"She's known for having an extraordinarily rare voice" - CLARE BOWDITCH

Kelly Brouhaha is a powerhouse vocalist, transversing the lines of folk, country, blues, soul & jazz. Likened to the Eva Cassidy's and Linda Rondstadt's of the world, this is an artist who's unique style cannot be put into a box. From big blues to soulful country, it is music that is real and raw and vulnerable. 
 
"it's just so much fun, that girls got amazing pipes, she sounds like Amy Winehouse - but with more of a soulful edge as opposed to a jazz hook"NKECHI ANELE - TRIPLE J ROOTS AND ALL

An accomplished acoustic guitarist with a vocal so powerful the audience is often left in tears, Brouhaha has racked a string of major festivals in 2023 including Gympie Music Muster, Woodford Folk Festival & Groundwater Music Festival. 

"I really don’t know if we have anyone similar in Australia, I am pretty sure that we don’t. She has similar elements of other artists from overseas, and maybe a touch of Renee Geyer, but basically, she is a one-off. In a close tunnel genre in Australia, Kelly is Queen. She is a no-nonsense, firebrand" COWGIRL UP BLOG

An acoustic guitarist and backing singer, she’s toured with some of Australia’s best including Beccy Cole, Lyn Bowtell, Jen Mize and Amber Joy Poulton and frequents their stages at festivals around the country.

A self confessed business nerd, she’s also worked for record labels, lectured at Music SA, Music NSW and Griffith University, and worked with national touring artists Beccy Cole, Ash Grunwald & Alex Lloyd to name a few. Passionate about building capacity for grassroots artists to thrive financially in the music industry she does strategy, coaching & tour support for independant artists.

To balance out the spreadsheets, she frequents The DAG Songwriting Retreat, Gympie Song Muster and She Songwriting Retreats , inspiring the next generation as a guest mentor and has built a fierce and loyal super-fan community to share her art with away from the noise of the algorithm through monthly membership site Patreon.

"Her voice is old and new at the same time, wise and whimsical, cracked and smooth. It’s the voice of an accomplished singer who has dedicated herself to being a storyteller." - SUNBURNT COUNTRY MUSIC BLOG

Whether around a campfire, at a major festival or from behind a screen in the comfort of your living room - her captivating live show will have you giggling one minute and in tears the next as she tells stories about her travels, mental health battles, her family and her much loved 1992 Toyota Hiace "Pamela Vanderson".
