Mary and the Little Lambs with Alice Isabella and SAOIRSE
Mary and the Little Lambs are bringing their bossa, groove-based jazz to The Tote! We want to make you dance and move to a set of songs that range from breezy bossa to intense, thrilling sounds. It'll be an exciting night, and you'll never know what is coming next, so get keen and come on down!
Joining us will be Alice Isabella, an emerging indie-pop singer-songwriter from Melbourne, Australia. Together with her band, they blend acoustic elements with honest, emotionally driven storytelling. Her sound moves between themes of love, identity, nostalgia, and adventure, delivered through intimate songwriting and dynamic pop arrangements that resonate beyond the final chord. SAOIRSE is an indie/folk artist from Ireland, based in Naarm. 'Saoirse' means 'freedom' in Gaelic, which is encapsulated in playful and transparent writing that encompasses her vocal spontaneity with her 4-piece band. SAOIRSE released her debut EP 'Sonder,' which is a heartfelt collection of songs that offer a glimpse into her thoughts and emotions. SAOIRSE's music transcends genres, creating a distinct blend of folk and jazz that speaks to the soul.
All in all, it'll be an amazing night, and we hope to see you there! Doors are at 7:30 pm and the ticket link is down below.
