Jhana Allan
Uralla-based singer-songwriter Jhana Allan celebrates the release of her sophomore album,‘Fake Paradise'. Themes of desire, addiction, and awareness of the artist’s own need for prioritising rest, forms the backdrop of this shape-shifting release. The album was recorded in Nashville in 2023, produced by Americana artist Rachel Baiman, and engineered by Sean Sullivan (Molly Tuttle, Margo Price, Tyler Childers).
Drawing inspiration from musicians like The Weather Station, Sam Amidon, PJ Harvey, and Lucie Thorne, the album moves through folk, jazz, and rock soundscapes, retaining a throughline of Allan’s visceral and emotive writing and singing, and grounded by her layered vocal presence.
Allan's distinctive cross-picking mandolin style, jazzy fiddle chops and stunning piano ballads provide a rich backdrop for her storytelling.
Her first time performing at the Stone Pony, Allan will be joined by Adelaide's own Tom Kneebone on guitars, creating a lush and intimate duo sound.

Stiff Gins 'Crossroads' album launch with special guest Kyarna
Stiff Gins, featuring Wiradjuri/Yorta Yorta woman Kaleena Briggs and Yuwaalaraay woman Nardi Simpson, form a powerful musical duo.
Their fourth studio album "Crossroads" marks the 25-year career point for Australia's longest-performing all-female First Nations band. It also reaffirms the band's status as Matriarchal pioneers in the Australian Blak music scene. Produced by Syd Green (Casey Chambers, 19Twenty) “Crossroads” combines Stiff Gins signature blend of folk, roots, and First Nations language and culture with newfound depths of lyrical storytelling, intricate harmony and rich layers of instrumentation. The result is a sonic landscape resonating with both introspection and resilience, all forged against a political backdrop that advocates for increased representation and recognition of First Nations people in Australia.
