Venturing out from the secret laden walls of the sisters’ secluded home, this strange and endearing trio is an experience not to be missed. With stories of their misfit adventures paired with famous songs gleaned from the old wireless at home, these three eccentric sisters are set to serve up a real treat. From Abba to Daft Punk, Sia to Steppenwolf, Pink to Pink Floyd, get ready to hear well-known tunes like you’ve never heard them before! With their peculiar spin on popular songs played on an eclectic mix of instruments including musical saw, tuba, old reed keyboard, and kitchen pots, these oddball Queensland Sisters will leave you wanting more.

Lady Sings The Blues is a story about women in song; their hurts, struggles and pain; and the transformation of that pain into music.
Featuring the songs of the greats like Billie Holiday, Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald; along with the modern day voices of Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Beyonce and more. You will be transported to a speakeasy in New York and into the very heart of the star of our show, Prinnie Stevens, and her experience living as a Woman of Colour.
We first met Prinnie on Season One of The Voice where she battled best friend Mahalia Barnes. Prinnie has gone on to have a hugely successful career touring Australia’s major venues and in Musical Theatre, starring in shows The Bodyguard, HAIR and Thriller LIVE on the West End.
