An Evening with Isobel Knight & Andie at Cafe No9
The Spiel
Isobel Knight writes and plays songs where the venn diagram circles of Julia Jacklin and Bruce Springsteen cross over. Her versatile voice and lyricism have carried her soul-influenced alternative folk rock into hearts and charts, with her sophomore “Here Now” debuting at #5 in the independent album charts. She made ‘Here Now’ with Bob Mallory (the killer ears behind Paste Magazine sessions) and grammy-winner Alex de Turk, with string arrangements from The Who’s Katie Jacoby. She’s been called a Metronome Magazine (US) ‘Act To Watch’, a Quadio (US) Artist of The Day, a Record Union Ambassador and has opened for The Little Quirks, Jordan Ireland (frontman of ausfolk legends The Middle East), Fanny Lumsden, Grace Cummings and Lisa Mitchell. 2025 has seen Isobel play Woodford Folk Festival and seven date UK co-headliner tour with Andie amongst others, and record an EP with Aussie blues wunderkind Dingo at Kasey Chambers’ Rabbit Hole Studios, which is due for release in early 2026. Standing at 4ft11 and a half, with steel lungs and an infectious smile, self- taught multi-instrumentalist andie blends old-school jazz melodies, folk-style storytelling and bluesy guitar tones into a warm, lo-fi sound all her own. With millions of listeners worldwide and performances spanning the Sydney Opera House, major folk festivals Woodford + The National Folk and international tours to the UK + US, andie delivers intimate and poignant songs that reframe heartbreak with wit and ferocity. Her upcoming album the eye of the storm arrives February 2026. Together, andie + Isobel Knight have travelled the world together to tour their music. Close friends since age 5, their enduring 24 years of friendship proves impervious and their lust for life contagious. They compliment each other musically, you’ll often catch them joining each other on stage for a song or two. ********************************************************************************** Please note this ticket price DOES include a BYOB fee should you wish to bring alcohol to the venue.
