Sid The Cat Presents Toni Cornell with Hana Bryanne 9/23/2026 at Permanent Records Roadhouse 21+ Toni Cornell is a singer-songwriter with a soulful voice and a gift for evocative storytelling. Raised in New York City and homeschooled while growing up around the world, she started out in musical theater before picking up a guitar and turning to songwriting, blending her love of poetry with music. Her first original song, “Far Away Places,” written at 12, was later featured in a short film of the same name. Her sound is hard to pin to one genre, pulling from folk, rock, and singer-songwriter traditions into something distinctly her own. “I love a song that makes you stop, listen, and wonder,” she says — writing lyrics that lean into raw emotion and unexpected turns of phrase, shaped by a childhood spent between cultures.
