About Kasey Chambers
In 2000, Kasey Chambers emerged as Australia's first successful country-to-rock crossover female singer. It was just the latest chapter in a unique 25-year life journey.
Kasey spent the first nine years of life living with her family on the Nullabor. Each night out on the Nullarbor, after a day's hunting, the family would camp in a different spot on that vast Australian landmark singing country music, by the glow of the campfire, under the stars.
In 1986, the family returned to "civilization" so that her parents could pick up interrupted music careers. First, Kasey joined them as lead singer, then brother Nash, and they became known as the Dead Ringer Band.
By 1992, the family had become full-time musicians, playing to city audiences as well as heading back out into the countryside. During the '90s, the Dead Ringer Band released seven CDs and collectively earned two ARIAs (Australian Grammys) and seven Gold Guitars at the annual Australian Country Music Awards in Tamworth.
Kasey became the face of the new generation in Australian country. In 1998, her world was turned upside down with the separation of her parents. Kasey started putting her feelings into songs in 1998 recorded her first solo album. The album The Captain won the 1999 ARIA award for Best Country Album and then at the 2000 awards earned her Best Female Artist.
With double-platinum sales at home in Australia, Kasey spent the latter part of 2000 following up enthusiastic reviews for her album internationally. She also spent time touring the U.S.
In 2002 she release her next album Barricades & Brickwalls. The album was a multi-platinum success in Australia and significantly raised her profile in the United States. After a two-year layoff, during which Chambers and her husband, Aussie singer/songwriter Shane Nicholson, had a baby, she released her third solo disc, Wayward Angel, in the fall of 2004.
Two years later, Kasey's song "The Hard Way" was featured in an episode of the ABC adventure drama Lost. Her latest album is Carnival which was released in September 2006.
