About the artist
Graced with vulnerable yet powerful vocals, Jo Davie offers up genuine storytelling. Winner of the 2024 Carol Lloyd Award, Jo graduated from the Queensland Conservatorium with the University Medal before bursting onto the Australian scene as runner-up Folk Alliance Young Artist of the Year. Jo has since won audiences across Australia, becoming a regular on the Australian festival circuit, supporting artists like Ball Park Music, Megan Washington, and Katie Noonan, gaining recognition as lead vocalist of Cigány Weaver (2 x NLMA nominations), and touring internationally with Asha Jefferies.
Jo’s performances are breathtakingly intimate, with her debut EP ‘Nothing Comes Free’ (2025, produced by Sam Cromack) weaving love, loss, and impermanence into lush storytelling that strikes the perfect balance between vulnerability and power. She celebrated the release with an eight-date headline tour, generating coverage across prominent playlists, radio stations, and music publications. With her unique blend of technical mastery and emotional depth, Jo Davie continues to establish herself as an essential voice in Australia’s contemporary folk landscape.
