5 x ARIA Award winning artist Katie Noonan will release her 30th studio album in 2026:

Tickets available here:

The album is an intimate and poignant exploration of love in all its stages and features

Katie’s first songwriting collaboration with acclaimed writer Trent Dalton. The album is a

powerful and delicate offering with Katie’s piano and a string quartet the only

accompaniment for her exquisite vocal performance.

This album is for anyone who’s gone through a life shift-not just separation, but grief,

uncertainty, or quiet reinvention.” reveals Katie, “It’s music for sitting with things. For

remembering we’re not alone, even in solitude. It’s personal, but I hope it will resonate in a

way that becomes collective.”

Alone but All One is a quiet turning inward-a return to something essential. Musically it is

very stripped back-just Katie, her piano and a string quartet, recorded live in her lounge

room on Gubbi Gubbi Country in the hills behind Nambour, Queensland.

It feels like a deep breath before the next chapter. The creative intention is clear: to honour

this moment, share it with care, and trust that others will feel themselves in it too.
