At 7:30 PM EST, we welcome Great Aunt! Great Aunt is a genre-bending folk duo from Australia, known for their soaring harmonies, dynamic instrumentation, and heart-felt live performances. Our good friend Scott Cook has this to say about them: "I caught Great Aunt down under, and was tickled to hear they're visiting 3rd Street. Their confessional songwriting, tight harmonies, and spacious arrangements on guitar and upright bass won them duo of the year at last year's Australian Folk Awards, and will undoubtedly win them some hearts in Roanoke!"
Winners of the 2024 Folk Alliance Australia Duo of the Year, Great Aunt—comprising Megan Bird (mandolin, resonator, acoustic guitar, vocals) and Chelsea Allen (double bass, vocals, percussion)—craft music that is rooted in folk, bluegrass, and roots traditions, yet refreshingly shaped by their diverse backgrounds in punk, jazz, soul, and rock. With foot-stomping rhythm, bombastic bass drum, and richly textured harmonies, their sound is instantly recognisable and wholly original. Great Aunt write music from the heart: “a personal and shared revival” — joyfully, tenderly, and often with a sly wink. Check them out at
