Genni Kane has been writing songs and performing them for over 40 years. She first found her feet as a songwriter with the legendary ARIA and multiple Golden Guitar winning 80’s band, Flying Emus. It was during this time that Genni discovered a love of writing in her own voice; writing about what she knew and experienced every day.
SELFIES
“Some singers act when they sing, frightened to expose themselves. Genni Kane builds a road of truth slap bang in the middle of her songs. Not a highway, mind, but a charming country road with overhanging trees, and at the destination you don’t just find Kane, you feel you get to know her as well, as if perhaps you had shared a couple of bottles of red wine with her.”

SONGS FROM THE KITCHEN TABLE
“Here is a sublime collection of 12 songs celebrating the complexity of ordinary daily life. Genni Kane, one-time lead singer with the Flying Emus, looks at her life and communicates with understated passion and integrity the deep emotional power that lies in everyday activities…Kane has crafted these everyday events into songs of great simplicity and unswerving honesty, and set them in a country/folk context. Intimate and deeply personal…The end result has the vocal beauty of Emmylou Harris and the sharp clarity of Loudon Wainwright III. Every track is memorable and moving…”
