Join to be amongst the first to hear when Kate Miller-Heidke goes on presale.
Overview
Australia’s most gloriously contradictory singer-songwriter celebrates her new gothic folk masterpiece The Kiss and the Abyss, and twenty years since her debut album Little Eve.
Kate Miller-Heidke has always lived in a place of musical contradictions; opera and pop, theatrical and folk, epic and intimate, heartfelt and funny, classical and of the moment. Her new album The Kiss and the Abyss is no exception – a gothic folk record that explores the perils of modern technology and the internet age. Songs that are the sirens of our times – with Kate as the ultimate siren herself, luring you into her world with a voice that is glorious and otherworldly.
Alongside the new tracks, Kate will be digging into the long-buried treasure of her platinum debut Little Eve on its 20th anniversary, bringing back much-requested songs she hasn’t played in years.
Expect darkness and light, heartfelt emotion and sharp humour, raw folk storytelling and vocal fireworks, dramatic intensity and pop-folk fun. Kate’s incredible live shows are known for leaving audiences in stunned silence one minute and erupting in laughter the next.
Join Kate with her longtime collaborator, the virtuosic Keir Nuttall on guitar and special guest Meg Washington, as she charts a course from Little Eve to The Kiss and the Abyss, plus highlights from the journey between them that have made her one of Australia’s most acclaimed and cherished artists. A show for devoted fans and curious newcomers alike, of ALL AGES.
