Everything you need to know!

Hey there!

I’m Kristie Jane, and these are my babies, Edie (8) and Milo (6).
I’m so grateful you’re here!

Small Fry Rock began in 2018 when I was looking for shows to take Edie to when she was a bub. I’d worked in the music industry for over a decade in venues (booking the Inner West’s beloved Annandale Hotel), touring and artist management, and as a new Mum, without being able to get to gigs as often, I felt myself slowly disconnecting from the industry I love. Hoping there were other people out there feeling the same, Small Fry Rock was created for us tired parents to introduce our small fries to music we know and love, without having to hire a babysitter while still getting the kids home for their afternoon nap. Kinda like a musical appreciation parents group. And, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love day drinking while the kids happily dance and kick around balloons.
