Ruth Apelt & The Marvellous

RUTH APELT grew up in Brisbane and released a cassette of original songs in 1991. 4ZZZ liked her feminist tunes and TIME OFF compared her to JANIS IAN. She recorded an album in Nashville and supported JANIS IAN in 94 at favourite Brisbane venue, Van Gogh’s Earlobe. Ruth played the folk festivals from WOODFORD to PORT FAIRY through the 90s, and supported acts like ANI DiFRANCO, LUKA BLOOM and LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO.
Now back in Brisbane, Ruth Apelt honours Janis Ian, a trailblazing female singer/songwriter and a major influence on her own life and music.
Homage to Janis Ian is a new show developed to celebrate the 50 Anniversary of Janis Ian’s no.1 Album, Between The Lines, with its timeless anthem, At Seventeen.
