30/Nov/06 Gig news in Oz for December
By Chiara Browne, On Jan/04/2008

hello again...it has been a busy few months and Ive been playing plenty of gigs thank God and have started offically studying the piano. All in all life has been getting on with or without me and I'm hoping the new songs will come from all of it. Ive been recently working with Paul Brady again recording a song that he wrote with irish composer Ronan Hardiman. Great to have met Ronan and to be in the studio with two of Irelands best songwriters. I wish them well with the project. Paul is also playing some dates in Australia that I think you all need & deserve to go and see. He is in Melbourne & Sydney in December. Check out my links for details. Im also writing the music for a new short play written by my nearest & dearest Dara Clear. The play will be delivered to Sydney based actress Sara Browne(winner of Newtown's Short n Sweet Theatre festival) in the coming weeks as we hope there will be a opportunity for it to be performed by her in Australia. Best wishes to you all. chiarax

By Chiara Browne, On Jan/04/2008

Sadly after more then 3years at Whelan's on a Tuesday Nite, the gig has come to an end. Its been a great musical learning curve for me. Working with Aengus & Stefan was always a great weekly ritual. Something all practicing musicians love is a residency gig. I hope Whelans will miss us and for those on staff who were good to us,many thanks. I have plans now to record some of our 'hits & misses'...watch this space.

CHIARA BROWNE

“Browne has star quality in spades. A voice to melt the hardest of hearts… she’s a formidable talent” Colm O’ Hare (Hot Press)

       Australian singer-songwriter Chiara Browne signed to Warner Chappell Music when she was 18 and was swiftly moved to Nashville where she spent time writing and developing her style. She recalls seeing snow for the first time in Nashville falling on a guitar shaped swimming pool! Although her material is tinged with a country flavour her music is diverse and likened to “bluesy singers like Bonnie Raitt & Janis Joplin” (Hot Press).

         Her return to Sydney saw Chiara enjoy a successful period of performance and collaboration with many established Australian acts such as Steve Clark (Died Pretty), Tania Bowra, and Jackie Orszaczky & Tina Harrod. She moved to Ireland via the UK where she co-wrote with Boo Hewerdine (The Bible, Eddi Reader). She has played solo at the Edinburgh Festival and several London venues and with her band has played festivals around Ireland including Hooves & Grooves and Rhythm & Roots. Regular support slots have seen Chiara play with Declan O’Rourke, Damien Dempsey, Grada, Roesy, Gail Davies, Sonny Condell and most recently Gretchen Wilson. AboutFace Theatre Company commissioned Chiara to write and produce original music for two of their critically acclaimed plays, Featuring Loretta and The Laramie Project.

    Chiara Browne & her band, The Rose Ponies, have independently released two ep’s that prompted renowned broadcaster and musicologist PJ Curtis to say: “She is a serious talent. I would have no problem playing ALL the tracks because I love it. This woman gets better with each listen”.

     Names that frequently emerge in relation to Chiara’s voice and music are Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crowe, Gillian Welch, Julie London and even Thom Yorke!

         In April 2006, Chiara was invited to tour with songwriter Paul Brady as his support guest for 18 dates around Ireland. Not long into the tour Chiara shared the stage with Paul & his stella band for vocals & percussion as the the final songs were played. Chiara has since been in the studio with Paul Brady & songwriter/composer Ronan Hardiman.

     July 2006, saw the independent release the of Chiara’s eagerly anticipated debut album which she has co-produced with her drummer Sean Devitt (The Devlins, Daniel Lanois). The album is the culmination not only of Chiara’s emergence as a creative force that refuses to be ignored but also a vindication of her decision to come and base herself in Ireland six years ago. Testament to this is the roster of Irish musical talent that graces the new album: the aforementioned Sean Devitt; Bill Shanley (Mary Black, Paul Brady); Garvan Gallagher (Scullion, Sonny Condell); Mick McCarney (Sean Keane); Bob McDonnell; Aengus Devine; Michelle Mason (Declan O’Rourke) and Jim O’Neill (Today FM).

    The new album contains eleven tracks that have been created on a journey of love, sweat and soul. They will bear the touch and interpretation of an artist whose influences have demanded a fidelity to the power and source that is true songcraft.
