DAISY KILBOURNE

Part of the Port Ferry (AUS) International Showcase.

Daisy Kilbourne is a soul-stirring artist hailing from the spirited small town of Daylesford, with a heart firmly rooted in the music of the '70s. Born into a musical family, Daisy's talent and love for song run deep, inspired by the legacy of her late father, Wayne Kilbourne, a revered songwriter and multi- instrumentalist. Her journey through grief after her father’s passing has shaped her as an artist, with music becoming both a refuge and a means of healing.

Daisy’s sound is a modern reflection of her influences — a rich blend of folk, rock, and soul, mixed with haunting vocals, that evokes the raw emotion of the Laurel Canyon scene. Her introspective lyrics transform personal stories of love, loss, and life into a universal language that invites listeners into a space
of deep connection.

Having supported renowned artists like Adalita, Dan Sultan, Kyle Lionhart, and Damien Rice, Daisy has already made her mark on the music scene. She has graced stages at esteemed events such as the Port Fairy Folk Festival and the National Folk Festival, captivating audiences with her powerful performances. Now with her backing band, The Chains, Daisy can shape her sets to suit venues and events, whether that’s solo, duo, or with the full band.

With an Album on the horizon, her audience can expect a collection of heartfelt, contemplative tunes that blend storytelling with an unmistakable rawness — the kind that stays with you long after the music fades.
