Folk duo, Freight Train Foxes are built around the talents of Queensland songwriters, Pat Kenny and Kelsey Berrington. Armed with the sonic influences of Passenger and The Lumineers, the pair wield their unique brand of suburban acoustic folk that manages to both wound and soothe simultaneously.
Freight Train Foxes were finalists at the 2023 Queensland Music Awards for ‘Best Folk Song’ and their impressive catalogue of music continues to garner praise from critics and fans. The duo have released five EPs in five years, amassed over 3 million streams, and boasted stirring performances at some of Australia’s most iconic music festivals. Freight Train Foxes have performed on stages at Woodford Folk Festival, BIGSOUND, the Gympie Muster, and AmericanaFest in Nashville, Tennessee.
Pat was an Army Officer before making an abrupt switch to songwriting, while Kelsey had a background as a circus performer before taking up music full-time. The songwriting partnership emerged from a chance encounter at an open mic, and has continued to develop out of a mutual admiration for their shared songwriting heroes.
