Brodie Loves
2025-12-20 21:00 - 23:30 (Australia/Perth) | Settlers Tavern, 114 Bussell Hwy, Margaret River, WA, 6285, Australia
Brodie Loves is an Australian indie-country/folk/rock singer/songwriter who calls Perth Western Australia / the edge of the earth / middle of nowhere home.

After marrying young to the wrong man in a small outback town, she got out of a real bad situation and managed to escape with her ute, guitar, suitcases and kids to the edge of the earth to Perth, Western Australia. This is where she fell in love and pulled together a rag-taggle bunch of blues/soul/rock/country road dog musicians to start playing shows and putting her big stash of heartfelt country, folk, rock songs to tape. Brodie finds both her power and her salvation by singing her heart out about loving things, losing things and finding things.
