RUN TIMES2:240PM: Have a Good Day
2:55-4PM: Stella Cain plus Choir
STELLA CAIN
Growing up in the tight-knit coastal community of Walyalup (Fremantle), Stella Cain’s musical journey began at age five with vocal training from her grandmother Roddy, a vibrant and theatrical piano teacher who would later become the inspiration for Cain’s debut EP. For Cain, music has never been a choice but rather an intrinsic part of her existence. As life’s complexities grew, she discovered that songwriting served as both a compass and a healing force.
Her debut EP, “RODDY,” named after her grandmother, emerged from a place of profound loss and celebration. Following her grandmother’s passing from Alzheimer’s disease, Cain found herself processing grief through her songwriting, creating a musical tribute that honours not only Roddy’s memory but also explores the intricate connections within her large, musically-inclined family.
The project creates an intimately personal atmosphere through piano and vocals, with added layers of choral arrangements that evoke the warmth of family gatherings. Drawing inspiration from artists like Bonnie Raitt, KD Lang, Anohni, and Carole King, Cain’s music carries the emotional weight of a well-crafted ballad while maintaining an authentic, personal touch.
For this special performance at Fremantle Arts Centre, Cain will be joined on stage by members of the Watkins Street Choir and two additional local choirs run by her Aunty, Anna Wallwork. The collaboration is a powerful extension of the choral elements in RODDY, evoking the communal warmth and connection that define her work.
