Fremantle resident, Bigsound highlight and inaugural winner of the Levis Music Prize Stella Donnelly is excited to announce a string of headline dates to round out an incredible 2017.
The tour will take in intimate venues in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Donnelly will also stop by Adelaide (for the boutique festival Porchland), Wollongong to support San Cisco, and was recently announced on Fairgrounds Festival.
At the beginning of 2017 Donnelly released her debut EP Thrush Metal and received critical acclaim and radio support from community radio and triple j. The five-track release (including the brilliant ‘Mechanical Bull’ and wrenching ‘Boys Will Be Boys’) was written over the space of two years; a musical undertaking resulting in a bold and unapologetic repertoire of songs which has propelled Donnelly to the forefront of the new guard of Australian songwriters.
Soon, Donnelly will head out on her first international journey, playing at The First Fifty (a pre-cursor event for The Great Escape) and next year’s SXSW Conference.
