Join Charlie Lane and Ruby Mae for a lazy afternoon at The Retreat Hotel (2–4 pm). Bringing together two deeply heartfelt Naarm voices for two acoustic sets.
Charlie Lane is a Naarm/Melbourne-based singer-songwriter whose sound weaves together blues, folk, and indie rock in a way that’s soulful and emotionally raw. Her debut album, I’m Okay Now But I Wasn’t, is an autobiographical journey through her experience living with Cerebral Palsy. With strong praise from Triple J, Beat Magazine and The Rockpit, and over 350,000 streams, Charlie’s nostalgic moods, self-aware lyricism and magnetic live presence invite listeners into something honest and deeply human. 
Ruby Mae, a Wiradjuri musician from Melbourne, released her debut album Baby in April 2025, a culmination of nearly a decade of writing, collaboration and growth. Baby explores themes of love, independence, self-discovery, and the bittersweet complexities of her 20s. Ruby’s songs carry a nostalgic charm and lyrical clarity, making her a powerful emerging voice in the Australian indie scene. 
Together, Charlie and Ruby Mae promise an entrancing afternoon of gently powerful storytelling, reflective songwriting, and warm, soulful melodies, perfect for a laid-back Sunday.
