Kindred's Thursday afternoon gig series is back for 2026! Free live music from 1-3pm with local artists.

This Thursday we're joined by YOLANDA INGLEY II TRIO!

There’s a defining old world charm to Melbourne songstress Yolanda Ingley II – equally wielding smoky vocals and impassioned heart, Yolanda’s song dip into soul, blues and jazz with inherent sophistication that draw to mind the greats of eras passed”. Yolanda performs regularly as solo, duo (with Monica Weightman), trio with double bass and up to 8 piece or more of the best Melbourne has to offer…as required.
