Grace Barbé with Iain Grandage

Grace Barbé is a force of nature. A creative musician of the highest order who brings joy and energy to audiences across the globe.

Born in the Seychelles, her music draws on the rich Kreol tradions of those Indian Ocean islands, driven by her polyrhythmic bass lines and extraordinary voice. She’s played Festivals in Africa, India and across Australia, and received multiple awards for her music. Much of her time currently involves playing, writing and singing in the adored Australian band The Cat Empire.

For this special intimate performance, she is joined by long-time collaborator guitarist Jamie Searle, and local string players Julian Ferraretto and Steve King.

It’s a thrill to have the opportunity to make music alongside one of Australia’s musical treasures.
