Tassie's own folk-pop storyteller and genre-bending duo
Festival of Voices and the Youth Arts and Recreation Centre (YARC) proudly present an evening of emerging Tasmanian talent, featuring folk-pop storyteller Mia Barron and genre-bending duo Isle Two.
Mia Barron brings her calm, heartfelt songwriting to the stage, weaving personal stories with a gentle folk-pop sound. Influenced by artists such as Gracie Abrams, Searows and Noah Kahan, her music captures moments of change, connection and vulnerability. After releasing her debut EP Pages Unfolding in 2024, Mia is preparing to launch Faded Annotations in May 2026, marking an exciting new chapter in her work.
Sharing the bill is Isle Two, an uncompromisingly original duo emerging from Tasmania's southern shores. Joe Vere and Jasper Szypura create a bold, evolving sound shaped by a wide mix of influences. Their debut single Penny questions whether the idea of a "perfect person" can ever exist, offering an intriguing first glimpse into a project grounded in curiosity and creative fearlessness. With more music on the way, Isle Two are steadily building momentum.
This special collaboration highlights two distinct voices from Tasmania's next generation of artists. It's an intimate, inspiring night for anyone who enjoys fresh songwriting, thoughtful storytelling and the thrill of discovering new music.
