About

Step into an evening of rich storytelling and spellbinding song as the enigmatic singer-songwriter Petunia brings a rare solo performance to Medina Bookshop.
Blending elements of folk, country, ragtime and old-time roots, Petunia’s music feels both timeless and refreshingly original—like a late-night radio broadcast drifting in from another era. With a voice that can shift from tender and intimate to wild and weathered, and lyrics full of wit, longing and unexpected turns, every song is its own small world.
Expect tales of love and loss, strange journeys and beautiful misadventures, all delivered with charm, humour and a touch of the surreal. In the cosy, book-lined setting of Medina Bookshop, this promises to be a truly immersive and memorable night—part concert, part storybook, and wholly unique.
Come along, settle in, and let Petunia carry you somewhere else for a while.
Petunia is more than just an entertainer, he’s a modern musical enigma. Imagine that David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby, that yodeled… or Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction. This is just one way of describing the man known simply as Petunia.
