I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music. - George Eliot

BIO
2009 looks set to be a busy year for Sydney Singer/Songwriter Caitlin Harnett.  Caitlin released her debut EP ‘Tiny Spark’ which was recorded with Matt Fell at Love Hz Studio’s.  The independently released EP features five beautifully crafted original songs and a lilting version of the June Carter and Johnny Cash classic Jackson.

Caitlin is just 19 years old, but the maturity and credibility of her songwriting has quickly captured the attention of audiences and music industry insiders.  Following on from her Young Songwriters Award at the Apollo Bay Music Festival and grand final appearance in the Telstra Road to Tamworth, the young artist has been signed to a publishing deal with Mushroom Music Publishing.

The EP has achieved some great success with three of the songs being used in Australian television programs and another song will soon feature in an upcoming Australian movie. Earlier this year Caitlin was shortlisted for the prestigious APRA Professional Development Awards and was selected to perform at the Port Fairy Folk Festival for the first time.

Caitlin has a natural stage presence that draws you in and a beautiful voice that compels you to listen. Her performances reveal a wisdom and warmth that belies her youth.  Hard to categorise, her songs have the honesty of country, the lilt of folk, a touch of pop and suggests early-life exposure to somebody's really good record collection.

"Caitlin Harnett is one of the freshest talents I've heard in a long time. Her EP is extraordinarily good. I'm sure that an enormous career is going to grow from this Tiny Spark" - Jeff Jenkins (Inpress, RRR)

"Every now and then you run across an artist who you feel, rather than hear.  I closed my eyes, and her music took me away.  Yes, I heard it, but I also felt it which is a rare thing.  Tim Daley CMC

"Tiny Spark is a beautiful testament to just how lovely an acoustic guitar and melodic vocals can be"  Brag Magazine

Nov 2009 - Supporting Angie Hart at Raval 6th and 7th November
Oct 2009 - Singing on US Band A Rocket To The Moon's debut album - The craziest experience was recording vocals for young US Pop Band “A Rocket to the Moon” www.myspace.com/arockettothemoon. The asked me to sing on the track "On A Lonely Night'. We became MySpace friends about a year ago, and after lots of talking and webcam link ups, they asked me to sing on their record. It’s a strange experience being so far away not knowing exactly what they’re looking for, but after a flurry of emails and re-recordings, it was all done.
Aug 2009 - Tying Hands features in Australian Movie - For those of you who haven’t heard, look out for a new Australian Movie called Centre Place. “Tying Hands and Holding Shoelaces” from my EP is used in one of the scenes. Also this month I'm supporting Paul Greene at his Sydney Launch.
June 2009 - Supports with Huckleberry Swedes - Well I’m off for a little Suburban Dreaming with the Huckleberry Swedes. Over the next week or so I’ll be joining them for a number of shows as part of their national tour. If you haven’t seen them you’re really missing out. The Huckleberry Swedes hail from South Australia. We first discovered them in Tamworth where they were special guests of Bill Chambers. We were hooked. I guess you’d say they are an alternative country/roots rock band with vivid soul and bluesy elements. A real melting pot.
May 2009 - Supports with Karl Broadie - I'll be doing lots of gigs this month and in particular a run of support shows with Karl Broadie. Karl is releasing his new album "Branches". Check out the gig guide to see where we are playing. Karl has supported and helped me so much over the last few years so please try and get along to one of his shows.

April 2009 - Met Glen A Baker Played at the launch of ASONG where I met Glen A Baker who told me I reminded him of young Joni Mitchell. I smiled in the car the whole way home. Played at the Museum of Contemporary Art which is very cool. Got to do another gig with a full band which was heaps of fun. .

March 2009 - Caitlin on the Radio Tuesday 3rd tune into FBI radio 94.5 FM between 12pm and 1pm. I’m a guest on Stuart Coupe’s Tune Up show which specialises in playing cover songs. I’ll be playing a song live in the studio as well as spinning a few of my favourite cover songs. Thursday 5th I’ll be chatting to Vincent Simonetti on his alt country folk and roots show Outpost. It’s on 2SER 107.3 FM between 12 and 1.30pm. I’ll be talking up my launch and other musical topics, as well as playing live in the studio.

Feb 2009 - Signed to Mushroom Music Publishing Great News!!!! I have been signed to a publishing deal with Mushroom Music Publishing which is Australia's biggest independent publishing company. Thanks to Bill Page for believing in me.
Things really busy at the moment as I try to get everything organised for my EP Launch on the 11th of March at the Supper Club. It's going to be a full band show with a few very special guests who've helped me get to this point. Hope some of you can make it.

Jan 2009 Just back from another great Tamworth Country Music Festival. Met a great bunch of guys from a band called The Wildes who hail from Melbourne. My favourite gigs during the festival were my support spot with The Huckleberry Swedes and my Songwriters in the Round with Karl Broadie. Check them all out you won't be disappointed.
