The gig will be the first ever live music event for Vine & Tap, and Bolt said she's looking forward to performing for a new audience.
"I'm excited to play in front of a crowd again," she said.
"Vine & Tap has been really accommodating, and I hope the music will suit the venue's atmosphere."
While she hasn't been able to gig during COVID-19, Bolt has continued to teach music to a host of local students through her tuition business.
She has also continued to work on new music with fellow band members TJ Tanuvasa, Karl Serna and Kelly Miller.
"Karl and Kelly came down to visit a few days ago, and we virtually wrote two songs on the spot," Bolt said.
"We've also expanded our ability to work on new music remotely, which has been really helpful considering Kelly, Karl and TJ are all based in Sydney."
Bolt has also gained a significant following online through her humorous musical accompaniments to famous Australian political and media moments.
"I won't be incorporating those ditties into my set on Saturday, but it'll be live streamed, so there's some familiarity there," she said.
"This is purely about live music and right now, it's more important than ever to go and support your local creatives."
Bolt's gig will get under way from 6.30pm.
