KALA GARE: CLOSER TO HOME | EP LAUNCH
Fresh off national acclaim, Kala Gare returns to the stage debuting her long-awaited EP, that’s intimate, explosive, and entirely her own...
Kala Gare (KG) is a Naarm/Melbourne-based powerhouse making her mark across both the music and musical theatre scenes. Best known for taking on stages nationwide as Anne Boleyn in SIX: The Musical and most recently Sybylla in Melbourne Theatre Company's My Brilliant Career, Kala now returns to the music scene with her EP rearing to go — raw, radiant, and unapologetically real.
Blending pop, indie folk, and some hints of gospel/blues, her music explores queerness, identity, and the beautiful human mess of self-acceptance. After a stunning original debut at the Paris Cat Jazz Club and multiple sold-out shows across Sydney and Melbourne, Kala has proven she’s one of Australia’s most magnetic rising stars.
Her debut EP Closer to Home is a joyful, chaotic, and heartfelt soundtrack to growing up, letting go, and stepping into your truth. If you love Emily King, Cat Burns, or Renee Rapp, Kala’s the next artist you need on your playlist.
We acknowledge that this event will be held on Wurundjeri land of the Kulin Nation and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
