Music

At the National Folk Festival in Canberra, Katie chats to Canadian singer-songwriter Ruth Moody about the band she has brought to Australia for her current tour (Anthony da Costa on guitar and vocals and Ben Plotnick on fiddle and viola), moving permanently to British Columbia after several years spent dividing her time between Nashville and Canada, her 2024 album Wanderer, the effects of the COVID pandemic on musicians’ creativity and mental health, and more. There are also stunning new songs by artists who are just starting out, mid-career artists, and dead-set legends of the scene. Here is the playlist:

• My Heroics – Joyce Prescher & Lachlan Bryan
• Baby Steps – Abbey Lane
• Michigan – Ruth Moody
• Loves Me Like a Rock – The Wailin’ Jennys
• Gallipoli – Tim Withano
• When You Were Mine – Alisa Xayalith
• mannalargenna – Shane Howard ft. Bart Willoughby & David Bridie
