Who is Fanny Lumsden? 2x ARIA and 9x CMAA Golden Guitar winning Australian artist Fanny Lumsden "has established herself as one of the genre's most esteemed performers" (The Australian) with her brand new album HEY DAWN having just taken out the 2023 ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) for Best Country Album (presented by Dolly Parton) and debuting at #1 on the Australian Album ARIA charts, making this her second album in a row to crack the ARIA global top ten. Fanny is continuing to break the rules and confirming herself as "undoubtedly the brightest new (country) star of the current era" (Capital News). Following up her "breakthrough" album Fallow, which took out an ARIA, 5x CMAA (Country Music Association of Australia) Golden Guitars and AIR (Australian Independent Record Labels Assoc) Country Album of the Year, Fanny is widely known for her regional Country Halls Tour and has recently taken her joyous, energetic and brilliant live show to debut in the UK to a packed Avalon Stage at Glastonbury. Wrapping up her 'Hey Dawn Tour' which sold out shows through NZ, Ireland, UK and theatres across Australia, HEY DAWN "confirms Fanny as a distinctive storyteller, and an indelible personality who can win over fans in or outside of country music" (Doug Wallan, The Australian).
