Newly minted Nova Castrian Jhana Allan launches her brand new single 'You Got The Eyes' which she recorded in Nashville in 2023. After the release of her predominantly indie-rock album ‘Fake Paradise’ in 2024, Allan’s new single ‘You Got The Eyes’ leans towards a laidback, groove-driven country feel. Built around a central mandolin groove, the country ballad gently expands, steadily gathering texture and a warm, melodic folk-pop lift beneath Allan’s honeyed vocals. Her voice carries the weariness of someone who knows better but still can’t resist the pull.
The song has extra significance as it was the first on which Allan started working with her mentor Rachel Baiman. These two singles were produced by Baiman in Nashville with a group of stellar musicians. For this special show, Jhana will be joined by chameleon-like bassist Tim Merrikin and internationally lauded jazz guitarist Adam Miller (!)
Cat Mead is an Australian folkish singer-songwriter who loves to craft songs that draw you in with her honest lyrical story-telling, clear vocals and subtle humour.
After dabbling for years, Cat packed up her life in 2025 to go and play music in the UK. This lead to the release of her debut album ' Wanderers Lust' in 2026, which was recorded in the West Midlands with producer, Daniel Barrie.
With relatable songs filled with longing, need, joy, grief and rage she'll make you feel human again, and without a cliche in sight she won't beat around the bush in saying what she really means.
With influences like Nick Drake, Adrianne Lenker, The Corrs, Laura Marling, Josh Pyke and Garbage, it's music for those who feel deeply and who aren't afraid to show it.
