Alanna & Old Hat | Isabel Rumble at The Lomond Hotel

Alanna & Old Hat brings to life the golden era of classic jazz from the vintage dance music of the roaring twenties’ flappers; timeless, romantic jazz ballads; hot swing and sweet New Orleans’ blues. Vocalist Alanna Egan's velvety tone is influenced by classic jazz singers such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Julie London and more. Alanna is a gifted songwriter and includes her original jazz songs, written in the olde worlde style, in the band’s rich repertoire. At the Lowy Alanna & Old Hat will showcase vintage stylists Jen Hawley and Sam O’Halloran on swinging guitars!

“I envy Alanna’s patter – never seen such a dry, incisive and self-deprecating wit wrapped around an incredible talent. There’s plastic jazz with the same rotation of divas and the odd exceptional soloist but she makes everything her own.” ~ Enda Kenny

A new voice in Australian music, Isabel Rumble is captivating audiences around the country. Her songs invite listeners into a cocoon of reflection on the subtleties of love, longing and hope. Nominated for Folk Alliance Australia’s Contemporary Folk Album of the Year 2023, Isabel’s debut album Bird Be Brave defines a soul-stirring emerging artist.

Isabel has opened for the likes of acclaimed folk duo Lior & Domini, guitar virtuoso Daniel Champagne, and New Zealand’s Holly Arrowsmith. She has played at festivals including Port Fairy Folk Festival, Cygnet Folk Festival, Party in the Paddock, Cobargo Folk Festival, PANAMA, Dark Mofo and Kangaroo Valley Folk Festival. In 2023 Isabel was selected from over 400 applicants to partake in the Women in Music Mentor program through AIR (Australian Independent Record Labels Association).

Following her emergence into the indie-folk scene in 2022 with standout singles Precious Burden and Solitary Dreaming, Rumble released her debut album Bird Be Brave in March 2023, recorded with Tasmanian producer Luke Plumb (The Mae Trip, Ruth Hazleton). She has since seen widespread national and community radio play and a run of sold out shows across six states.

In 2024 Isabel will be touring internationally and recording her second album in her home valley on Yuin Country in NSW.
