Barb Waters and her band at The Lomond Hotel

Barb Waters has been a feature of the music landscape for many decades. Through her work with Chris Wilson’s Crown of Thorns, The Hollowmen, and fronting her bands, the Rough Diamonds, Bad Audrey and the Mothers of Pearl, Barb has significantly contributed to Australia’s roots-country-rock movement.

Barb has released several albums, including Til the Morning Comes and Buffalo Mountain Girl, as a singer-songwriter and guitarist, receiving favourable airplay and reviews. Barb’s album Rosa Duet made in-roads into the European radio network, garnering airplay across the UK and Benelux countries, spending weeks in the Euro-American charts, and leading to a headline show at London’s Borderline.

With a music project always on the go, in recent years, Barb has reunited with the Crown of Thorns, toured with Archie Roach, played with The Killjoys, and collaborated with Kerri Simpson, Alison Ferrier and Suzannah Espie on the Bluebirds album. Barb curated a series of concerts, ‘And Introducing…’ for emerging artists and The Writers Block.

Barb performs live with her band and solo and is currently collaborating on new duets. Celebrating 20 years since its first release, Barb Waters Rosa Duet is out on vinyl in December through Cheersquad.
