A unique event offering a mix of storytelling, discussion and song writing by three of Australia's finest disabled musicians performing together on stage - Eliza Hull, Rudely Interrupted and BATTS.
What is it like to be a musician with disability? What are the barriers, and how does disability shape and influence each artist's music?
These are some of the questions that will be answered in this unique event, a mix of storytelling, discussion and song writing by three of Australia’s finest disabled musicians performing together on stage - Eliza Hull, Rudely Interrupted and BATTS.
Each artist will join Eliza Hull to discuss the barriers that they face in the music industry, the ways venues, labels and festivals can improve accessibility and representation for disabled artists and audiences, and what COVID has taught us in how we can make our online content more accessible for everyone.
Eliza Hull is a musical artist and disability advocate and recently performed on ABC's Q+A. Fresh from SXSW in Austin, Texas, Eliza will perform and share her experiences at this unique event.
Rudely Interrupted are one of Australia’s most unique acts, touring Australia wide and performing at some of the world’s most iconic venues including at the United Nations, the Kennedy Centre in Washington and selling out venues all across the world. Rudely Interrupted have also been on Spicks and Specks, The Project and recently sold out their show for the Brunswick Music Festival.
BATTS is the project of Melbourne based musician Tanya Batt. Creating a blend of folk and rock, BATTS has been touring Australia over the past few years supporting international artists like Sharon Van Etten, Lucius, The Teskey Brothers, Leif Vollebekk, Didirri and many more. In 2018 BATTS supported Cub Sport internationally and performed for Sounds Australia and Communion Music.
