Bio
darby is a multi-disciplinary artist- she can often be seen scribbling on napkins in bars, or body parts of her contemporaries around the inner west of Sydney before and after hopping on stage to sing stories of Parisian romance, German art galleries and the studies of her inner pondering.
Her playful and expressive guitar style derivative of the likes of Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell and Blake Mills. Her debut album recorded with her trio of long time collaborators/ fellow songwriters, and producer Ryan K Brennan of the indie rock group Phantastic Ferniture illuminates darby’s candour and aptitude for story telling as well her ability to build new roads amidst the existing indie folk rock landscape.
The group has attracted attention from some of the industry's leading bookers which saw them front the main stage of Oxford Art Factory in 2019 as well as supporting Triple J album of the year winner Tia Gostelow and Shane Howard of the infamous 70s Aussie rock group Goanna.
The band launched their first studio effort to two sold out shows at the Vanguard in September earlier this year.

Sometimes, there are songs so great that the air stands still, and the world stops to listen in. They're written by darby, and they should be illegal if they weren't so good.
You make me cry, darby!
Cry at your brilliance.
Cry at the beauty you continue to create with your music.
