Sapphic Songs to Swoon To

An intimate cabaret performance celebrating lesbian artists across decades — from the 1920s to today — through evocative song, personal storytelling, and projected imagery. Bernie McKinlay weaves together iconic sapphic music with deeply personal reflections on growing up lesbian in Brisbane during the transformative 1960s.

This heartfelt show is more than a musical journey — it’s a tribute to resilience, identity, and belonging. Bernie shares stories of queer women who found courage and visibility through music, even when the world around them was unwelcoming. Expect soaring vocals, tender moments, and rich historical context all delivered with warmth and sincerity.

Perfect for anyone who loves musical storytelling with emotional depth, this cabaret offers a rare blend of artistry and authenticity. Whether you’re a fan of classic lesbian folk, jazz, or indie pop, you’ll find something to cherish in this curated musical tapestry.
