Live from Ireland - singer songwriter Gráinne Hunt, with Jules Stewart on drums and vocals

Doors 3pm, show begins at 4pm

Irish singer-songwriter Gráinne Hunt and San Diego drummer/vocalist Jules Stewart form a bi-continental queer folk duo known for their rich harmonies, emotional depth, and captivating onstage chemistry. Hunt’s voice - described as “complex coffee” and earning her comparisons to Tracy Chapman, Natalie Merchant, and even “The Irish Joni” - brings raw honesty and power to her songwriting. Stewart’s dynamic precision, sensitivity, and 25 years of drumming experience provide the perfect rhythmic and vocal counterpart, creating a sound often likened to the Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile.

Together, they blend heartfelt storytelling with a fresh yet nostalgic folk energy that resonates deeply with audiences. Their 2025 highlights include multiple U.S. tours and performances across the U.K, and the premiere of Hunt’s new show Queer Arrivals at the Liverpool Irish Festival. Praised for their warmth, connection, and top-tier musicianship, Gráinne and Jules deliver intimate, uplifting performances that leave listeners feeling held, inspired, and part of something shared.
