With special guests Hana Stretton and Ruby Gill
Formed in the Catskill Mountains of New York, indie folk darlings Florist bring their transcendental, emotive performance to Sydney, celebrating the release of their album Jellywish.
Florist is the musical project of songwriter Emily Sprague, whose work drifts between the deeply personal and the cosmic, the everyday and the supernatural. Across four full-length albums and numerous collaborations, Sprague has cultivated a body of songs that reflect on memory, change, and the unseen connections that bind people to each other and to the natural world.
The songs of Florist are built around Sprague’s voice and guitar, intimate in tone but expansive in vision. Sometimes that world is quiet and solitary, as heard on the self-reflective Emily Alone. Other times it blooms into something vivid and collaborative, as on the technicolour dreamscape of Jellywish. Whether sparse or full, acoustic or electric, Florist’s music holds a constant sense of wonder and presence - a reminder that love, loss, and transformation are all part of the same shared fabric.
On stage, Florist takes many forms, but at its centre is Sprague’s songwriting: delicate, searching, and magnetic. Her songs offer listeners an invitation - to sit inside life’s mysteries, to hold joy and grief at once, and to believe in the quiet magic of existence.
Don’t miss the chance to experience this moving, intimate live show.
Joining Florist are special guests Hana Stretton and Ruby Gill
Hana Stretton
Hana Stretton is an Australian-British multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer. Raised on a remote farm in New South Wales, the natural beauty and isolation of her upbringing deeply shape her music. Her debut album, Soon, was recorded in solitude after wildfires and storms swept through her home in the Australian bush. Self-released in January 2023, the album saw a vinyl run via boutique label 'brierfield flood press', selling out quickly, her work praised as 'the deep flourishing sound of a quiet listening mind in full blossom.'
Ruby Gill
If anyone can silence a room, it’s Joburg-born, Naarm-based musician Ruby Gill, whose arresting lyricism, honesty and deadpan wit have already garnered millions of streams, awards and radio play from triple j, to BBC and KCRW. Ruby’s 'melancholic lyrical wizardry' has earned her the reputation of being unmissable, with her Australian Music Prize-nominated debut record ‘I’m gonna die with this frown on my face’ landing at #5 on the AIR Independent Album charts and met with Sunday Times coveted “Breaking Act” accolade and worldwide acclaim in September 2022.
