Step back in time and let your ears drink in the sweet, sun-dappled sounds of Queenie & Hank a dynamite duo dripping in rhinestones and soaked in 60s charm. With golden harmonies and a smoky twang, they channel the sultry swagger of Nancy & Lee and the tender fire of Dolly & Kenny, while offering something undeniably fresh.
Queenie is Eloise Thetford, a rising star in Melbournes live music scene with a voice of pure gold. Hank, aka Henry Wagons, a pioneer of Australias indie-country movement, adds his fireside baritone and visionary edge. Together, they twist and turn through a psychedelic folk turbine, emerging from the darker corners of music and storytelling with a sound that feels both timeless and brand new.
What began as a chance meeting at the 2023 APRA Awards with a sprinkle of mutual admiration soon turned into a collaboration that felt fated. Their voices met like puzzle pieces in Hanks Trentwood Studio, and in a wild, organic stream of creative force, they forged a full album of original duets that hover in the spirits of the past while reaching boldly forward.
Think modern Nancy & Lee or Nick & Kylie but uniquely Queenie & Hank.
