Festival of Small Halls Comes Back to the Cassowary Coast this July

Back

After much success during its Summer Tour last November, the Festival of Small Halls presented by Woodfordia Inc. is coming back to the Cassowary Coast on Sunday 7 July for its Winter Tour.

The folk music tour features Canadian band Quote the Raven and Aussie Singer, Hailey Calvert who will play alongside our very own local talent Ash Binello.

Set to captivate the audience, Jordan Coaker and Kirsten Rodden-Clarke who make up the award-winning band Quote The Raven seamlessly merge American-Folk Music with East Coast storytelling, sharing tales about a small town band experiencing the world.

“We are so excited to be returning to Australia so quickly after our debut in your beautiful country this past summer at the Port Fairy Folk Festival. We thought it would be at least another year before we had the chance to come back. We've performed at Small Halls here in Canada several times, so we can't wait to do it in Australia!”

Folk singer Hailey Calvert has spent the last few years building a following as a solo artist both in Australia and internationally. She has developed her unique sound described as ‘honest, thoughtful songwriting with vintage soul vocals’.

“I'm so excited to get to perform for lovely audiences in little towns you usually might not get to stop in on tour. Every time I drive through a small town I see the most amazing potential venues and am thrilled to get to play in them this time!”

This is an event not to be missed – book your tickets now by visiting festivalofsmallhalls.com  and selecting Innisfail.

This event is jointly funded by the Regional Arts Development Fund and Cassowary Coast Regional Council.
