stringmansassy (Eudlo)

After a decade away from the spotlight, stringmansassy are back, ready to reconnect with audiences and share the music that made them one of Australia’s most cherished duos. Guitarist Aaron Hopper and vocalist Kacey Patrick are known for their inventive musicianship, dynamic interplay and heartfelt performances.

Forming their partnership in 1996, they quickly became known as stringmansassy, touring extensively across Australia and internationally from 2000 to 2014. Their unmistakable chemistry, inventive approach and deep musical intuition captivated audiences wherever they performed. Now, after a ten-year hiatus, the duo return to the stage for a much-anticipated tour, welcomed by fans eager to experience their artistry once again.

Renowned for their sophisticated musicianship, Aaron and Kacey transcend the traditions of jazz and folk, crafting music often described as spellbinding, enthralling and deeply expressive. As critic Andrew MacLean noted, “Even the laws of physics are subject to subtle manipulation in stringmansassy’s world.”

Their four independent releases: Persuasion (2000), Beautiful Day (2003), Dragonfly (2004) and The Live Experience 2000–2008 (2008), earned national acclaim, with Dragonfly reaching No. 1 on the AIR Jazz Charts and Beautiful Day receiving widespread ABC airplay.
