Laura K Clarke Is a Melbourne Based Singer-Songwriter Who's Passion for Music Reflects in Every Aspect of Her Life Laura K Clarke is a Melbourne based singer-songwriter who's passion for music reflects in every aspect of her life. Often likened to a range of musicians she respects and admires including Wendy Matthews, Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell and Jewel, Laura’s folk/pop sound is sweet, soothing and honest. Born into a musical family, Laura made her stage debut at age 6 singing an a capella "We are the world", but it was a further 12 years before she began actually studying vocals. With 2 years of coaching from multi-award winning blues artist Andrea Marr, Laura honed her craft and won several awards and competitions, but it was still years before she considered a career in music. Laura began playing guitar and song writing in her early 20's, during which time her musical journey took her not only across the performing arts spectrum, but across the world. From London's acoustic lounges to cabaret shows in Portugal and Spain’s Canary Islands, Laura performed constantly while also working behind the scenes in production and venue management. Upon her return to Melbourne, Laura's drive and determination resulted in performances at a range of events including the Royal Melbourne Show and The Melbourne Fringe Festival. She also secured a number of gigs at some of the city's best-known venues, including The Espy, Ruby's Lounge, Spencers Live and Curve Bar (The Arts Centre). Complementary to the successful completion of a Diploma of Music Performance at Victoria University (2008/2009), Laura also participated in vocal and song writing workshops with some of America's finest teachers and writers, including Renee Grant-Williams (the Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill), Wendy Parr (Regina Spektor) and Pat Pattison (John Mayer, Gillian Welch). She has also worked with some of Melbourne’s most talented writers including Angie Hart (Frente), Shane O’Mara (Paul Kelly, Lisa Miller) and Charles Jenkins. Musically speaking, 2011 was a big year for Laura. She completed the recording of her debut EP “Looking For Inspiration”, with producer momo (Diafrix) and session musicians Damian Smith (M-Phazes), Mikey Chan (Direct Influence, Candice Monique), Pete Robinson (Russell Morris, Electric Mary) and Dean Matters (Andrea Marr, Eran James). She released the debut single “Do What You Say” to a sold out crowd at the Wesley Anne in Northcote and supported some of Australias finest talents, including ARIA award winner Monique Brumby and blues sensation Ray Beadle. Laura also shared festival bills with the likes of BONJAH and Lloyd Spiegel. “Looking For Inspiration”, Laura’s debut EP, is released on April 27th and she tours Australia throughout June to promote it’s release. Always playing regular shows around Melbourne, and never one to settle with where her music has taken her, Laura is most definitely one to watch in every stage of her musical evolution.

We pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. MESSAGES Premier of Queensland & Minister Welcome to the 2019 Australian Women in Music Awards. The Queensland Government is proud to support this showcase event for a second year. It is a fabulous way to pay tribute to the many talented women who are creating music or working behind the scenes to support Australia’s Annastacia Palaszczuk MP flourishing music industry. PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND MINISTER FOR TRADE We are delighted the Awards have returned to Queensland, home to some of this country’s finest female musicians. We recognise however, that while they have found success and been embraced by audiences the world over, there are many other gifted women just like them, right across Australia, who are struggling to break through because of gender barriers. Female artists tend to earn less than male performers, receive less airplay on Australian radio and hold little more than one-quarter of senior and strategic roles in key music industry associations. Shining a dedicated spotlight on these issues and recognising the exceptional work of female artists and industry professionals, is a vital step in creating greater visibility and opportunities for all Australian women in music. This is what these Awards are about. We congratulate this year’s winners, cheer on all those who are following MINISTERDi FOR Farmer CHILD SAFETY,MP YOUTH in their rhythmic footsteps, and wish everyone a memorable time AND WOMEN AND MINISTER FOR celebrating outstanding female talent.

    INAUGURAL CEREMONY October 10 2018 “I know that there are vast numbers of men who support woman and huge numbers of women who want more so together let’s create the mother of all paradigm shifts.” Jenny Morris Chrissy Amphlett PHOTOGRAPHER: TONY MOTT 2 1 “I know that there are vast numbers of men who support woman and huge numbers of women who want more so together let’s create the mother of all paradigm shifts.” Jenny Morris Chrissy Amphlett PHOTOGRAPHER: TONY MOTT 2 1 A FEW WORDS Message From AWMA Founding Director Message from the Premier & Ministers & Executive Producer It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the first Australian Women in Music Awards. VICKI GORDON We’re proud that Queensland is the inaugural home to this phenomenal program. The Queensland Government is committed to promoting the work of women in all fields, including the arts, and positions of leadership. We have pledged to appoint 50 per cent women to government boards by 2020, because we know that companies This evening we will make Australian music history. that appoint more women do better. The inaugural Australian Women in Music Awards is the result of many Australian women contribute a great deal to the country’s contemporary music industry, and yet only one in five voices and many visions coming together, all of whom refuse to allow registered songwriters and composers in our nation are women. Women also represent almost half of all Australians women’s contribution in the Australian Music Industry to be sidelined with a music qualification, and yet hold only one in four senior roles in our key music industry organisations.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.
