Jodi Phillis is an ARIA nominated singer songwriter, composer and artist who first made her mark on the Australian cultural landscape with alt-rock band The Clouds.

Special guest Suzie Higgie is the founding mainstay lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of the Falling Joys, an alternative rock band formed in Canberra. 
 

Jodi Phillis has forged a parallel career as an independent, influential solo singer/songwriter, producing five critically acclaimed albums under her own name and with the groups The Dearhunters, Roger Loves Betty, and The Glamma Rays.

For her latest independent solo release ‘Becoming’, Jodi returned to her default mode of singer songwriter, mining the deep seam of neo-romantic chamber folk-pop.

Successfully crowdfunded and produced by Tim Oxley, Becoming is an acoustic, intimate account of grief and it’s fallout. Real life is flipped inside out and transformed into vintage filtered songs that celebrate life and love and the quest to find meaning in a broken world.

Becoming evokes cherished memories, childhood day dreams, and visions of a longed for utopia, while urging the listener to follow their bliss.

Jodi’s live performances are raw and heartfelt, idiosyncratic and warm. Her expressive voice and deeply personal lyrics engage listeners from all walks of life.

Jodi will perform with her band featuring Tim Oxley, Damien Lane and Phil Lally at

Smiths Alternative in Canberra on Saturday, August 24, 7pm til 9pm, before heading overseas to play shows in the USA and Europe.
