Lil' Fi www.lilfi.com/is one of the original roots music performers on the festival circuit today. She is a dynamic entertainer with a unique songwriting style. Calling on her musical heritage of the Classic womens blues era it was early on that she discovered (much to her surprise) that she is not a black American from the deep south, instead she is a white gal from the shores of Queenslands sugar cane country. Hence the drive to write her own take on life and her observations of it. 18 years later she is still proudly performing her original Australian roots/blues music. She's a bit of a wild card as she sings with an Australian twang, which was unheard of in the blues when she started out, (only a handful of people do this still). Nothing compares to the feel good energy of Lil' Fi. She genuinely believes in the healing power of music and this is very evident in all of Lil' Fi's shows.
Lil' Fi has always played with the finest musicians around. She has been known to play stand up drums draped in feather boas and flowers. The visual arts play a great part in Lil' Fi's music and is best showcased through her collaboration with Ellie Schlunke and her Canvas Concertos being an avenue for an incredible luminescent painted light show while the band plays. (see side projects).
Lil' Fi has been the convener of the Ladies Sing The Blues Festival in Brisbane for 10 years and also a co-founder of the Flannelettes, the ten piece a capella group. She is also a co-founder of the East-Coast Queen Bees (Australia finest women blues musicians all in the one band) and programmed the blues venue at Woodford Folk Festival from 1997 to 2001. Lil' Fi has been performing with legendary folk singer Margret RoadKnight in a sellout show called “Tribute to the Blues Mamasâ€. Every town that it has been to has screamed for more and a cd has recently been recorded Live at the Stonnington Jazz Festival, chapel off chapel 2008.
Lil' Fi has an enviable understanding of what makes music work and a voice that can blow light globes or charm angels. Her musical persona is displayed in her own material that delves into her dreams, phobias and domestic entanglements and she presents a stream of humorous, poignant and hard hitting songs....(Peter Dougherty DVL)
"What a performer.... Lil' Fi's halogen smile and exhilarating style soon lit up the room. She's a lass with sass all right, she slapped at the drums, banged on the piano, she lassoed the high notes, then got down mean and throaty. She's a spirit-raiser, with enough natural charisma to electrify a morticians' convention. Every toe was tapping to her original songs...." (John Jenkins EL)
