ABOUT

Educated on the stage alongside Australia’s biggest names, guitarist for the stars Kathleen Halloran is now stepping out of the shade into her own spotlight. 

Currently supporting Ash Grunwald while balancing an always-demanding schedule of live and session performances, including Jon Steven’s and Kate Ceberano’s sold out “Superstars Live” national tour, Kathleen is a familiar name to the Australian contemporary music landscape. Widely known for her swaggering guitar mastery and effervescent, bright onstage expressions.

She’s shared the stage with the likes of Kate Ceberano, Jon Stevens, Katie Noonan, Felix Riebl (The Cat Empire), Mahalia Barnes, Ricki-Lee and Tania Doko to name a few. An artist that “whole heartedly delivers with conviction so strong you’re lost in each moment” now commences her journey from virtuosic side-woman to solo artist.

"I am always keeping my ear out for players that transport me...Kathleen is one of those rare finds.”

With the irresistible spirit and electrifying fretboard flare that as the industry talking, get ready to witness Kathleen Halloran take flight. Her debut single ‘Free with me’ is infectious, with soaring melodies, youthful freshness and an evocation of heritage Australian rock. Available  on all streaming platforms NOV 29th. 

On lead vocals as well as her signature blues-drenched guitar, the track is engineered by some of the country’s finest technicians - Ben Edgar (Gotye, Angus and Julia Stone, Matt Corby) and produced by Ross Irwin (Bamboos, Cat Empire, Paul Kelly). ‘Free with Me’ is going to solidly establish Kathleen front and centre as one of the country’s brightest new musical stars, not only as one of the most sought-after rhythm players, but as an entertainer and musical leader. 

‘A true, modern day artist with captivating stories to tell’
