Essie Thomas - Kate B - Holly 'Cookie' Baker @ Cave Inn

Essie Thomas, Kate B and Holly 'Cookie' Baker share the stage for this powerhouse triple bill. 2pm til 5pm Essie Thomas A genre-blurring Australian artist whose music explores vulnerability with poetic grace. Rooted in indie folk, their sound spans minimal acoustic arrangements to lush, layered productions. Known for her evocative live performances and storytelling lyrics, Essie has steadily carved out a loyal following in the U.S. and abroad. After almost a decade in the USA, Essie returns home to celebrate the release of All the Ways - a five-track journey through vulnerability, desire, and resilience, with Essie leaning into their rural Australian roots while subtly weaving in textures of American alt-pop and cinematic strings. Kate B A singer for as long as she can remember, Kate has done everything musical short of playing in an orchestra! From blues to folk, festival stages, retreats & community choirs, she creates music that touches the soul and uplifts the heart, always with the invitation to join in! With Celtic Harp, Guitar & Ukulele, you find words of peace, love & joy that float in melodious contemplation, songs to uplift the heart, to be still amongst and songs to slow dance. Seek rest for your soul no more; it is here. Holly ‘Cookie’ Baker Raised on a farm by the seaside in rural South Australia, Holly ‘Cookie’ Baker’s trademark sparkling vocals and the poetic grit of her cool wordsmithery paint a portrait of this pint-sized melodic force to be reckoned with. Now based on Kaurna Yerta (Adelaide, South Australia), Cookie creates lyrically rich alternative country folk and dreamy pop that is all at once breathtakingly intimate, dynamic and compelling. In 2025, Cookie embarked on the extensive Where Do You Go In The Winter? tour throughout New Zealand and Australia, culminating in her first release in five years - the enthralling single, The Winter - featuring Ollie English. She will release two back-to-back singles during the course of her 2026 spring tour - "I hate to see you go... so I'll go." - from October to December, taking in regional and metro stops in unique spaces throughout SA, VIC, NSW and QLD.
