Horsnell will play songs from her new album Trobairitz in a free intimate lunch-time concert at Sugar Sounds Vinyl.
She will also have copies of her vinyl album for sale, so if you like what you hear you can take her home too.
Trobairitz is named for the female word for Troubadour - the Trobairitz were a group of female lyrical romantic songwriters from Occitania.
It's a perfect match as this gypsy musician has spent her life traveling the world with children in tow, her guitar, and her heart on her sleeve.
After nearly two decades of songwriting and performing solo in living rooms and on street corners, in theatres, festivals and small bars, Trobairitz is actually her first album of solo originals, both new and old favourites.
Recorded by Paul McKercher, featuring Horsnell's voice accompanied by her classical and electric guitar, it is a delicate showcase of pure songwriting.
It recently debuted at number 6 on the Australian Independent Record Labels Association chart.
The intimate setting of one voice, one instrument lends itself perfectly to these beautiful tunes.
The performance will be from 12.30-1.30pm at Sugar Sounds, upstairs at 203A Carp St Bega.
