About this Event
Hannah Aldridge is back and she’s celebrating the 10 Year Anniversary of her debut album “Razor Wire”, breathing new life into the songs that started her career a decade ago. Performing as an electrifying duo with Katie Bates (who will also open the show).
Hannah grew up on the muddy banks of Muscle Shoals—her birthright is music and Alabama (she’s the daughter of Hall of Fame writer Walt Aldridge). A reckoning between her coming-of-age in the South and a lifetime of trying to create an identity outside of it, her songs strike a delicate balance between rebellion and self-discovery. With a voice equal parts gritty and melodic, Hannah took to the road, entertaining crowds in ten countries and three continents with her acclaimed debut album Razor Wire, superb follow-up Gold Rush and Live in Black and White (recorded in London, UK).
Aldridge expanded her artistic vision with 2023’s ambitious, cinematic Dream of America, which was released on Swedish alternative indie label, Icons Creating Evil Art. It peers through the lens of fading Hollywood starlets, charming psychopaths and weary vagabonds - navigating society’s underbelly through dark, romantic vignettes.
Her music treads a fine line between the genial charm of Americana, and the raw, hypnotic and occasionally electronic stylings of what has been described as ‘noir indie pop’. With an emotional blend of power and vulnerability, Aldridge delivers her stories with all the conviction of a church bell ringing out through the streets of a small Alabama town.

Katie Bates
Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Melbourne AUS, Katie Bates has a heart steeped in classic American music, from The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Band, ranging through the grunge and grit of artists like Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Garbage and Audioslave. Music you can both two-step and head bang to!
When not playing in her own band, she’s a touring bassist in bands including Lachlan Bryan and the Wildes, and Hannah Aldridge (including her 2023 UK tour).
“Sultry, intriguing and provocative, with a sound that turns satisfyingly, defiantly snarling, evoking PJ Harvey.” - Sophie Hamley, Sunburnt Country
