Isobel Knight

Isobel Knight writes and plays songs where the venn diagram circles of Julia Jacklin and Bruce Springsteen cross over. Growing from playing cafes and street corners in her hometown on Dharug country in the Blue Mountains to playing shows and festival slots around the world, her heart-stopping voice, ear-worm melodies and lyricism have carried her pop-and-soul-influenced folk music into hearts and charts, with her sophomore "Here Now" debuting at #5 in the independent album charts. She's been called a Metronome Magazine (US) 'Act To Watch', a Quadio (US) Artist of The Day and has opened for Jordan Ireland (former frontman of ausfolk legends The Middle East), Grace Cummings and Lisa Mitchell, as well as performing at Dashville’s ‘The Gum Ball’, Blue Mountains Music Festival, Modstock (US), Porchfest (US) and Illawarra Folk Festival, among others. After touring Australia in April 2023, she is touring the US in the trio format of her band, meaning she's joined on stage by award-winning guitar teacher and soft-hearted songwriter Solomon Steele, and multi-instrumentalist classical-crossover champion Esther Lukins.
