Jhana Allan and Pirritu (Brett Lee)- Darkest Night Album Launch!

  • McCrossin's Mill Museum Salisbury Street Uralla, NSW, 2358 Australia (map)

In Feb 2017, I recorded my first ever album in Trentham, Victoria. All songs were written and recorded on Wurundjeri and Dja Dja Wurrung country. They grew from my experiences trying to make a living as a musician in Melbourne, and of loves and losses during that time. Running through the album is a yearning for the stark, arid and beautiful countryside I grew up in. I am so excited to be finally launching this album at McCrossins Mill in Uralla, a sentimental place for me on many levels. I'm also thrilled to announce that I'll be supported by the wonderful Pirritu (Brett Lee) a new friend from Narrm (Melb).

Ngiyampaa man Pirritu’s (Brett Lee) music is gentle, intricate and highly melodic with beautifully framed chords overlaid with a story of sadness and hope. With his layback and structured approach to music, Brett's story telling matched with the natural and earthy tone of his voice makes you feel like a Rainbow Lorikeet in a Wattle Tree. His sound comes from listening to folk and acoustic surf music with hints of country hidden between the lines. His writing is honest and personal and set against a sound scape that goes from sunny and toe tapping to a rainy sadness felt by a lonely lover on a Sunday. His music often celebrates the love he has for his family and the people close to him.

Hope to see you there!
Much love, Jhana
