Elly Hoyt: My Nightingale EP Launch

Elly Hoyt will be joined by some of Tassie and Melbourne’s finest to present her sophomore EP, “searching for stillness,” under the pseudonym My Nightingale.

Elly Hoyt transmutes her soulful jazz roots to indie-folk, a sound which was described by the Sunshine Coast Ukulele Festival as, “absolutely exquisite… modern soul-funk, a bit folky, a bit Celtic, with phenomenal voices, harmonies and dry humour!”

Elly Hoyt: Voice, guitar, ukulele
Tamara Murphy: Double bass
Darryn Farrugia: Drums
Mark Schmalfuss: Guitar, Banjo
Katy Raucher: Voice

Quotes:
“My Nightingale’s folk is as wistful as it is celebratory and executed elegantly, they have my attention, for sure.” – Nick Rodwell – 4ZZZ

“Elly Hoyt has harnessed the power and beauty of music.” — Australianjazz.net
