Join Áine Tyrrell on her People Like Me and You Tour, a testament to resilience and hope born out of her own remarkable journey from the West Coast of Ireland to the East Coast of Australia. Escaping a decade of domestic violence with her three children, Áine redefined her narrative from victimhood to triumph to find healing and beauty amidst adversity forging her own path on these red dust roads in her 1966 Bedford Bus.

Now, her latest single aims to create a community focused on prevention through to recovery, spreading a message of resilience and empowerment. From playing at Splendour In The Grass to standing on stage, Áine's story inspires us to thrive despite hardships, reminding us that if she can, so can we.

“The inspiration for this song hit as the gravity of the moment taking to the much coveted Splendour In The Grass stage. I experienced a sea of emotions, thinkinh of what I had battled to get here, gratitude for the audiences experience with the songs I was singing, and awe of seeing People just like me who had been through so much rising to the music” – Áine

With new music and art, Áine invites you to be part of this transformative journey, forging change and raising awareness step by step. Her live show poignantly delivers a moving set relevant to our times that journey us through three epochs from Truth, Healing and Rising giving the audience a diverse palate of feelings as the music genres she so seamlessly blends.

“After a long 4.5 years in-between albums, so much has happened in my life and the world, and I am bursting at the seams, excited to release new music and art that came from this pivotal time - finally! Ye are all used to me forging my own path, and this album is no exception. It's a testament to my integrity, power, hope and love. We're not just releasing music; we're shifting things, making change, once step at a time. We're on a mission to raise awareness, having fun while we do it.

And we want you there with us!”

Join her as she rebels against being just another statistic, creating space for stories like hers, and spreading a message of hope to all who have faced adversity.

Jen Cloher (Ngāpuhi & Ngāti Kahu) is a song-writer and performer living on unceded Wurundjeri land in Naarm (Melbourne). Cloher’s taut, terse brand of rock is charged with the static tension that comes with being an eternal misfit; they have spoken truth to power with the shrewd eye that only an outsider can possess. Admirers have naturally gravitated towards Cloher’s incisive, generous songwriting. Over the course of five albums, Cloher has won a J Award and an AIR Award and been nominated for an ARIA and the Australian Music Prize.

I Am The River, The River Is Me, Cloher’s fifth album, is verdant and rich; it luxuriates in stillness, and carries itself with cool, unfussy confidence. It suggests that home is not found in a place or a politic, but in the community you keep: Inspired by Cloher’s powerful matrilineal line of wāhine Māori, I Am The River, The River Is Me is not urgent, or hurried, but it is vital, made with the care and ease of someone who knows that their past began before birth, and will continue long after they’re gone.
