She’s played to sold-out crowds and she’s played to six people; she’s played for miners, hipsters, children, and once she played the piano at a dinner for the World Scouts Foundation where the guest of honour was the King of Sweden. (That sounds like a cheese dream but it actually happened.) There's once place she hasn't played though - your lounge room! She'll be playing her favourite songs, telling some stories, and maybe even writing a new song just for you in this one night only live stream from the Geelong Arts Centre.
