Bathurst-based duo Great Aunt is a collaboration between Megan Bird (mandolin, resonator, acoustic guitar, vocals) and Chelsea Allen (double bass, vocals, percussion). Their music draws inspiration from the traditions of Appalachian folk, bluegrass, and gospel music, with a cheeky nod to the pair’s diverse backgrounds in punk, jazz, soul, and rock. Great Aunt has delighted audiences in Australia and toured extensively in the USA.
