Adelaide based songstress, Courtney Robb writes simple songs about complex things: love, belonging and freedom. Her honest and thoughtful lyrics can break your heart but quickly mend it again when they are woven with her purposefully delicate guitar and timeless melodies, creating a unique blend of indie-folk.

Recently she set off around the country, guitar in hand. From Western and Central Australia to regional Victoria, Courtney continued to gain fans wherever she set foot. Choosing to immerse herself in the culture of some of the most remote towns in Australia as well as the capital cities was a huge source of inspiration for her song writing and something which she is keen to experience again.

Just last year Courtney found herself on the bill for Red Desert Live08 in Broken Hill, performing alongside Australian blues & roots greats Jeff Lang and Blue King Brown as well as rising country music stars The McClymonts.

For now Courtney settles happily back in Adelaide, one of the places where she truly feels at home. Connecting with her audience the only way she knows how, through intensely personal music and through a steady stream of heartfelt performances.

And with talk of gathering a band for her live shows as well as a much anticipated new recording, 2009 is set to be a busy and exciting year for this unique artist.
