Event description
RUBY ARCHER “OH SO TENDER DELUXE” ALBUM LAUNCH With support MIA PETRA
Presented at the FunHaus Factory in Gosford on Sunday the 15th of December
Ruby Archer’s new album release, Oh So Tender Deluxe, will launch on December 15 with a celebratory performance at the FunHaus, along with good friends Mia Petra. Oh So Tender Deluxe is a love letter to its precursor, with some extra tracks that have a similar feel and come from the same era. The album originally centred around the urban/industrial vibe of parts of the Central Coast and drew from Ruby’s teenage experiences in those places. The new songs explore the more beautiful parts of those places and that era, rather than the grimy parts. The new tracks will mark the end of a beloved era which was painful and beautiful but must now come to an end.

MIA PETRA
Expressive, lilting and powerful. Mia Petra has a varied sound that is entirely fresh, new and pleasantly uncompromised. Blending the lines between contemporary folk, electro-acoustic, soul and jazz. Mia Petra is a song maker and producer based in Muloobinba/Newcastle whose unwavering genre-fluidity conjures a playful space that is both nuanced and refreshing. Her sound is best described as lush, donning harmonically dense vocal arrangements, and underlined by an expanding electro-acoustic bed of sound. After 5 years of captivating audiences nationwide, and a recent successful inaugural tour along the southeast coast of Australia, Mia is currently working on her debut 10 - track self-produced album set to release in early 2025. |
