TRANS GIG NIGHT

TRANS GIG NIGHT is a night for trans and gender diverse folk to come and put music on a stage! Set in the icon that is DT’s hotel, TRANS GIG NIGHT is a night where being queer is celebrated, trans performers are given a platform and anyone can come along and enjoy some juicy, booty wiggling heart quenching tunes.

This January come on down for the star studded line up that is:

LOCAL SWEETHEART

Local Sweetheart (or Mickey, as their friends call them) is a non-binary, queer, neurodivergent singer-songwriter and poet living in Naarm (Melbourne). Their art aims to give voice to the feelings that we didn’t know we had. With intimate, bittersweet lyrics carried over gentle guitar melodies and dreamy harmonies, Local Sweetheart’s songs will remind you of voice notes from a friend.

JESSE ECHO

Jesse Echo is a non-binary trans-femme singer-songwriter & poet living in Naarm (Melbourne). After a long break away from her musical roots, she’s recently come back to her voice and guitar, blending her roots in indie bands with her love of folk-punk, poetry and storytelling. By writing music from the heart & her own experience, she hopes that she might just resonate a little with others’ experiences as well.
