Described as “a very rare, exceptionally intimate, rather entertaining live duo show”, this tour promises a special connection between artist and audience—a signature of Bowditch’s career that spans decades and multiple creative disciplines.

Known for her genre-defying music and magnetic stage presence, Bowditch has received some of Australia’s highest creative honours. She’s an ARIA Award-winner for Best Female Artist, a Rolling Stone Woman of the Year, and a Logie nominee for her role as Rosanna in Offspring. Beyond music and acting, she’s also a celebrated author and speaker.

Her bestselling memoir Your Own Kind of Girl (Allen & Unwin, 2019) won an ABIA Award and was followed by the release of her audio companion, Tame Your Inner Critic, empowering audiences with insight, humour, and compassion.

From festival stages to theatres, truck stops to TV screens, Bowditch has shared lineups with musical icons including Leonard Cohen, Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins, Gotye and John Butler.

Her return to the stage in 2025 is set to be a heartfelt celebration of creativity and connection.
