^ Thanks for the find on C Barnett, derek4tide. Good stuff.
+2!
And she's an AUSSIE!
She plays the guitars in her songs.
I noticed the slide right away. I looked her up in Wiki:
Barnett grew up in
Sydney's
Northern Beaches. When she was 16, her family moved from Sydney to
Hobart. She attended St Michael's Collegiate School and
Tasmanian School of Art.[SUP]
[14][/SUP] Having grown up on American bands, she discovered Australian singer-songwriters
Darren Hanlon and Dan Kelly which inspired her to start writing songs. [SUP]
[15][/SUP] Barnett is openly
gay; and currently lives in Melbourne with her girlfriend
Jen Cloher. The two have been together since 2011.[SUP]
[16][/SUP] The song "Numbers" was written by Courtney and Jen about their relationship. Barnett's song "Pickles in the Jar" also details their relationship; and Cloher is mentioned by name in the first line of "Dead Fox."
Sounds like punk-rock a bit, eh?
