Caitlin Harnett hails from Sydney, Australia but her songs evoke Laurel Canyon of the early 1970’s. They share the personal and poetic nature of Joni and Jackson Browne’s early songs, youthful in their outlook but with age-old concerns at their core.
Caitlin is one of the youngest signings to Mushroom Music Publishing, Australia’s largest independent music publisher. She has been recognised overseas with an honourable mention in the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) and 2nd place in the Billboard Song Contest (Americana category).
In Australia she has performed in many venues around the country and is a regular on the Festival circuit. The fragility that has captured audiences at her live performances belies the clarity and fullness of her voice. And when she tweaks a word here and turns a phrase there, the simple notion of a girl alone onstage with her guitar is not so simple anymore.
Caitlin’s much-anticipated sophomore EP ‘All in the Golden Afternoon’ uses the template from her delicate debut ‘Tiny Spark’ but expands the musical palette. The ‘Alice in Wonderland’ themed title and artwork serves as a pointer to Harnett’s sweetness and wide-eyed innocence. In it’s first month of release, two of the tracks featured in prime time Australian Commercial Television programs
"Caitlin Harnett is going to be a star it’s just a matter of when. All In The Golden Afternoon is exquisite” – Jeff Jenkins (Inpress, ABC Radio)
'Tiny Spark', her debut EP released in 2009, achieved great success. All 5 original songs continue to be used on television. The track ‘Tying Hands and Holding Shoelaces’ featured in the Australian film ‘Centreplace’ and earned her the Runner up spot in the prestigious Vanda and Young Songwriting Competition.
"Tiny Spark is a beautiful testament to just how lovely an acoustic guitar and melodic vocals can be" – Brag Magazine
"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 XYZ Networks

Hi,
Thanks for visiting our site and being our friend. We are a rock 'n' roll band out of Southern California in the vein of The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. If you like The Rolling Stones, you will probably like us as we play that same blues based rock style that they do. Best wishes.
