EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT PERFORMING AT THE ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL!
LATEST REVIEW from Mark Fraser, Redback Rock Magazine
From the forthcoming album spring these two little teasers. Starry Night kicks in with a kind of country-dirged guitar, before slipping into its smooth, swimming layers.
A lazy air with sweetly serrated guitars sitting back in the mix and Elliots seductive vox slinking into the wafting void.
Beautiful strings and a sad warmth that has hit single written all over it!
Little Things is a lot darker in its own semi-epic way. Brooding vocals that pull a darkish folk essence and some indulgent dynamics into the equation while obviously showcasing the harder edge of the Jude Elliot sword.

we have had some GREAT GIGS across Australia with some of my favourite artists and have an album release coming soon so check my guide for more info!
my music evolves from ideas that sit with me for weeks at a time and most often just spill out onto the page in short bursts. it's an ecclectic combination of my voice, classical strings, earthy percussion and intricate piano and guitars. i love live sounds and energy and use it as much as possible in the recording process. i've been writing from a very young age and tend to write poetically rather than commercially, though these things are beginning to sit hand in hand.
i've performed (in the past year) alongside musicians like evermore (in pianos in new york), tyrone noonan, jon stevens, jon auer (USA), hawksley workman (canada), teddy thompson (usa) clare bowditch and the feeding set, kate miller-heidke and have performed in california, new york and all over australia. my music moves from acoustic to pop rock, like "thirteen" and I also do vocal sessions for electronic music producers.
my main music influences are jeff buckley, madonna, alanis morissette, george, elixir, kenny's window, coldplay, elbow, sarah mclachlan, hildegard von bingen, kronos quartet, ute lemper, and lots lots more. my main writing influences are virginia woolf, jeanette winterson, sylvia plath and micheal cunningham. i see myself as a writer who happens to be a musician, words for me are a puzzle to piece together for each and every song.
other things about me are that i love the wilderness, yoga, travelling, live music, reading, my lovely home environment and of course being a musician. i'm a UNICEF global parent and also support PETA and the ONE campaign. links to these sites are on my main website.
i hope you enjoy, feel free to join my friend's list, leave a comment or message me :)
