Prinnie Stevens is a powerhouse singer, dancer, songwriter and storyteller. Having shared the stage with some of the biggest names in music for more than two decades (Mary j Blige, Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan & more), Prinnie continues to share the story of empowerment through music which has helped shape and guide her, both professionally and personally. 

Prinnie combined her musical theatre skills, pop, RnB, soul, influences and TV background to deliver timeless performances in the last three seasons at Adelaide Fringe.

ā€œI am absolutely thrilled to be an Adelaide Fringe Ambassador for 2024. As a performer, the Fringe was the first place I got to explore being a producer and telling my unfiltered story. Iā€™m so passionate about not only creating a safe space for myself, but to open the door for others to be able to share that stage, too. I strongly believe that black and brown stories need to be told by black and brown people, allowing them, their voice and platform to share it.ā€ 

Revisit these iconic musical moments in history through the eyes of Prinnieā€™s ā€˜Lady Sings The Blues Volume Twoā€™ from 16-25 February.

Isaac Humphries

You may know Isaac as a star Basketballer for the Adelaide 36ers, but as he continues to share more about his off-court life, particularly his love for music, we are starting to see an emerging talent in more ways than one. Isaac is excited to continue his representation of Adelaide through the Fringe and cannot wait to contribute to the festival and its impact to the state.

ā€œAdelaide holds a special place in my heart. I canā€™t believe Iā€™m about to have a show in Adelaide Fringe and I'm so grateful to be an Ambassador. I love contributing to this amazing community and to be able to bring my live music back to Adelaide, a city that has helped me become so much of who I am, is very special to me.ā€

Isaacā€™s vocal range is as wide as he is tall. Catch him live at his show ā€˜Isaac Humphries - Unearthedā€™ on 15 and 16 March.
