Courtney Barnett at The Stage AE

Australian singer, songwriter, and musician Courtney Barnett first came to public attention in 2012 with her self-released debut EP I've Got a Friend called Emily Ferris on her own label, Milk! Records. The following year, a re-release of her debut EP alongside another called How To Carve A Carrot Into a Rose, released as a package titled The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas, brought Barnett's music to an international audience, and was critically acclaimed by Q Magazine, Pitchfork and Stereogum. Barnett's debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, came two years later and also garnered widespread acclaim. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015, she was nominated for eight awards, winning four. Barnett was also nominated for Best New Artist at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards and for International Female Solo Artist at the 2016 Brit Awards. 2017 saw a collaborative effort from Barnett – an album called Lotta See Lice, written and performed with American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer Kurt Vile. Barnett's second studio album, Tell Me How You Really Feel, was released on 18 May 2018, following the singles "Nameless, Faceless", "Need a Little Time" and “Sunday Roast”.
