Jhana Allan

Uralla-based singer-songwriter Jhana Allan celebrates the release of her sophomore album,‘Fake Paradise’. Themes of desire, addiction, and awareness of the artist’s own need for prioritising rest, forms the backdrop of this shape-shifting release. The album was recorded in Nashville in 2023, produced by Americana artist Rachel Baiman, and engineered by Sean Sullivan (Molly Tuttle, Margo Price, Tyler Childers).

Drawing inspiration from musicians like The Weather Station, Sam Amidon, PJ Harvey, and Lucie Thorne, the album moves through folk, jazz, and rock soundscapes, retaining a throughline of Allan’s visceral and emotive writing and singing, and grounded by her layered vocal presence.

Allan’s distinctive cross-picking mandolin style, jazzy fiddle chops and stunning piano ballads provide a rich backdrop for her storytelling.

Her first time performing at the Stone Pony, Allan will be joined by Adelaide’s own Tom Kneebone on guitars, creating a lush and intimate duo sound.
