Songbirds Genevieve Chadwick and Fay Blaise join together for a national tour this summer that’s certain to set hearts aflutter with their sweet sounds…

When award-winning Canadian folk darling Faye Blais starts to sing the chambers of your heart will be set aflame. Her voice is like a songbird reflecting the sun on a Canadian lake and her lyrics contain the thoughtfulness from an old soul that still yearns to learn. Blais is known to set her crowds alight with her fiery soul and fast wit. She is endearing and wears her heart on her sleeve. Many punters say they just want to hang out with her all night because her energy is simply beautiful.

Blais has an impressive folk style on acoustic guitar and is endorsed by Australia’s Cole Clark Guitars. She is described as “Young, edgy, and powerfully present,… continuing the thread started by Joni, picked up by Ani and fashioned by Feist.”- Eaglewood Folk Festival, Canada

Touring the globe extensively, including the U.S, Canada, Taiwan and Australia, Blais has also played many festivals here and abroad. She has shared bills with our own Rosie Burgess Trio, Owl Eyes, Gossling and more. This year Blais is touring Australia to promote her exquisite release “On the Bright Side”.

Blues/roots sensation Genevieve Chadwick adds fuel to the fire with outstanding guitar work, smoky vocals and expressive originals full of honesty.

Extensive touring and a reputation for giving it all have earned Chadwick a loyal following and supports for Mia Dyson, Ash Grunwald and Tim Rogers.

She has captivated audiences at Woodford Folk Festival, Sydney Blues Festival, Blue Mountains Music Festival, Backwater Blues & Roots Festival, Blues on Broadbeach and many more. Her debut album Riding The Wind Forgetting Time has been a major seller for an unsigned independent act. Chadwick likes to joke on stage that sales help her fuel the van for the next show and is not shy about asking punters in remote regions if they can share their bathroom. “Life on the road is awesome but there’s nothing like someone’s homely shower” she laughs.

Chadwick stands out from the crowd and has the rare ability to captivate all in her presence with cleverly written songs, catchy melodies and contagious charisma. Her exceptional talent has lit up audiences and critics alike “She’s the talent of John Butler, with the soul of Janis Joplin. A force truly to be reckoned with”

This is one summer gig you won’t want to miss. Expect to walk away feeling full of passion and energy after these soulful ladies light your fire.
