Felicity Dowd is a nomadic troubadour and storyteller spinning tales and melodies across the country. 2024 Toyota Starmaker Grand Finalist, Youth Artist of the Year at the Australian Folk Music Awards (2023), NSW Folk Federation Young Artist of the Year (2020) and Gill Rees Memorial Award winner at the 2023 National Folk Festival, Felicity Dowd is one of Australia’s most promising up-and-coming musicians!

Having wowed audiences across the country, from main stages at Australia’s most prestigious events (National Folk Festival, Wanderer Festival and Cobargo Folk Festival) to support slots with music royalty, the Bushwackers, Neil Murray (Warumpi Band), Josh Cunningham (The Waifs), Felicity Urquhart, Fanny Lumsden and Tex Perkins (The Cruel Sea), this artist is not to be missed!
