Tracey Barnett is a powerhouse singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who delivers raw, emotionally charged performances that strike straight to the core. Masterfully blending the grit of blues, the energy of rock, and the storytelling of folk, she creates an immersive sonic experience that feels both immediately gripping and hauntingly unforgettable.
Hailing from Bridgetown—the spiritual heart of blues and roots in South West Western Australia—Tracey has spent over 17 years carving out a formidable presence on the national stage. Choosing to remain a completely independent solo force, she transforms into a seamless one-woman band live on stage. Her signature large live sound is fueled by a driving acoustic guitar, soaring harmonica hooks, a relentless stomp-box rhythm, and a commanding vocal range that creates a deeply intimate bond with her audience.
Tracey's distinct musicality has earned her widespread acclaim, including a West Australian Music Industry (WAM) Award and a string of WAM Song of the Year nominations. Her music has broken onto national airwaves with rotation across triple j Unearthed, the ABC, and community radio networks.
With a celebrated discography that includes two EPs, three full-length albums, and a catalog of standout singles—including the breakout track Gotta Get Out—she has proven herself a resilient, adaptive fixture of the Australian live music landscape.
Now, Tracey enters her most definitive artistic era yet with her highly anticipated fourth major album release, Resilience. Available on Tracey Barnett's Bandcamp and all major streaming services from October 3rd 2026, Resilience captures the songwriter at the peak of her powers. Written and recorded during a period of immense personal and creative growth, the album is a testament to its title—interweaving gritty roots-driven blues with atmospheric, alternative textures.
