Woman Enough- A celebration of women in Americana Features three of
Australia's best female songwriters coming together in collaboration
About this Event MELODY MOKO Cut from the same cloth as artists like
Brandi Carlile, Kathleen Edwards and Brooke Fraser, Melody's debut
record "The Wreckage" is long awaited. Sometimes a little bit Indie
pop, sometimes a whole lot country, Melody writes without pretence and
"The Wreckage" set out to prove that alternative country music isn't
always dark and twisted tales of heartbreak and revenge, and letting
your toes break free of your tightly laced boots and tap is okay too.
Melody toured "The Wreckage" alongside some of Australia's biggest
names in country music, including The McClymonts, Catherine Britt and
Fanny Lumsden, in Aus, NZ and the US. Playing festivals including
Gympie Music Muster, Groundwater and many more. Her second album is
due in 2019 NATALIE HENRY Henry’s singing career didn’t kickoff
until she 34. Writing became a way for her to deal with her emotions
and “escape from the daily routine.” In just three years Henry has
toured extensively across Australia, sharing her stories of love, loss
and heartache at festivals and shows. She has developed an audience
through her honest and chilling words along with her sound that fit's
all the the missing link's in Australian country music. She has now
released her debut single If We Said Goodbye & Apple and Pride, which
both debuted on the iTunes chart. CATHERINE BRITT When you look at
modern country music you can identify a diverse range of styles that
have evolved from the traditional roots form. From pop country to bush
ballads, acoustic folk-leaning songs to rousing country rock and the
polymorphic blend of Americana. One Australian artist that can lay
claim to all of these strains is Catherine Britt, a songwriter who has
already packed a respected and highly acclaimed career into her first
two decades as a recording artist. Now, in 2018, a new chapter begins
with the release of her seventh studio album, Catherine Britt & The
Cold Cold Hearts. “It’s very country and organic, probably one of
the most country albums I’ve ever done.” From Newcastle to
Nashville, Catherine made the move to the home of country music at
just 17 years old. It proved to be a brave decision that gave her
immeasurable experience as a musician, insight into the machinations
of the industry and a contract with the legendary RCA Records. Upon
returning to Australia in 2009, Catherine set about recording her
debut full length album Dusty Smiles and Heartbreak Cures, the first
of five consecutive albums nominated for Album Of The Year at the CMAA
(Country Music Awards of Australia). The accolades didn’t stop
there. Along the way she has received five Golden Guitar Awards, the
CMA Global Artist Of The Year award in 2010 and six ARIA Award
nominations for Best Country Album. The critical acclaim for her
albums and reputation as a performer has seen Catherine tour and
perform with some of the biggest names in music, including Sir Elton
John, Don McLean, Kasey Chambers, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Brad
Paisley, Dolly Parton, Kenny Chesney, Steve Earle, Guy Clark, Chris
Isaak and Keith Urban.
