Ireland-based singer-songwriter, Gráinne Hunt, will be performing at Arcata Playhouse on Saturday 26th September. HFS members will receive a discount on tickets!

Performing as a duo with San Diego’s Jules Stewart on drums and vocals, the pair create a sound that’s been compared to The Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile - rich harmonies, heartfelt stories, and magnetic onstage chemistry. Together, they’ve been described as “the bi-continental q***r folk duo you didn’t know you needed in your life.”
