Jive @ The Hive with this amazing lineup of Women taking a stand for International Women’s Day! Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias. They will be bringing an evening of Jazz & Blues – Grunge Rock – Country/Americana in the glorious backyard setting of the Queanbeyan Hive.
Singer/songwriters/musicians Ali Penney and Dorothy-Jane, come together as Divine Devilles. Two well-travelled souls, each with a swag of awards, a suitcase full of songs, hearts on their sleeves and a love of that sweet, swinging, shuffling, grooving place where Blues and Jazz meet.
Matriarch is a grunge rock band with a bit of a twist – four ‘mature’ women over the age of 50 who write and play loud, original and sometimes political music. Hey, by the time you’ve reached your sixth decade on the planet you’ve got a bit of stuff to get off your chest! Culprits are Lorena Quinlivan on vocals/guitar, Glenda Harvey on guitar/vocals, Lee Grunwald on bass and Leanne Thompson on drums.
Bridget Croft and Jenny Spear hail from the Canberra and southern NSW region of Australia as a duo called ‘What She’s Having’. Enamoured with old school country and 70’s rock, the duo is heavily influenced by the lyrical songwriting of Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Townes Van Zandt.
