Brooke Austen

Brooke Austen sings the way a good storyteller talks, gently, and with every detail given its place. The Brisbane singer-songwriter writes soulful, vocal-led songs that mix city sounds with a small-town feel, and they tend to leave a room feeling warm. Her covers reach across generations too, with Harry Styles, Fleetwood Mac and Crowded House all part of the set. It's music for listening as much as for background, so she fits an intimate dinner, a ceremony or a relaxed afternoon where guests will notice the lyrics.
