Cockatoo Island Sunset Sessions

Spend the Saturdays of Summer at Cockatoo Island's Sunset Sessions, our relaxed live music series. 

24 February – Caitlin Harnett

Supported by Babe Rollins

Caitlin Harnett is back kicking the dust off her heels in 2024 for a solo set at Sunset Sessions on beautiful Wareamah (Cockatoo Island). Following Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys' highly praised 'All Night Long' Album Tour, which delivered "melancholic ache and twang combined with absolutely world class songwriting" (Rhythms Magazine) across the East Coast in late 2023, Caitlin is getting ready once again to make you dance, laugh and cry into the New Year. Hear her unfiltered stories first-hand, Giddy Up!

Supporting Caitlin is Babe Rollins. If country music sensation Dolly Parton was trapped inside the body of an Australian man and was forced to write mediocre indie country pop, it would almost certainly sound like what Babe Rollins is trying to achieve. Hailing from the Wild West (Western Sydney), this prolific songwriter adds a new country flair to the Aussie indie music scene. Taking inspiration from Neil Young, Terry Allen, Sturgill Simpson and Alex G, his multi-instrumentalism helps define his own special sound and style.
