Hatchling - FREE ENTRY

Hatchling blends the raw emotion of folk, the cathartic energy of blues rock and the distinct lyrical flair of western Americana. The music is emotionally charged, often stemming from a confessional yet confrontational alter ego and draws influence from the likes of Lana Del Rey, Wolf Alice, Fleetwood Mac, Jade Bird, Gillian Welch, Mazzy Star.

While Hatchling forms deeply personal narratives in her songwriting, the concepts become relatable through clever lyricism, juxtaposing strength and vulnerability, capturing her consistent journey of self-exploration and growth as a being.

 

Following the release of her self-titled debut EP in 2022, Hatchling released her debut album ‘Dress-Ups’ in 2026 to growing acclaim, backed by consistent local and national radio support including Triple J and Unearthed. The project was celebrated with a sold out album launch at the Sneaky Possum, alongside multiple sold out Sydney headline and single launch shows at venues including Buddy’s, Trocadero Room and The Vic on the Park. Hatchling is set to take ‘Dress-Ups’ on an East Coast Australian tour in October 2026.
