Debra Manskey

Sun 17th February 08 | 2:00pm - 3:00pm

Throughout her long career, Debra has graced many concert stages and festivals across Australia, including Pt Fairy Folk Festival, Moomba, Cygnet Folk Festival and Tasmania's jewel, 10 Days on the Island. In recent years as a solo performer she has also supported other outstanding artists such as The Stiff Gins, Neil Murray, Sophie B Hawkins, Mick Thomas and the inimitable Dave Graney.

One of the founding members of Australian 80's indie darlings Wild Pumpkins at Midnight, Debra's trademark, soaring vocals contributed to the Pumpkins' 1990 ARIA award for "This Machine is Made of People" (Best Independent Release). Debra is also highly regarded as an arts administrator and educator. She regularly conducts specialist workshops for adults and children in voice, songwriting and music business competencies.

Now based back in her beloved Tasmania and working as a solo artist, this woman has charmed audiences around the world with her incredible live shows. A mixture of folk, punk, roots (and everything in between!) and overlaid with 'one of the finest female voices imaginable' (Rock'n'Reel Magazine, UK) this is an artist not to be missed.
