Polly Medlen is a brand new artist entering alternative country music with her debut album ‘Easier to Run’. Polly hails from Williams, Western Australia and her original music draws mostly from her country / roots influences.Her music reflects her love of the ‘alternative road’ and her album crosses musically through country, folk and rock while her lyrics draw insightful images from her life and times. Her songs have that rare quality of instant rapport with audiences of all types and ages.“A unique sound – she has a voice that becomes addictive to listen to – theres a certain tone, a wonderful ability to bend notes- and that little catch that contains so much emotion†Sue Jarvis – Capital NewsPolly spent time travelling around Australia working, writing and playing along the way, and it was the inspiration she drew from life on the road and attending music festivals that she finally decided to come home, knuckle down and create her debut album "Easier to run". The decision definatley payed off for Polly, and within the year she picked up the 2006 WAM Country Song of The Year Award and had the opportunity to support true greats like Ian Moss (Cold Chisel) and Shane Howard and Neil Murray on the legendary
"Two Songman Tour".In 2007, Polly scooped the pool at the WAM Songwriting Awards again, taking out the Best Country Song of the Year Award AND Best Regional Song. The unque and talented songwriter was also nominated for a WAMi Country Artist of the Year Award in 2008 and has since supported the likes of Bill Chambers, Paul Greene, Adam Brand, Jami Faulkner and Abbe May.POLLY's ACHEIVEMENTS
