HANNAH ALDRIDGE:
https://hannahaldridge.com
Hannah Aldridge is an Americana / Folk artist originally from Muscle Shoals, Al.
She is the daughter of the #1 hit songwriter and Alabama Music Hall of Fame inductee, Walt Aldridge, who has written and produced for artists such as Lou Reed, Reba McEntire, and Conway Twitty and has been named songwriter of the year twice by Billboard.
Early in Hannah's writing career, she was recognised for her astounding ability to capture emotion and ability to stun with her sultry vocals. Her songs strike a delicate balance between rebellion and self-discovery.
With a voice equal parts gritty and melodic, Hannah took to the road, entertaining crowds in ten countries and three continents with her acclaimed debut album Razor Wire, superb follow-up Gold Rush and Live in Black and White - a beautifully captured live album recorded in London, England, and her 2023 album release 'Dream of America'.
Her music treads a fine line between the genial charm of Americana, and the raw, hypnotic and occasionally electronic stylings of what some might like to call ‘noir indie pop’.
Deploying a charming blend of power and vulnerability, Aldridge delivers her stories with all the conviction of a church bell ringing out through the streets of a small Alabama town.
KATIE BATES:

Hailing from the vibrant and rich music scene of Melbourne AUS, Katie Bates has a heart steeped in great and spirited American music - from The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Band to Nirvana. But there’s many other things at play in Katie’s music.
With heavy influence of the grunge and grit of artists such as PJ Harvey, Garbage and Audioslave and aims to blend both her love for Americana/alt-country with alt rock and grunge. Music you can both two-step and head bang to.
Bates has had a busy couple of years, most recently opening for Melbourne rockers, Kingswood, on the Victorian leg of their massive ‘Hometowns’ tour, and shortly after for Americana singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell (USA).
When not playing in her own band, she’s a touring bassist in bands such as Ben Mastwyk & his Millions, Catherine Britt, Dan Brodie, Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes, and USA hailing artists Hannah Aldridge and Ben de la Cour - both of whom she has toured the country with multiple times.
“Sultry, intriguing and provocative, with a sound that turns satisfyingly, defiantly snarling, evoking PJ Harvey.” - Sophie Hamley, Sunburnt Country.
