#"She is virtually without
peer in the pop world."
InReview

Kate Miller-Heidke is an award-winning singer-songwriter who traverses the worlds of pop, folk, opera and musical theatre. She’s performed on stages as varied as Coachella, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, the New York Metropolitan Opera, the Eurovision Song Contest, the Sydney Opera House, TV’s The Voice, and the Roebuck Bay Hotel, Broome.

She is also a born storyteller. Her music is influenced by the narrative traditions of folk, the drama of opera, and the great singer-songwriters of pop. She weaves tales of humour and pain, intimacy and grandeur, joy and regret, childhood and ghosts. The last day of school, and the last day on earth. Where joy is zero gravity, and love is like vertigo. With characters who expand within us to live beyond the confines of their four minutes - James being bullied in the school yard. Sarah’s gone missing from the festival. Muriel is just finding out she’s amazing.

Behind them all is Kate… and Kate is telling tales. (Some of them might even be true.) Reaching out to the audience, with songs and stories borne out of the many worlds and many disciplines she has travelled. Sung in a voice like no other.

The Telling Tales Tour will be a celebration of songs old and new, of voice, storytelling, emotion, humour, and music that transports and transcends. Of discovering anew each night the transformative connection between the performer and the audience.

Join us for this special opportunity to see Kate in an intimate, exposed, and revealing performance, accompanied by her long-term collaborator Keir Nuttall on guitar.

Exceptional! Kate Miller-Heidke is an amazing talent … ninety minutes of sparkle and shine, featuring songs from her five studio albums, original musicals, a couple of covers for good measure and the stories behind the songs.

Hi Fi Way

Songs of introspection, self-admission and defiance. Many take us to dark places of personal regret and remorse, but others punch skywards with iron-fisted resolve. A lifetime of experiences squeezed into one scintillating show... not to be missed.

InReview

A vibrant celebration of music, storytelling, emotion, and humour—an immersive experience that forged a deep connection between the artist and the audience.

Forte Magazine

Miller-Heidke’s performance proves once again why she is an Australian icon. … You must jump at the opportunity to see this vocal virtuoso in action.

Glam Adelaide

A tonic in a music world that has become too predictable.

Limelight

Miller-Heidke left us in no doubt that she is at the top of her game, and we are the better for having been there to witness it.

Elana Stone’s upcoming album Married To The Sound delves into themes of love, motherhood during a pandemic, climate change, and more, all wrapped in a vibrant blend of synth-pop, dreamy guitar, and lush vocal harmonies. Inspired by the likes of Billy Joel, Kate Bush, and Ben Folds Five, Elana brings a fresh indie pop sound with hints of 70s drums and fuzzy bass. After touring with Missy Higgins, Elana is set to hit the road in November 2024 to celebrate the release.
