Jenny Gaunt is a songwriter and musician from Perth. She has a folk/alternative style has been described as “hauntingly beautiful”. Releasing her debut solo EP, her songs are carried by guitar, keys and cello also supported by bass, percussion, banjo, clarinet and glockenspiel. Jenny is a multi-instrumentalist with a social conscience. Personal, authentic, mixing the lighthearted with the melancholy with a focus on feeling. Jenny’s experience touring Europe, Australia and within the West Australian folk scene has well prepared her to step out solo. She mixes a proven love of storytelling with raw feeling to create her new songs. A road trip to the North of Western Australia led Jenny to write song ‘Complete’, about being connected to a land so red and a sky so blue it takes your breath away. The accompanying music video features footage from this journey.

‘As always we are also looking for up and coming artists to do a few numbers for the audience’, Keith added.
