Community Musicians helping musicians

The Idea

Join the scene.

Every town and city needs a place where new artists can take their first steps. Music has never been easier to make, yet it can feel more isolated than ever, especially when gigs are scarce and the path forward isn't clear.

We focus on the musician's journey. We help new acts find their footing, build confidence on stage and connect with people who want to discover them. We remove the guesswork that can slow them down.

When musicians feel supported and know where they're heading, they grow faster, play better and take the local community with them.

The Method

Live performance.

Everything we do is built around live performance. For a new act, getting on stage is the fastest way to build confidence, find an audience and start moving forward with purpose.

►Our weekly nights help artists build confidence and try new ideas in front of an audience.
►Our showcases connect musicians with venues that want to support live music.
►Our development work gives artists the skills to match their ambition.
►Our community keeps everything alive and inspired.

Each part links to the next, so there's always a clear next step from wherever you're starting.

The Team

The Hill Brothers

Hosts & Full-Time Musicians

We're Nathan and Ryan, two brothers who've each spent around twenty years as full-time musicians. We started Guide Track Music to give local artists a place to perform and develop their craft.

We've been in bands, toured, recorded and worked the circuit long enough to know where the gaps are. Guide Track Music is our answer to them. It's our way of helping our local music community move forward.
