LYNN HAZELTON
Raised on the Goldfields, fostered through Freo folk and finely-tuned by Kimberley country, Hazelton proudly hails from the one-horse town of Boulder, WA, not Colorado, USA. Making up ‘hums’ as the barefoot kid of a station cook, then moving on to a six stringer in their trusty caravan, she never dreamt her little tunes would get her on track to see the world. Since then, she has notched up 18 commissions, 11 awards, 4 Stars in the Scotsman and a couple of Isa Browns in a pub raffle. She has played her way to the international stage through an invite to Edinburgh Festival with virtuoso guitar duo Desert Child. Producing and writing with artists like the inimitable Peter Brandy and songbird Jennifer Renee, Lynn is also passionate about growing connection whenever and wherever she can. She has even devised a term for her community cultural development work called the ‘art of songing’, which is to work alongside each person or place to help each find the singer in their unique song and the song in each individual singer, no matter their art form or passion.
