Before I start with this bio, I just want to warn you that this is not your conventional Bio. I will let you know my basic chronological history, accolades etc…but they will be told with no fuss and all truth and bare bones. I am the artist, singer song writer Lou Bradley. I am a girl, in case the name threw you. I was born in Avalon Sydney, and moved to the hills of Mullumbimby on the far north coast of NSW in 2000 after my sister died. I have played music forever. My earliest memory of performing is when i was four years old, singing Marcia Hines songs into a cigarette lighter to a bunch of drunk English men on a train. I left home when i was 15. I moved to Redfern Sydney with my fellow band members at the time and we played in every pub on every corner of Sydney. I was the only girl in the band and was always snuck in until it was time to go on stage. Moving right along….I now have a family ( I married the guitarist in my band ). I started writing songs when we moved to Mullum and when i had 6 good ones, I recorded an EP at a local studio in Byron Bay. Just after I had finished the EP I saw in the paper that John Butler was starting a grant offering funds for original music - the JB Seed. I decided to enter, and was lucky enough to be accepted. He gave me money to tour the NT. It was so awesome. JB is my friend to this day! So I decided to take this all a little more seriously and recorded a full length album. I think my first inroads to the country music scene come from The Chambers family. I remember Bill telling me I was old time country sounding. I only had ever heard of Dolly Parton in the country world but figured they must know what they're talking about, so I wrote a whole bunch of country mountain songs and went and found a producer that was good. I recorded my debut album Love Someone produced by Rod McCormack For some miraculous reason, it was nominated for an ARIA. I have had fantastic reviews for all of my work so far from major newspapers and mags…… I still don't believe it as I write this! Since then, I have released 2 other albums and am about to release a third in January 2015. My second album, La La La Not Listening was produced by Shane Nicholson and my most recent one that I have released in 2014, The Other Side produced by Anthony Lycenko. The Other Side is perhaps the the other side of my usual work....It has just been nominated for a Golden Guitar for Best Alt Country Album!!!! The one I'm about to release is called Moonshine. It is a completely live album recorded and produced by Bill Chambers at Bill Chambers' house with Bill Chambers, Phillip Chaffer and me sitting in a circle playing my songs. That's it. No bullshit! So this is me. I'm back to grass roots. I believe that my songs make people feel good. They are honest and rich and full of timeless melody and lyric . I think that is all that matters in music. So if you are into music in that way then please listen and enjoy……
