With over 25 years in the industry, Katie Noonan has proved herself as one of Australia’s most hardworking, versatile and prolific artists. Named one of the greatest Australian singers of all time by the Herald Sun, Katie has produced 29 albums throughout her career, with seven times platinum record sales under her belt and 29 ARIA award nominations that span diverse genres. In 2023 Katie was awarded ‘Best Live Voice QLD’ in the National Live Music Awards. 

Speaking on the significance of Jeff Buckley’s Grace, Katie says:

“In 1994, Jeff Buckley’s seminal debut album Grace was released into the world. I was 17 and never had I heard a sound world like this, never had I heard a band that unique and never had I heard a voice that expressive, exploratory and exciting. 

This album is the single biggest influence on my musical journey and was an enormous inspiration for my debut album Polyserena and my 29 subsequent studio albums. 

I was lucky enough to see Jeff live in 1996 and it was honestly a transcendental experience and one of the greatest concerts I will ever see. 

His integrity, unique sound and achingly  honest lyrics have inspired me so deeply, and in the 30th anniversary of the Grace album, I am honoured to present this body of work  with some of my favourite musicians and pay homage to a life changing album and a truly once in a lifetime artist.”

Joining Katie as special guest on all SA, WA, TAS, QLD, ACT and NSW shows (except Albury) is prolific Australian songwriter and author Jack Carty. Making, touring, and releasing original music since 2010, Carty has received a #1 independent album; a Top 40 album; and a loyal, grassroots following built on great songs and a powerful live show. Carty has toured extensively across Australia, The UK, North America, Europe, and New Zealand as well as co-written with the likes of Josh Pyke, Dan Wilson, The Once, and Katie Noonan.  

Joining Katie as special guest on all VIC and Albury shows is Melbourne-based artist Georgia Fields. The singer-songwriter collaborates with Andromeda String Quartet in this evocative, genre-defying show. Performing reimagined arrangements of Georgia’s own songs, along with a couple of surprise covers, the show is a unique collision of worlds: playful art-pop meets ethereal chamber strings. Georgia also integrates live looping with the quartet, creating a dynamic and immersive soundscape that continues to captivate audiences around the country.

With an unmatched vocal range and incredible musicality don’t miss these special shows as Katie Noonan takes her reimagined arrangements of Jeff Buckley’s Grace across Australia for the first time this September-November, with special guests Jack Carty and Georgia Fields.
