Shani Forrester

Playfully bridging genres, Shani Forrester has a growing reputation for captivating her audience through song. Echoing the poetic sincerity of song-writing greats of the '60’s folk revival, Shani’s solo show is stripped right back to let voice and guitar tell the story.

With a unique blend of soulful folk ballads and original arrangements, Shani effortlessly takes the audience on a journey through her very heart and soul. Drawing inspiration from her celtic-folk roots in combination with various styles, this talented multi-instrumentalist breathes deep emotion into every song. As a soloist and as vibrant front woman of Luna Junction she has appeared at a range of venues and festivals including Woodford, Byron Bluesfest, Brisbane Jazz Club, Brisbane Powerhouse and the Old Museum.

Jumping Fences

Jumping Fences’ songs traverse working lives, migration and exile, and everyday hopes and joys. Their long association with Latin American music resonates deeply in their own compositions. They toured to Cuba in 2017 and 2018, and nationally they have performed at numerous festivals and venues in South-East Queensland and Victoria. They have composed songs for choirs and conducted workplace songwriting and performance projects in association with the Qld Council of Unions. Jumping Fences have released six recordings, most recently ‘Woolloongabba’. You can listen to a selection of songs on Spotify, Youtube or Apple Music.
