The South Australian Award Winning Songwriter is one of those artists who's unique style simply cannot be put into a box. From big blues to soulful country, it is music that is real and raw and vulnerable.
"it's just so much fun, that girls got amazing pipes, she sounds like Amy Winehouse - but with more of a soulful edge as opposed to a jazz hook" NKECHI ANELE - TRIPLE J ROOTS AND ALL Releasing her debut album in 2019, the Americana artist has had many a success including ABC radio rotation, #1 AMRAP radio charting and inclusion on hit country Spotify playlists. Her latest album "Unplugged" hit #1 on the AMRAP radio charts & was the ABC Country Feature Album June 17, 2021. Her latest single "Poets Troubadours & Me" also a #1 hit on the AMRAP chart was released September 2022. A sought after session musician, she's also known for lending Backing Vocals, Percussion & Guitar duties to some of the countries finest including Beccy Cole, Lyn Bowtell & Amber Joy Poulton. Whether around a campfire, in RSL's or in the intimate setting of people's living rooms - this is an artist you simply need to hear. Her captivating live show will have you giggling one minute and in tears the next as she tells stories about her travels, her family and her much loved 1992 Toyota Hiace "Pamela Vanderson". "I really don’t know if we have anyone similar in Australia, I am pretty sure that we don’t. She has similar elements of other artists from overseas, and maybe a touch of Renee Geyer, but basically, she is a one-off. In a close tunnel genre in Australia, Kelly is Queen. She is a no-nonsense, firebrand" COWGIRL UP BLOG "Her voice is old and new at the same time, wise and whimsical, cracked and smooth. It’s the voice of an accomplished singer who has dedicated herself to being a storyteller." - SUNBURNT COUNTRY MUSIC BLOG Support - Mandy Hawkes
After spending years in a musical wasteland, Mandy Hawkes began to write songs again, and became preoccupied with singing about mortality, end times and other serious themes. Raised on a steady diet of Hymns and Dylan, Mandy’s unconventional voice is equal parts weary soul traveller and folk storyteller. She sings authentic songs that will move even the stoniest of hearts, marrying folk traditions with Australian country. Mandy has performed at Mullumbimby Music Festival, Tamworth Country Music Festival, Gympie Muster and The River Folk Festival. In 2017 she released her debut EP The Water Was Deep, a collection of songs contemplating death, afterlife and Hawkes’ religious upbringing - recorded and co-produced with Bill Chambers at Chambers Avenue Studio. 2023 hails the release of the Northern Rivers folksinger’s debut full length album, recorded and co-produced with Jordan Power. This body of work exhibits more mature songwriting and diverse sounds, yet maintains Hawkes’ deeply personal and authentic narratives. It charters a path through the various stages of relationship breakdown and grief, with some reflections on childhood and the human condition. “Hawkes has a background rich in text and music, and a desire to explore, through her music, the question of what it means to be on this earth, and to make sense of it. Her songs reflect this thoughtfulness and, as her heart is fully in them, connect movingly with the listener.” - Sunburnt Country Music “Mandy’s music is real! She writes songs that assure us she’s actually lived what she’s singing about! And I love her voice!” - Bill Chambers https://www.mandyhawkes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mandyhawkesmusic @mandyhawkesmusic |
