Biography:

Kasey Chambers, a native of Australia, is an alt-country singer who came to international fame with the release of her 2001 album Barricades & Brickwalls. Chambers is extremely popular in Australia having had three consecutive albums hit number one on Australian album charts.

Chambers grew up in rural Australia where her family camped on the Nullarbor Plain for the first nine years of her life. Once the family “re-entered” civilization, her parents picked their music up where they had left it, putting Kasey out front as the lead singer of the family band, which also included her brother, Nash. After her parents split up, thus splitting up the family band, Kasey decided to record her first solo album, which later appeared on ____ as The Captain.

The album did well in Australia and allowed her two high profile tours with Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris. After those tours Chambers settled back down to record her sophomore album, Barricades & Brickwalls, which was a huge seller in Australia and raised her profile in the U.S. Chambers has since released Wayward Angel and Carnival, in 2004 and 2006, respectively.
