Bio
From her roots in a small Australian country town in the heart of the farming district of Northern Victoria, talented singer-songwriter Kath Buckell captivates audiences wherever she travels. In classic troubadour style she connects to her audience with her heartfelt stories of the Australian land and its people. Buckell's distinctive style draws upon many musical traditions, seamlessly fusing folk, blues, traditional Irish and country. Buckell's earnest connection with her audience exudes a wisdom far greater than her years. Her voice is rich, raw and passionate and evokes some of folk music's greatest female artists. "She takes me back to the 60's and 70's to the likes of Joan Baez and Judy Collins...such a talent!" - The Lab, French Festival – Jerusalem Currently residing in New York city, Buckell was introduced to producer and saxophonist Jaroslav Jakubovic (Carly Simon, Paul Simon) and his son Daniel Jakubovic who produced her latest album 'Faces Do Not Change' under VMM Records. "Through Jaroslavs' mentoring and Daniels amazing production work we were able to find a sound that really captures a sensate experience of where I grew up and the Australian land and culture not just through my lyric, even though the lyric is very important as I do tell a story most of the time...well all of the time." She is joined by special guest Ula Hedwig one of the original Harlettes from Bette Midlers group on a stunning rendition of Ula's original 'Bird Of Mine'. "This album is very special to me as I feel it really captures the importance of family, home and culture. It doesn't matter where I've been or what I've done I still hold dearly my identity as opposed to just taking it for granted that's where I'm from." In the midst of discovering her Australian roots she has adapted contemporary music to the eloquent and thought provoking lyric of three infamouse Australian poets Andrew Barton Patterson, Henry Lawson and Dame Mary Gilmore. At only 26 she has already been touring internationally for eight years "... from each culture I came across I was immersed in their connection to traditions and sense of belonging to their land especially whilst living in Isreal for three years. Being Australian I wondered what is it that defines me and how did the culture of Australia come to exist from early colonial times and who voiced this...well I found it in the poetry." After identifying this connection with her roots in Israel she met the renowned Aoife Clancy whom is the daughter of Bobby Clancy of The Clancy Brothers. "After meeting Aoife, I was not only incredibly touched and inspired by such a beautiful person and natural artist though my understanding about tradition really took hold as she is preserving such a rich tradition of Irish music and the music of her father and uncles whom had such an impact on the people I admired and respected such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and Van Morrison." Currently she is performing with Aoife Clancy , Becky Chace and Hadar Noiberg in a group called The Jammin Divas. The Jammin Divas is a special collaboration of four women each from different cultures Ireland, USA, Australia and Israel coming together to perform traditional and contemporary folk music. "What I love so much about this group is that we each have a powerful voice not just through song though together we blend in a way that is indicative of our world today." Kath Buckell is set to release her new album in 2011 Faces Do Not Change.
