Whiskey Jack and Kiera Jas are like coffee and biscuits, incredible alone, and even better together, and that truly shines through in ‘Old Expressions’, a cozy, firelit collaboration.
Coming together after landing on a number of show line-ups, the Boorloo/Perth collab of Whiskey Jack (Jack Dacheff) and Kiera Jas feels like fate. With Whiskey Jack praised for his nomadic style, smooth sound, timeless vocals, and poetic lyricism, and Kiera Jas adored for her bright melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and multi-instrumental talents, the combination of the two is a golden-hued celebration of storytelling though song – bringing a contemporary take to the classic sound of Australiana.
The duo have performed together across a number of Perth venues, and even curated their own intimate launch event in Fremantle known as ‘Soak in the Folk’, hosted at Hybrid Warehouse. Their stage chemistry could be soaked in like sunset light on an open verandah, resonating with fans both new and old.

Now with this folk / alt-country single in the form of ‘Old Expressions’, they weave tales of love together through lilting harmonies and homespun instrumentation. With Kiera Jas on electric guitar and Jack Dacheff on acoustic, Amy Skellern on Cello and Andrew Lawson’s seamless production. This song is comforting, with two distinct vocals, a leading cello, and a rhythmic bass line coming together to illustrate an honest reflection of natural human behaviour. It’s nostalgic and softly luminous, with a slice of whimsy.
Their song pulls you into its world from the very first note, letting the listener drink in the themes of the ever-changing nature of relationships that Kiera Jas describes as, “Even when a relationship feels old and familiar, you still find golden moments together—those deep, intimate understandings of each other’s expressions and mannerisms that no one else would notice the way you do.”
Jack Dacheff adds: “A key theme in Old Expressions is an awareness when everything is seemingly perfect, a reluctance for change regardless of its inevitability. Taking photos to remember, the unravelling of a relationship as it deepens and the pleasant charm of a surprise.”
Smile at the past and embrace something new with Whiskey Jack and Kiera Jas in their single ‘Old Expressions’, out now.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
