ELLA & SIENNA
THEY ARE trailblazing youngins from the Adelaide Hills (aged 15 and 18, respectively) cranking out rivetingly impassioned slivers of sharp and summery folk. Acoustically inclined, the duo’s performance wields a uniquely charged energy: the soundscape’s core is always a dry, cleanly produced strum, fleshed out with crisp and thumping drums, subtle atmospherics and layered lead vocals jam-packed with character even in their most understated moments. Peter Noble, if you’re reading this, get these girls on a Bluesfest lineup ASAP!
THEY’RE FOR FANS OF Kasey Chambers, John Butler, and Missy Higgins.
THEIR LATEST RELEASE IS “Save Your Breath”, an emphatic folk belter written in response to the ruinous bushfires that tore through the country in January of 2020. The sisters are also active on YouTube, where they regularly post live cuts and covers. We recommend checking out their takes on Redgum’s “I Was Only 19” and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”.
