Sound Sorcery - jazz magick for all genders, colour & abilities

The Sound Sorcery Team (supported by Creative Australia, City of Sydney, and Heaps Normal)

are proud to present:

*Sound Sorcery 2025* @ The Bearded Tit, Redfern

(a women and trans-led project of 8 x fortnightly jams at The Bearded Tit starting January 2025).

Do you travel in a body that is continuously silenced, excluded, and overlooked in live music spaces?

Jazz bores slowing your broom down?

Is the spice you bring to a witch's brew too strong for the patriarchal palette?

Does music always have to be stripped of its magick in order to be consumable?

To break the hex we’re starting at the place where voices can be heard for the first time, and connections can be conjured: The Jam.

We’re brewing up a concoction with the following ingredients:

killer house band of women and gender diverse mofos
featured artists from diverse backgrounds
Wheelchair accessible queer venue
Vibes, vibes, vibes

Instead of stifling your vulnerability, squandering confidence, and indulging in toxic competition, why not help us co-create a space where we celebrate each other's uniqueness.
