Jess Ribeiro
Melbourne folk-noir with synths and dry, compact lyrics
Based in Melbourne, Australia
Her songs move between close-mic folk, slow indie-rock and synth-lit pop, with breezy guitar figures, steady drums and a voice that stays cool even when the words cut. Expect compact arrangements, a little noir atmosphere, and the kind of set that can turn from tender to oddly funny without changing pace.
More about Jess Ribeiro
Jess Ribeiro is a Melbourne-based songwriter with a long-running solo catalog on her own Bandcamp and website. The festival text’s comparison to Aldous Harding and Courtney Barnett fits the lane: Australian songwriting that keeps the hook but bends the frame, with a cinematic edge that lands somewhere between country, pop and dusk-lit indie.
