About This Show
Gráinne Hunt and Jules Stewart brought joy to their first two visits to Celtic Junction through their warmth on stage and the sense of togetherness they created with the audience. We’re delighted to welcome them back. A queer, nu-folk singer-songwriter with a voice like complex coffee, Gráinne Hunt is one of Ireland’s most compelling vocalists and songwriters - blending raw emotion, commanding power, and a voice that stops audiences in their tracks. Her reputation as a powerhouse performer has landed her on stages alongside Glen Hansard and U2, with opening slots for Gladys Knight and Mary Black. “The Irish Joni.” Michael Londra Performing as a duo with San Diego–based drummer and vocalist Jules Stewart, Hunt expands her work into a dynamic bi-continental queer folk collaboration marked by close harmonies, emotional clarity, and strong musical chemistry. Together, they’ve been described as “the bi-continental queer folk duo you didn’t know you needed in your life.” Jules Stewart is a drummer and vocalist based in Nashville, TN with over 25 years of experience performing with artists including Gráinne Hunt, Lindsay White, and Please Ask for Paul. She began her musical training at a young age in Scottish traditions, including Highland dancing and pipe band drumming.
