Jo has just independently released her Debut Album "Magical Garden". Featuring 13 of her finest songs, "Bundanoon" and "Red Shiny Shoes" have already proved radio favourites on ABC Illawarra, VoxFM, 2ST and Highland FM.

Songs such as “Bundanoon” are fun autobiographical ditties, whilst “Refugee” and “Pioneer Lady” submit more serious passions close to her heart.

She has played along side the likes of Steve Prestwich (Cold Chisel), Shane Pacey (Bondi Cigars) and will soon support Paul Greene.

Accompanied by her acoustic guitar, Jo’s songs are a folk/roots mix with a distinct Australian flavour.

Jo grew up around music with a violin teaching mother. She studied piano, but switched to guitar when her father conceded she “couldn’t drag a piano on a trip around Australia”.

She first performed as a singer/songwriter/guitarist at 16.

She moved from her parents’ quiet South Coast rural retreat to the busy streets of Kings Cross, where she busked to support herself as a journalism student.

It wasn’t long before she had her first gig in a dimly lit little Jazz bar called Round Midnight in The Cross. There, she showcased her raw, unique talent and song writing ability, moving a sceptical city audience, somewhat unaccustomed to the profound, honest sound of a young acoustic songstress from the bush.
