KASEY CHAMBERS
SYDNEY AUSTRALIA
Kasey Chambers, one of Australia’s most loved female artists. Kasey has sold over a million albums, been awarded eleven ARIA’s, honoured with a host of CMAA Golden Guitars and is the most awarded Australian APRA songwriter of all time.
Kasey Chambers is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most respected and accomplished female performers. The balance of commercial success with her credible country roots has seen her maintain a world-class reputation with music peers and fans alike.
A genre-defying singer and songwriter whose music encompasses the quietude of folk, the honesty of country, the edgy emotions of the blues, and the fearless spirit of rock & roll, Kasey Chambers has become one of the most popular and acclaimed artists of her generation in her native Australia while winning a devoted cult following in the rest of the world.
Blessed with a voice that suggests an Antipodean cross between Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams (both of whom are fans), Chambers was born living off the land with her family on Southern Australia’s Nullabor Plain, while making occasional stops at the fishing village of Southend. Chambers learned about country and folk music from her parents, who usually played and sang songs in the evening.
When Kasey was ten years old, she joined the family band led by her father Bill Chambers, the Dead Ringer Band, which also featured her mother Diane and brother Nash. In the ’90s, the Dead Ringer Band became one of Australia’s leading country acts.
Kasey had an individual spirit and ideas of her own. When her parents’ divorce split up the Dead Ringer Band, Kasey poured her feelings into a set of songs that would become her solo debut, 1999’s The Captain. Produced by Nash Chambers, the album was a critical and commercial success, winning the Australian Record Industry Association’s Best Country Album prize in 2000.
Her second LP, 2001’s Barricades & Brickwalls, was another ARIA winner, taking prizes for Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Best Female Artist. It also featured the song “Not Pretty Enough,” which was a major hit in Australia and the U.K. and gained airplay in the United States.
