Caitlin Harnett
Biography
2009 has been a busy year for delicate Sydney Singer/Songwriter Caitlin Harnett. Caitlin released her debut EP ‘Tiny Spark’ which was recorded with Matt Fell at Love Hz Studio. The independently released EP features five beautifully crafted original songs and a lilting version of the Johnny Cash and June Carter classic Jackson.
"Tiny Spark is a beautiful testament to just how lovely an acoustic guitar and melodic vocals can be" Brag Magazine
Caitlin is just 19 years old, but the maturity and credibility of her songwriting has quickly captured the attention of audiences and music industry insiders. Caitlin won the Young Songwriter Award at the Apollo Bay Music and early this year was selected to perform at the Port Fairy Folk Festival. Caitlin regularly performs around the Sydney Live music scene.
The EP has achieved great success with all 5 original songs being used in prime time Australian Commercial television programs. Another song will soon feature in an upcoming Australian film. Earlier this year Caitlin was shortlisted for the prestigious APRA Professional Development Awards. 2009 has seen her tour with Angie Hart, Karl Broadie, The Wildes, Paul Greene and The Huckleberry Swedes.
Caitlin has a natural stage presence that draws you in and a beautiful voice that compels you to listen. Her performances reveal a wisdom and warmth that belies her youth. Hard to categorise, her songs have a touch of pop, the lilt of folk, the honesty of country, and suggests early-life exposure to somebody's really good record collection.
"Caitlin Harnett is one of the freshest talents I've heard in a long time. Her EP is extraordinarily good. I'm sure that an enormous career is going to grow from this Tiny Spark" - Jeff Jenkins (Inpress, RRR)
"Every now and then you run across an artist who you feel, rather than hear. I closed my eyes, and her music took me away. Yes, I heard it, but I also felt it which is a rare thing. Tim Daley XYZ Networks
