Kate Oliver
Australian-born country and folk artist Kate Oliver sings with the depth and beauty of the Katherine River, the lifeblood of the town she calls home. Kate is a traveler; making her way all over outback Australia while working, sharing stories, writing songs and playing music. From roadworks camps across the Tanami and Plenty Hwys to the seaside haven of Newcastle in NSW and beyond, if you're lucky you'll find Kate in a bar, on a back porch or sitting round a campfire, guitar in hand, ready to regale you with universal tales of life and love irrevocably intertwined with the feeling of the Australian bush, the bounce of her beloved truck over long and dusty corrugated roads informing the rhythms of her songs. Kate's rich and earthy voice and nostalgic delivery will take any audience on a journey through the raw back country Kate knows all too well.
