Kate Miller-Heidke, fresh from a 55-date tour of regional Australia in 2024, announces THE TELLING TALES TOUR of capital cities and select theatres in February-March 2025.
Kate Miller-Heidke is an award-winning singer-songwriter who traverses the worlds of pop, folk, opera and musical theatre. She’s performed on stages as varied as Coachella, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, the New York Metropolitan Opera, the Eurovision Song Contest, the Sydney Opera House, the Roebuck Bay Hotel in Broome, and TV’s The Voice.
She is also a born storyteller. Her music is influenced by the narrative traditions of folk, the drama of opera, and the great singer-songwriters of pop. She weaves tales of humour and pain, intimacy and grandeur, joy and regret, childhood and ghosts. The last day of school, and the last day on earth. Where joy is zero gravity, and love is like vertigo. With characters who expand within us to live beyond the confines of their four minutes – James being bullied in the school yard. Sarah’s gone missing from the festival. Muriel is just finding out she’s amazing.
Behind them all is Kate… and Kate is telling tales. (Some of them might even be true.) Reaching out to connect with the audience, with songs and stories borne out of the many worlds and many disciplines she has travelled. Sung in a voice like no other.
The Telling Tales Tour will be a celebration of songs old and brand new, of voice, storytelling, emotion, humour, and music that transports and transcends. Of discovering anew each night the transformative connection between the performer and the audience.
Don’t miss this special opportunity to see Kate in an intimate, exposed, and revealing performance, accompanied by her long-term collaborator Keir Nuttall on guitar.
“Exceptional!Kate Miller-Heidke is an amazing talent. Ninety minutes of sparkle and shine, featuring songs from her five studio albums, original musicals, a couple of covers for good measure, and the stories behind the songs.” – Hi Fi Way
“Songs of introspection, self-admission and defiance. Many take us to dark places of personal regret and remorse, but others punch skywards with iron-fisted resolve. A lifetime of experiences squeezed into one scintillating show… not to be missed.” – InReview
“A vibrant celebration of music, storytelling, emotion, and humour—an immersive experience that forged a deep connection between the artist and the audience.” – Forte Magazine
Special guest Elana Stone will be joining Kate at all shows (except WA)
Elana Stone is an ARIA award-winning singer, songwriter, pianist, accordionist, podcast maker, and writer of one musical. A member of acclaimed folk quartet All Our Exes Live In Texas, her new solo album ‘Married To The Mob’ will be released on 27 September, and features songs on a wide range of themes such as finding love, motherhood against the backdrop of a worldwide pandemic, climate change, social/political polarisation, friendship, love, loss, and lockdown – all served on a crispy bed of synth pop, hazy guitar and to-die-for vocal harmonies, with a side of 70’s drums and in-your-face fuzz bass.
Her latest single ‘Cephalopods’ is out now.
