The last twelve months have witnessed a significant change of gears for Angie Hart.
After a relatively quietly decade based in Los Angeles, Angie (yes, she of Frente fame, member of Splendid, guest of Holidays on Ice) returned to her hometown of Melbourne at the end of 2005 to begin work in earnest on her first solo longplayer, ‘Grounded Bird’.
Produced by Justyn Pilbrow, ‘Grounded Bird’ exceeded expectations in its breadth of musical scope and ambition. Rather than re-tread her musical steps, Angie sought pastures new, writing with a swag of very highly regarded collaborators (Ben Lee, Craig Ross, Dean Manning and Dan Luscombe amongst others) and tackling issues of struggle, change and transformation within the challenging confines of the pop song.
With unanimous critical acclaim and a phone book’s worth of key print features, radio interviews and TV appearances, ‘Grounded Bird’ has rightly placed Angie back into the fold as one of Australia’s best loved singers and most respected songwriters.
Having travelled the East Coast sporadically with shows over the last six months, this February and March, Angie is thrilled to announce a full national tour, where she will be visiting all capital cities and finding time to visit many key regional spots too.
It’s pleasing to note that the likes of APRA and Port Fairy Folk Festival have also recognised Angie’s considerable skills as a songwriter, and have invited Angie to take part in songwiting workshops in Adelaide as part of the Fuse Songwriting Workshop and also at Port Fairy Folk Festival.
