Naomi Sunderland

About Me

Naomi Sunderland is part of the Brisbane-based Coffee Bean Records Independent Music Collective with other well-known Australian musicians and songwriters including Phil Graham, John Barns, Les Foyle, Peter Willersdorf, Vicki Vanderent, and Tim Gaze.

Sunderland’s songwriting and performance style is a natural fusion of folk, alternative, and jazz. She moonlights as a drummer in the Brisbane-based instrumental line-up Wild Turkey Trio.

Sunderland's debut album, Red Dirt Road was a powerful album that combined all the elements of the “new folk” movement emerging in Brisbane. Her new album "Stitches" explores the softer side of Naomi's music. It is due for release in March 2009.
