Jessie Monk

DOORS 5:30PM // KITCHEN OPENS 6:30PM // SHOW STARTS 8:30PM

Jessie Monk is a Naarm/Berlin-based avant-folk musician and story-teller, whose ocean-travels swell into waves of song to be washed upon ye’ shores, rich in trinkets and old shells. Joined by fellow feathers - Sophie Fitzpatrick and Patrick Pheasant - the trio play mostly Jessie’s compositions, but also music from the Celtic and Appalachian traditions. Her sound is reminiscent of artists like Joni Mitchell and Sam Amidon, while the song lyrics are inspired by Rilke and Ovid. The trio create an atmosphere of tangible yet experimental folklore and sincerity, enchanting audiences with their joyful and jubilant playing style. 

"Stunning, with the power and prowess of Joni Mitchell"  

            - Nkechi Alene, Triple J

"Heavens opened up and delivered a folk angel in Jessie Monk. A pure delight in every way."

             - Kath Devaney - ABC Country

"Jessie's cut from the same worn vintage cloth as some classy songwriters of yore. Finely detailed, emotionally delivered."

            - Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J

"Whoosh! This is gorgeous Jessie. You wear your influences on your sleeve, but boy howdy do you make it your own. Just beautiful"

            - Zan Rowe, Double J
