A night of live music with singer-songwriters Sophie Jones, Amy Vee and Anna Weatherup, paying tribute to the indie, folk and acoustic women artists of the 1980s and 1990s.
Sophie Jones, Amy Vee and Anna Weatherup are performing together as Fade Into You at Flamingos Live on Sunday 13 September, starting at 14:00. It's a tribute to the indie, folk and acoustic women artists of the 1980s and 1990s who defined a generation — names like Ani DiFranco, Suzanne Vega, Alanis Morissette and Jewel. If those names ring a bell, you've got a good idea of the ground they're covering.
The three of them come from different corners of the scene. Sophie Jones is known for her soaring, soulful vocals. Anna Weatherup first won hearts on The Voice Australia. Amy Vee is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist whose work sits between indie folk and ambient dream pop, and who's been acclaimed for her spellbinding live performances. Bringing them together on one stage gives the set a bit of range, with three distinct voices taking turns on the songs.
Because it's a tribute, the focus is on the songwriters rather than any one artist's own material. The 80s and 90s were a particular era for the singer-songwriter format — the kind of music that worked as well in a small room as it did on a record, and Fade Into You keeps that in mind. You'll hear the folk-leaning side of things alongside the more indie-rock edges that artists like Alanis Morissette brought to the fore.
