A touch of Irish at Archies Creek
Irish Mythen will step in for close friend and fellow songwriter Grace Petrie at a series of Victorian shows this March and April
Internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning Irish-born Canadian artist Irish Mythen will step in for close friend and fellow songwriter Grace Petrie at a series of Victorian shows this March and April, following Petrie's postponement due to a family bereavement.
This includes a show at Archies Creek Hotel on March 29.
Joining Mythen as special guest is acclaimed songwriter Emily Ulman
A JUNO Award nominee and winner of multiple Canadian Folk Music and East Coast Music Awards, Irish Mythen is widely regarded as one of the most formidable live performers on the international roots circuit.
From Glastonbury Festival to the Sydney Opera House, Mythen has built a global following through relentless touring and performances that balance warmth, wit and extraordinary vocal power.
Their breakthrough album Little Bones earned a 2020 JUNO nomination for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year and won Solo Artist of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
The record further cemented Mythen's reputation as a fearless songwriter, unafraid to tackle complex histories and social themes while forging deep connections with audiences.
Emily Ulman is an artist, storyteller, and industry powerhouse. For over two decades, she's been a defining voice in Australian music, both on stage and behind the scenes.
Known for her raw, evocative songwriting and ability to craft melodies that embed, Emily's music blurs the lines between indie rock, folk and pop, always landing with emotional weight and she released her album “Severe Clear” late last year.
Speaking about stepping into the tour, Mythen said their thoughts were with Grace as she navigates such a difficult time.
"It's my absolute honour to step in for her on these Australian dates.
There's only one Grace Petrie – but I promise I'll give my all to have you laughing, crying, waving angry fists at the establishment and everything in between.
My shows are about the crowd first and foremost, so I think we'll be just fine together."
Irish Mythen's extended Australian visit offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience one of the global folk scene's most compelling live artists at close range.
