Having performed with the likes of Kate Ceberano, Katie Noonan, Felix Riebl (The Cat Empire), Iva Davies and Tania Doko to name a few, As a session musician her guitar playing has been heard on countless recordings, in orchestra pits for many musical theatre productions, and on major festival stages all around the country.

"I am always keeping my ear out for players that transport me...Kathleen is one of those rare finds.”

With infectious enthusiasm and electrifying fretboard flare to match, be there to witness Kathleen Halloran take flight. Her debut single ‘Free with me’ is infectious, with soaring melodies, youthful freshness and an evocation of heritage Australian rock.
On lead vocals as well as her signature blues-drenched guitar, the track is engineered by some of the country’s finest technicians - Ben Edgar (Gotye, Angus and Julia Stone, Matt Corby) and produced by Ross Irwin (Bamboos, Cat Empire, Paul Kelly). ‘Free with Me’ is going to solidly establish Kathleen front and centre as one of the country’s brightest new musical stars, not only as one of the most sought-after rhythm players, but as an entertainer and musical leader.
