"Jeanette Wormald is a surprising and enterprising performer... she has a passion for the land, for Indigenous rights, women's increasing role on farms and in the Bush. She delivered a mature, forthright, intriguing and intimate selection that showed she will be an artist to watch for the future."— Sunday Mail Review, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, 2007
Jeanette Wormald stands as one of Australia's most distinctive country and folk music artists. Her music carries the essence of the Australian landscape—the red earth of the outback, the resilient Mallee scrub, and the vast blue skies that define South Australia's heartland.
Born in Adelaide and raised in Mount Compass on the Fleurieu Peninsula, Jeanette developed an intimate connection with the Australian bush that would shape her entire musical career. Her songs celebrate the stories of rural Australians, Indigenous heritage, and the timeless beauty of the land.
With a career spanning decades and recognition from institutions like the Country Music Association of Australia and Folk Alliance International, Jeanette's music continues to resonate with audiences who appreciate authentic storytelling through song.
"Her songs are born of red earth, Mallee scrub, evening mist, driving dust and the kind of skies you see nowhere else in the world."— John Schumann, Redgum
