Saije performed a brilliant show at the Grateful Fred Bijou Cinema Sessions in Southport in 2024 and to have them come back and perform at Grateful Fred's at The Atkinson is a real pleasure.  Saije is an award-winning, indie-folk duo whose soulful harmonies, dynamic guitar-lines and percussive breakdowns breathe life into heartfelt stories.  Their songwriting is crafted from the depths; stirring melodies bound together with graceful lyricism, and through multitasking techniques, the pair create a full-bodied sound enriched by flavours from their travels around the globe.  After being awarded Folk Alliance Australia's Young Artist of the Year 2019 - 2021, Saije has toured extensively in Australia, throughout Canada in 2020 and most recently two 50-plus-date Europe and UK tours in 2023 and 2024, playing a plethora of sold-out performances and festival appearances, including at Woodford Folk Festival (AUS), Galway Folk Festival (IRE), Surfana Festival (NL), Magpies Nest (UK) and a Folk Alliance International Official Showcase (US).  Saije have supported some of Australia's most renowned singer songwriters such as Ziggy Alberts, Kim Churchill and Steph Strings.  They continue to uplift both national and international audiences through their unifying performances and a warmth that fills small halls and overflows from large festival stages.
