Femme Jazz Sessions: Sue Ray & Little Mel be Swingin' at the Cave Inn

Two powerhouse QLD vocalists. One unforgettable Blue Note-inspired night of smoky jazz, blues, and femme energy.

Join Sue Ray—proud Gamilaraay woman and genre-defying singer-songwriter—and Mel Lathouras (aka Little Mel)—jazz belter-in-chief, funny woman, and founder of Femme Jazz—for a sultry, soul-stirring double bill packed with lush vocals, honest storytelling, and serious groove.

🎶 Backed by a dream band:

🎹 Peta Wilson – keys
🎸 Dave McGuire – guitar
🎻 Casey Glennen – double bass
🥁 Katie Randall – drums

🎤 About Sue Ray

Sue Ray is celebrated for her deeply authentic country/blues sound, honey-smoked vocals, and dynamic live shows. A three-time QMusic Award winner and crowd favourite at festivals like Woodford, Groundwater and BIGSOUND, Sue criss-crosses genres with ease—from alt-country to roots to jazz. Her voice lingers long after the last note, and her stage presence is pure fire.

🎤 About Little Mel (Mel Lathouras)

With a voice that’s equal parts powerhouse and heart hug, Mel is a dynamic soul-jazz vocalist and performer, known for her bold stage presence and big-hearted storytelling. When she’s not singing up a storm as Little Mel or one half of Girl From Greece, she’s mentoring singers across the country through her coaching platform, Fearless Singer.

Expect reimagined jazz classics, swampy soul, blues—and a whole lot of femme-powered music.
