Performance Time - Friday 5th June @ 2pm • Saturday 6th June @ 5pm • Sunday 7th June 1pm 

Rachael’s hard-line but delicate folk songs have been captivating fans across the globe since the release of her debut album "Peace by Peace" in 2006 which she independently recorded (and released) with producer/engineer Paul Bromley at the helm, bass player for award winning Australian bands "george" and “The Beautiful Girls”. 

Following the album’s release she was invited to play 3 weeks of shows across the USA where the album still receives airplay on a number of independent radio stations. She has been regularly featured on Triple J Unearthed and touted as an artist to watch. 

Late 2007 saw the offer of a mercifully short lived record deal with which came the realization that she wanted to create her own label in the tradition of fellow independents Ani DiFranco and John Butler among others. So, in January 2008, she and her husband established "Motherwort Music". 

A self described peaceful revolutionary, she has a strong social and spiritual conscience not unlike that of predecessor Joan Baez to whom she is often compared more for her socio-political ethics than her sound. Brady is driven to say something worthwhile, and if not worthwhile then certainly something about which she is passionate. She's an artist dedicated not only to making meaningful music but to cultivating and maintaining a genuine sense of compassion, peace and wisdom and it is clearly reflected in her art which beautifully balances whimsy and seriousness with equal parts perception and intuition. Vocally, her instrument is delightfully unique; vulnerable, powerful, openhearted and simply beautiful to listen to - sometimes a hurricane and sometimes as delicate as the smoke that drifts and curls off a stick of incense.
