February 20th, 2024‘Giving it away’ tour headed to Hepburn

The Palais-Hepburn is preparing to host Claire Anne Taylor and her band, as they present ‘Giving it Away’ the highly anticipated third studio album from the lauded Tasmanian songwriter.

Taylor brings her ‘Giving it Away’ tour to The Palais on Friday, February 23, an evening performance also featuring special guest Jethro Pickett.

With a distinctively emotive and powerful vocal ability that simultaneously expresses both an inner strength and a vulnerability, Tasmania’s Claire Anne Taylor has garnered a reputation for her powerful live shows – tough and tender performances that command audiences to a silence.

“One of those rare artists that comes along once in a blue moon,” wrote Shane Howard of Goanna about Taylor.

And the Sydney Morning Herald wrote of her: “One could make many a comparison when it comes to Claire Anne Taylor’s voice – Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, early Mia Dyson, all spring to mind and all are evident in Taylor’s vocal delivery. But essentially, it’s hers and hers alone. Husky, smokey, velvet and barbed, it’s an instrument in itself and it commands your attention.”
