Hana Stretton is an accomplished Australian-British multi-instrumentalist, songwriter & producer. Born and raised on a farm in New South Wales, Hanaโs early life was steeped in natural beauty and isolation, which has become the influence for much of her music. Her work reflects a deep connection to her roots.
Hana made her debut record, Soon, outside, in still moments after fires and wild storms had raged through her home in the Australian bush. Completely isolated with just her beloved cows and a few instruments, recording music became a way to pass the hours. The album was self-released in January 2023, with a vinyl run by boutique Australian label brierfield flood press. The following year, P.W. Elverum & Sun (the private press of Phil Elvrum aka Mount Eerie) re-issued a special edition vinyl, selling out almost instantly. Upon release, Elvrum explained his admiration for Hanaโs music: โI hear an artist who has entered completely into the stream where creation originates [โฆ] Hana Stretton has truly recorded the deep flourishing sound of a quiet listening mind in full blossom.โ
Alice Barlow is a singer-songwriter, composer and producer from South East London known for her captivating live performances. Drawing on folk, indie and alternative influences - her dark guitar tones, haunting vocals and unique ear for melody have built a loyal following in London and beyond. With new singles on the way, she is set to release her eagerly awaited debut album on Domino Records this winter. This will be her first time in Australia.
