Overview
Dark. Intense. Melodic.
Gabrielle Kerr is a rising Bat Prince of folk. Hailing from Kabi Kabi country, the young raconteur is an old soul watching this new world spin. Her introspective lyrics will draw you in as the songbird's melodies are crowed with hints of folk, Americana, blues, Celtic and rock. Telling tales of life, death and all things in between. Often painting vignettes of feminine wrath or other such 'unseemly' emotions; her music is coloured by her love of mythology, poetry, and theatre.
She shares the howling, haunting lyricism of Hozier, is inspired by the theatrics of Florence and the Machine, and is a melodic enchantress like Aurora. No stranger to the stage she’s performed at festivals such as Coondoo Mountain Midwinter Campout, Rockhampton River Festival, Strawberry Sounds Fest, Moondoll and Woodfordia's Small Halls Festival. Monsters, a song of self-acceptance, was Gabrielle’s first TV placement on American-Canadian comedy-drama, You Me Her. Secured after she received a Nashville songwriting scholarship during her Bachelor of Popular Music at the Queensland Conservatorium.
The multi-instrumentalist is constantly honing her craft and venturing further into the wilds of her mind drawing poetry from blooded soil and melodies from the hollows in her soul.
