Catherine House Fundraiser featuring Jen Lush Band, Bridget Fahey & the Bone Rattlers, Cherry Daisies and Layla Indiana.

At the time of writing this 52 women have been killed by men’s violence in Australia this year and frontline services for women extracting themselves from domestic violence situations in this country are woefully inadequate. Organisations such as Catherine House that provide emergency accommodation for women are often the only options available and it is therefore imperative that we as a community support them in any way that we can. 

With that in mind please join us at The Jade on September 6 to enjoy the wonderful vibes of four wonderful Adelaide artists as well as an auction of great works by local artists. All profits from this event will go directly to Catherine House to enable them to continue providing vital services to women in Adelaide.

Services like Catherine house are seriously overworked and don’t have capacity to help everyone who requires it, so extra money in donations would be very much appreciated.

Jen Lush:  Adelaide singer-songwriter Jen Lush is known for her dynamic, intimate and adventurous new music. With influences ranging from Feist, Iron & Wine, Anais Mitchell, these are tender folk songs flung into evocative, experimental rock infused soundscapes with storytelling at the centre taking Jen and her stellar band to festivals and venues throughout South Australia, Victoria, NSW, WA and Tasmania.After a decade with folk band Cat Dog Bird, and her debut solo album of poem songs ‘The Night’s Insomnia’, Jen and her band-folk (James Brown, Paul Angas, Sam Cagney and Mark Seddon) released ‘Let Loose The Beating Birds’ (2021) and brand new album ‘Hum of the mettle’ in August this year.
