“Kathleen is the breath of fresh air you didn’t even know you needed. Her demonstrative yet effortless stage presence is alluring in itself as she makes her guitar sing with supreme musicianship, taste and soul. And then…Kathleen’s voice further reinforces she is a true, modern day artist with captivating stories to tell. Bringing so much to the table for other powerhouse artists like Kate Ceberano, together the two women form a fierce and beautiful team on and off stage, supporting each other as world class performers.

In Sept 2023, I was also fortunate to have Kathleen be my special guest prior to my own show, and she won over every single heart that evening in Melbourne.

I look forward to watching Kathleen’s star continue to soar.”
