Canberra Live Original Music

"Brigitte's songs are honest and straight from the heart …Her engaging performance is a unique hybrid of Australian laconic delivery and Euro-cabaret-chic." Brett Galt-Smith

Jedda, with her band ‘Daybed Promises’ have been living up to their pledge to bring you “wistful sunlit folk pop” from the capital!

Bedroom artist writing what my family calls ‘sad boy’ music, or more accurately what The National call the ‘SAD DAD’ genre. Massive fan of Australia’s incredible depth of talent in independent music. Love going to shows/gigs and songwriting.
