Sierra Noble, Andrea Kirwin and Claire Evelynn and The Tuckshop Ladies at Valdora House Concert
Event description
Peace Run Records is proud to present this incredible line up of LGBTQIA+ artists for our first Valdora House Concert of 2023 on Friday 22 September. Thanks to our gracious host Kerrie Felsman you are invited to join us for what will be a mini festival of delightful performances from international non binary artist Sierra Noble, Victorian comedic duo The Tuckshop Ladies (Sam and Rosie!) and Sunshine Coast's recently married Andrea Kirwin and Claire Evelynn. Tickets to this show are $40.
You are welcome to join from 5pm to set up on the lawn for a 6pm start with Andrea and Claire performing a set on electric guitar, cigar box guitar, vocals and Celtic Harp. Canadian multi instrumentalist Sierra will then perform and share songs and stories from their journey so far as an artist who has had a big journey through the music industry which has included supporting some of the biggest names in music, and finally The Tuckshop Ladies will bring their ukuleles and all of their wit and charm to close out the evening which will conclude by 9.15pm.
The address will be emailed out to all attendees the day before the event, as it is a private residence we don't put it up publicly. In case of wet weather we will relocate to the local Valdora Hall. Ticket holders will be updated at least 24 hrs in advance. Please BYO chairs or picnic rug and nibbles and drinks and we will see you there!

7pm SIERRA NOBLE
Entering the music industry at a young age can have profound effects on an artist’s personal and professional journey, and Sierra Noble knows this well. The Winnipeg singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, released their first album of traditional Métis fiddle music as a teenager, followed by the well-received Possibilities, and later, City of Ghosts. Over the course of these albums Noble honed their skills as a songwriter while garnering widespread attention, which led them to opening for Paul McCartney, Bon Jovi, and Johnny Reid, and as a featured performer for the 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. Noble’s original music has been included in TV shows such as One Tree Hill, Switched at Birth, and Parenthood, and in films such as CBC’s Humboldt: The New Season, 40 Weeks, and Fostering Hope. Sierra is embarking on their first tour of Australia with Peace Run Records and will be performing at Caloundra Music Festival as well as select venues and house concerts in September.
