about Audrey Auld
"a singer-songwriter with smarts and a distinct vision who's capable of heartfelt sorrow or off-kilter humor'' ~ Austin Chronicle
Audrey Auld hails from Tasmania, Australia. She was raised on Dixieland Jazz and classical violin, and later developed a passion for traditional country music.
With 10+ years of touring and 7 albums in her swag, Audrey has found her own voice as a singer, and as a songwriter. You'll hear her country and folk musical influences, but her lyrics are what sets her apart; she's funny, political, irreverent and heartfelt.
Audrey's show features original songs, both poignant and wry, that will seem familiar by the end of the evening. She delivers acoustic ballads with a soulfulness that transcends any specific genre. Her set is interspersed with hilarious tales told with an Australian tongue-in-cheek.
Audrey was a winner of the Chris Austin Song Contest at MerleFest 2006 in North Carolina and has recorded with or performed live with Buddy Miller, Fred Eaglesmith, Bill Chambers, Nina Gerber, Mary Gauthier, Kieran Kane and Carrie Rodriguez.
Audrey Auld is a joy to watch on stage. She loves to perform, and it shows in every song she sings.
"Audrey is the real deal. I call her the Australian songbird. She has that wide-open sound & it's easy to relate to her music because she sings from the soul."Â ~Jimmy La Fave
