Jhana Allan (‘You Got The Eyes’ Tour)

Shapeshifting folk-rock artist, once based in Naarm, Melbourne, now based on Awabakal land, Newcastle, Jhana Allan returns to Melbourne in October for a tour celebrating the release of her two singles, ‘You Got The Eyes’ and ‘Angsty at Anstey’. After the release of her predominantly indie-rock album ‘Fake Paradise’ in 2024, Allan’s new single ‘You Got The Eyes’ leans towards a laidback, groove-driven country feel, with mandolin as the driving force. The song has extra significance as it was the first on which Allan started working with her mentor Rachel Baiman. These two singles were produced by Baiman in Nashville with a group of stellar Nashville musicians. At the time Allan was writing ‘You Got The Eyes’, it was 2019 in the middle of the drought on Anewan (New England Region) country. She states “I was living in a small rural town, driving long distances and writing on the drives.” You Got The Eyes started out as a heart-broken country ballad. Working with Rachel Baiman however, resulted in it becoming a song about Allan taking her power back, and ultimately recognising her own worth. “I feel powerful when I sing it. The single artwork is me cos-playing confidence, or maybe even a touch of arrogance. For someone who constantly second-guesses herself, putting on a persona of overconfidence is really therapeutic for me”. Jhana will be playing as a duo with bassist Tim Merrikin and will be supported by special guest Dan Musil. THIS SHOW IS STRICTLY 18+?
