Supported by Biddy Healey, singer/songwriter and composer/arranger, newly arrived in Brisbane after several years in the US where she played sold out shows. Her debut album, Salt River Bed (2020) was recorded in Brooklyn with a 9-piece band of NYC’s finest musicians, including Grammy Award-winners Sara Caswell (violin) and Nadje Noordhuis (trumpet/flugelhorn). Salt River Bed is a “refreshing take on contemporary jazz and folk” (Nikolas Fotakis, AusJazzNet), and a poignant response to ecological crisis, rich with tender vignettes of the people and places Biddy has called home.
