"Her music is born of red earth... and the kind of skies you see nowhere else in the world"
- John Schumann, Red Gum
The songwriter
Jeanette Wormald’s voice resonates with the essence of Australia. Jeanette is a singer and songwriter — and her evocative songs capture her passion for and understanding of the Australian bush with a mastery few others have achieved.
With five albums to her credit, Jeanette Wormald has won national and international radio airplay and critical acclaim for her voice and her original songs inspired by the Australian landscape.
“It was Jeanette’s voice that first turned my head. Her resonating truly Australian flavour encapsulates the Australian Bush and helps to tell stories showing a deep understanding and experience rare to storytellers.
Not confined or restricted to a particular style, Jeanette’s obvious love of the Australian Outback from the red deserts to the lush rainforests, from the opalescent seas of the north to the rugged, scoured coastlands of the turbulent southern oceans come alive in passionate songs.”
MICK HODGKINS Tablelands Folk Festival
The sisterhood of song
Eight women have come together to share a love of music and harmony and to celebrate the power of song to carry us, to hold us and unite us.
The Sisterhood of Song is an acapella group, singing songs with messages of hope, of love and the power of the human spirit.
Their performances, often accompanied by a harp, are a celebration of harmony, of connection and the resonance that is created when we sing together.
Our voices must be used for good – especially in a world that sometimes feels like it is tearing itself apart.
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” —Plato
The Jeanette Wormald Trio
Jeanette Wormald's original songs are brought to life through the Jeanette Wormald Trio. A powerful stage presence and skilled musicians combine to take listeners on a musical journey through shades of folk, roots, jazz and blues into Australia’s heartland. Joined by renowned Tablelands musicians’ Dave Hart on upright double bass and Paul Vandersar on lead guitar and harmony vocals, the trio delivers a quality, memorable performance.
" Thank you Jeanette to you and the band. What a beautiful tribute to Judith Durham and the standing ovation was well deserved. A wonderful finale..."
Julie Heskins
The HONEY JOYS
Three women who shared a love of nectar sweet harmonies shone for a short time before careers took them to different parts of Australia. Jeanette, Sophie and Tahnee have decades of professional expertise, national and international touring experience as individual artists. Together they brought this experience to a whole new level exploring shades of folk, bluegrass and roots influences.
Watch this space - they may return.
" Love your harmonies and your vibe. Just beautiful ladies."
