Ruth Hazleton

Named ‘Artist of the Year’ (Solo) at the 2021 Australian Folk Music Awards, Ruth Hazleton is one of Australia’s most highly regarded folk singers, songwriters and interpreters of traditional song.

With a career spanning over twenty-five years, Ruth began her solo journey in 2019, releasing the album 'Daisywheel' - a lyrical voyage of history, struggle and resilience in song. A new album is set for release mid-2023.

Equipped with an electric guitar tuned to DADGAD and a 5-string banjo, Ruth’s repertoire features a mixture of traditional, original, acoustic and electric material, with electronic overtones, steeped in folklore and presented through a keenly critical contemporary lens. Ruth will be accompanied by Melbourne musician Fiona Steele on guitars and vocals. "...compelling and intimately fierce" (Living Tradition - UK).
