Award winning songwriter Alana Wilkinson continues to emerge as one of the most loved artists on the Australian folkscene. 2024 is making a memorable mark for Wilkinson - kicking off with standing ovations at Woodford Folk Festival, completing an extensive Festival of Small Halls tour with Scottish fiddler Ryan Young, touring theatres with Aussie rock legend Ross Wilson and heading to the US for an official showcase at Folk Alliance International. Combining delicate melodies with disarmingly insightful vignettes about the human condition, Wilkinson is a smiling assassin. Her songs skewer ex-lovers, would-be suitors, ridiculous social norms and the absurd challenges of a suburban upbringing in a merciless, yet strangely affectionate way, leaving audiences feeling like they’re sitting in her living room, chatting about life over a steaming cuppa.
