Establishing herself on the Australian festival scene, Sunshine Coast songstress, Innessa, has found her niche infusing alternative folk with Eastern-European influences.
Publishing her first poem in her native Russian at 12 years old, Innessa’s way with words has more recently earned her a finalist spot in the 2024, 2023 and 2017 Queensland Music Awards, seen her release four studio albums, and perform at some of Australia’s biggest folk festivals including Woodford Folk Festival, Canberra Folk Festival, and venues in Russia.
The concert will be preceded by a free (for concert attendees) one-hour singing workshop (5.30-6.30pm) – the delight of learning the English version of a traditional Slavic Folk Song “Golden Wreath” from Innessa’s latest album.
