As mischievous as she is charming, Fremantle’s Mama Kin is part raconteur and all-out entertainer. With a widespread reputation for her unique blend of foot-stomping soul, heart-wrenching ballads and stirring live shows, Mama Kin is back with a swag of new songs and a shift in sonic direction.

Her new album, The Magician’s Daughter, signals an expansion in Mama Kin’s musical palette. It ushers in a depth and potency underpinned by Mama Kin’s vocals that so spectacularly hover between vulnerability and power.

Cinematic at times, with lush arrangements and bold production, The Magician’s Daughter pushes Mama Kin’s own boundaries, challenging her trademark sound. Where her debut album Beat and Holler was a soulstress’ war cry, traversing the riotous and the raw, her sophomore album takes us deeper into the human condition, where the magic lives.

This my journey into getting back into performing.  I am focusing on folk songs and especially old traditional ones.  
My tracks are available for purchase at https://oca2blue.bandcamp.com.  Come check out my album "For the Love Of Folk Music" there.

Since these tracks are works in progress in many cases, I often remove older versions and replace with newer versions.  If you heart a track, you may later find it is not showing your heart any longer when I have replaced it.   I try to keep all the songs on my playlist, Sue2BlueEyes Own, so you can always hear all the current versions on it.

I have 28 of these tracks available on ITunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play, Apple Music, and other venues.

Singer-songwriter Tereza Biezaite writes folk songs inspired by life’s cycles, her ever evolving connection to Truth, and the deep dark and poetic. She takes us on a journey into the ocean of emotion underneath the calm surface, giving voice to both the joy and the sorrow that makes us human.
