CHARLOTTE LE LIEVRE

Newcastle songwriter and multi‑instrumentalist Jono B Smith blends soulful storytelling with cheeky, irreverent humour, earning him a cult following on the Australian touring circuit. A sought‑after session player, he’s performed with artists including Kasey Chambers, Morgan Evans and Jenny Mitchell, and tours nationally with bluegrass/folk outfit Midnight Chicken. This winter marks his debut solo tour, celebrating a new EP and showcasing the surreal banter and razor‑sharp songwriting that have made him a hometown favourite.

Charlotte Le Lievre writes country songs that cut deep — honest, raw, and grounded in real life. With a voice that’s equal parts vulnerable and commanding, her music pulls from early country and folk traditions to make sense of grief, joy, resistance, and the stories we carry.

Join Charlotte for two intimate duo sets, journeying through her older releases as well as new songs from her forthcoming sophomore record Grief Knows No Borders, slated for release in early 2027.

2-4pm. Free entry.
