. Strong vocal harmonies and a very full fingerpicking guitar style have always being Keiths emphases.
