PRAISE FOR Stella Bridie

“Some songwriters need to shut themselves off from the world to make music, all Stella Bridie requires is her iPhone. Thanks to her Notes app, the 25 year old can write anytime and anywhere.”

VOGUE Vanguard

“Cleverly written and unique in story.”

“He Didn’t Mean It” showcases her cathartic brand of indie-rock and stark, emotive songwriting.”

Rolling Stone

“Lyrics leave a highly emotional yet freeing impact.”

Following the release of her recent EP Speaking Terms, the Australian songwriter with all local eyes on her, Stella Bridie, today announces her debut US tour leading into her official SXSW appearance this March. SEE ALL DATES + DETAILS BELOW.

​​A cogent musician and creative across forms, Stella Bridie writes for the long walk home from the party where mind games dance. Balancing the catharsis of indie rock with etchings of pop-impulses – think a mix of Julia Jacklin, Sharon Van Etten, boygenius, and Ethel Cain; at times pristinely polished and at others with scabbed knees. She conceptualizes disillusionment with gripping imagery.

With her debut EP Speaking Terms, Stella Bridie arrived as a songwriter with conviction. Confident with every move, deeply intentional, indebted to having the final word, Speaking Terms calls on perspective – moments of pain are inevitable, but they don’t have to ruin your life.

Riding off the EP’s widespread acclaim from Vogue Australia, Rolling Stone, NME, 10 Magazine, Ones To Watch, Bandcamp and embrace across Spotify’s Fresh Finds (ANZ Cover + US), Apple Music’s New Music Daily, Antidote, Breaking Rock, triple j, triple j Unearthed and SiriusXM’ AltNation, Stella Bridie cemented herself as a stand out at BIGSOUND last year for her debut while also landed local supports for Telenova and Lola Scott. Believe the reviews: “spine-tingling” (Vogue Australia), “one of the most exciting new voices in Australia” (Shameless Media), “music that pours straight into your heart and sends you on a one-way trip to your feels” (triple j Unearthed) – Stella Bridie’s music leaves a lasting mark.

Alongside her previously announced SXSW showcase, Stella Bridie will be performing two headline shows in Los Angeles and New York, debuting Speaking Terms to US crowds and launching local favorites such as “He Didn’t Mean It” and “Organ Donor” into special band performances.
