Elke Louie

Emerging Australian singer-songwriter Elke Louie will return home to Gympie for a local stop on her debut EP LAVENDER tour, offering hometown audiences a special opportunity to experience the new release live.

Following the release of debut single Killing Time in late 2025 and sophomore release Sandman earlier this year, Elke Louie has quickly established herself as a compelling new voice in the Australian indie folk scene. Released on April 24, her debut EP LAVENDER marks a major milestone for the 19-year-old artist, featuring a collection of original songs exploring love, longing, youth, identity and emotional growth.

The Gympie show will be a special hometown celebration and the only local date on the LAVENDER tour.

Audiences can expect an intimate evening of live music in a unique arts setting, with doors opening at 5:00pm and music from 5:30pm. Guests are welcome to BYO picnic hampers & drinks to enjoy during the event, with refreshments and light snack food also available for purchase.

Adding to the evening is a special guest performance by Those Folk, the producers behind Elke Louie’s entire debut EP, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience both the artist and creative collaborators who helped bring LAVENDER to life.

Known for her emotionally resonant songwriting, warm stage presence and distinctive vocal style, Elke has already built an impressive performance history across South East Queensland, including appearances at Spring in the Vale, Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival and Woodfordia’s Lake Gkula recently. She is also front vocalist & guitarist for indie rock band Hugo and the Hive.

This all-ages event offers local audiences a rare opportunity to celebrate the release of LAVENDER in the town where Elke’s musical journey began.
