Melbourne's Gena Rose Bruce and Juice Webster will join forces to bring their vocally driven, emotionally charged, alt-folk/rock songs to Victorian fans.

They'll be playing a series of intimate solo shows, performing works from their acclaimed releases - Gena's debut album Can't Make You Love Me and Juice's sophomore EP More Than Reaction - and sharing some new songs for the first time.

Can’t Make You Love Me is an intoxicating ride through love, lust, surrender and revival - a distinct and dynamic debut from a young artist with a clear vision. Gena’s vocals drive this album; a stirring force amidst the pulsing rhythms, echoes of Mazzy Star and Lynchian undertones. A vibrant youthfulness and deep maturity underpins her writing, allowing songs to swing effortlessly between earnest introspection and cool detachment with utter sincerity. With it’s infectious melodies and biting lyricism, Can’t Make You Love Me is as playful as it is confessional.

Often found curled up with her guitar in bed, on the couch or in any other comfortable space within her home, Juice Webster writes from a place that seeks to find meaning in the world around her. Juice’s songwriting holds an affecting quality, maturity and depth which delivers wisdom beyond her years; a sound that is uniquely hers. Her lyrics linger, her harmonies hold weight and the moods she casts through the moments she recounts permeate their way through the very core of its listener.
