Mimi Gilbert & Ruby Gill (Poetry) at The Vanguard

Don’t miss Mimi Gilbert (USA) and Ruby Gill (Australia / South Africa) as they embark on an intimate tour of Aus, bringing their award-winning alt-folk and profound poetry to an exciting series of shows in big and small places near you. Each will bring their own flawless minimalism and unforgettable lyrical honesty to the table, with protest songs, witnessing of nature, exploration of queerness and deep love for family and politics that are beloved by audiences all over the globe. Both will leave you a little changed from when you walked in the door.

The two small bodied, opinionated, light hearted, torch-carriers of song have been fast friends for many years, and will be reuniting for an intimate tour across Aus this March, following their recent tour of Ruby’s homeland to celebrate her award-winning 2025 album ‘Some Kind Of Control’, new poetry book ‘I’m not exaggerating when I say’, and Mimi’s stunning new record 'Undrowning'. This experience is bound to be unforgettable - and perhaps the only rare time the two internationally-acclaimed songwriters get to share stories together and sit in on each other’s performances.
