A queer, nu-folk singer-songwriter with a voice like complex coffee, Gráinne Hunt is one of Ireland’s most compelling vocalists and songwriters – blending raw emotion, commanding power, and a voice that stops audiences in their tracks. Gráinne’s original work – two solo albums and a new live EP -draws from deeply personal experiences, weaving stories of pain, longing, and joy that have earned her comparisons to Tracy Chapman and Natalie Merchant. Her powerhouse performances have taken her from stages with Glen Hansard and U2, to opening for Gladys Knight and Mary Black. After showcasing at Folk Alliance International 2024, she secured an O-1 visa to cement her presence in the U.S. In 2025, she showcased at Celtic Connections, completed two U.S. tours, and premiered her new show Queer Arrivals at the Liverpool Irish Festival. 2026 began with another Folk Alliance showcase in New Orleans, followed by a tour of Australia including Port Fairy Folk Festival and a return to the U.S.

Jules Stewart, based in Nashville, TN, is an accomplished drummer and vocalist with over 25 years of experience performing with artists including Gráinne Hunt, Lindsay White, and Please Ask for Paul. Known for her dynamic precision and deep musical sensitivity, Jules brings both groove and grace to every collaboration. She’s been featured in DRUM! magazine’s New Blood column, the San Diego Troubadour, and on The Up and Coming Drummer Podcast.

Performing as a duo, the pair create a sound that’s been compared to The Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile – rich harmonies, heartfelt stories, and magnetic onstage chemistry. Together, Gráinne and Jules deliver an intimate yet powerful live experience – soaring harmonies, emotional storytelling, and connection that transcends borders.  Learn more about them at https://grainnehunt.com and https://julesstewartdrums.com.
