Kate Lush is a soulful singer & songwriter, a dreamer, a poet & writer, a teacher, a mother, she is a lover of coffee, cooking, chocolate, funny movies, her friends, her Blue Heeler Cattle Dog (Willow) & her garden - the earth and the ocean. She is sensitive, sporty, quirky, she’s funny, intuitive, poetic, sometimes soft, sometimes full on, but above all always a passioneer for living life to the full.
In the early phase of writing the songs Lush sat down and delved into the genres of all her old favorites from the Blues, Soul, Rock, Singer/Songwriter & Jazz. This process helped shape the vision for this album, especially to recover some lost sounds and influences from her childhood, particularly from bands like Jackson Brown, Fleetwood Mack, Bob Seger, Michael McDonald, Jo Cocker, Dylan, Al Green, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Crowded House, Cold Chisel, Renee Geyer, Bonnie Raitt and other Jazz faves to name just a few.
Her first album earned her * Best Female from the US IAMA (Indepenant Acoustic Music Awards), * Best International at US SAW (Songwriters Association of Washington & in her Sydney home town the * ASA Rudy Brandsma Award (Aust. Songwriters Assoc) for Songwriting Excellence as well as Gibson Guitar & the French 100% songwriting comp.
