Amphora's Diner Deluxe

The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon welcomes Australian folk duo Great Aunt to the Amphora Diner Deluxe (1151 Elden St.) this coming Tuesday September 15th at 7:00 pm. The performance marks the beginning of the Folk Club's 2026-2027 Concert Series. Founded in 1985, the non-profit Folk Club has presented outstanding performers and offers a premier listening room experience for musicians and audience members alike.
“Great Aunt take an eclectic and joyous approach to making music. The songs&nbsp;are deeply felt, revealing, relatable – at&nbsp;once a personal and shared revival.”
Great Aunt is a genre-bending folk duo from&nbsp;Australia, known for their soaring harmonies,&nbsp;dynamic instrumentation, and heart-felt live&nbsp;performances. Winners of the 2024 Folk Alliance&nbsp;Australia Duo of the Year, Great Aunt –&nbsp;comprised of Megan Bird (mandolin, resonator,&nbsp;acoustic guitar, vocals) and Chelsea Allen (double&nbsp;bass, vocals, percussion) – craft music that is rooted in&nbsp;folk, bluegrass, and roots traditions, yet refreshingly&nbsp;shaped by their diverse backgrounds in punk, jazz,&nbsp;soul, and rock.
With foot-stomping rhythm, bombastic bass drum and richly textured harmonies, their sound is instantly recognizable and wholly original.&nbsp;Their work has drawn comparisons to the anti-folk&nbsp;and indie scenes for its “lyrical with and rhythmic&nbsp;dexterity” (Adeem the Artist), while The Bluegrass&nbsp;Situation (USA) calls them “an Australian duo to&nbsp;know,” praising their “impressive log of tours, festival&nbsp;shows, and releases.” Wax Vinyl Records (UK)&nbsp;describes their latest single “What’s A Girl To Do&nbsp;Now?” as “poignant and empowering … a message of&nbsp;frustration and resilience, addressing societal norms&nbsp;and expectations placed upon women.”
