And why isn't this just how we all live?\"</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Harley sits down with Katie Noonan. It's Katie's 30th year at Woodford, and she's just finished her 30th studio album - serendipitous!&nbsp;</p><p>Katie's Woodford journey started in 1995 when she won the Woodford band competition (prize: a ticket to next year's festival). That hook worked, and she's been back every year since, volunteering, performing with her band george, performing solo, with her family, and now with her new album \"Alone But All One,\" which she's premiering at the festival.</p><p><br></p><p>But this isn't just a musician's story. It's about growiing up with the opera-singing mum and witnessing the super talented Jeff Buckley at 18, before deciding to become a \"musical weirdo.\" Katie now runs the Eumundi School of Music to provide children with free music education and still references Woodford as her church. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>This episode is for:</strong></p><ul><li>Musicians wondering if they can survive making art in the streaming era</li><li>Parents trying to explain to their kids why music matters more than money</li><li>Anyone who's ever left Woodford wondering \"why can't life be like this?\"</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Dive in to hear about:</strong></p><ul><li>Taking on Jeff Buckley's five-octave range (the ultimate artistic challenge)</li><li>Brisbane's unique 90s music scene&nbsp;</li><li>The joys and struggles of Woodford camping</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>To learn more about Katie Noonan:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.katienoonan.com.au/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.katienoonan.com.au/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>To come to the Woodford Folk Festival:</strong><a href=\"https://woodfordfolkfestival.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong> </strong>https://woodfordfolkfestival.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>FOR MORE:</strong> Harley Breen:<a href=\"https://www.harleybreen.com.au\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> https://www.harleybreen.com.au</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>CREDITS:</strong></p><p>Host: Harley Breen</p><p>Guest: Katie Noonan</p><p>Producer: Benny Wallington</p><p>Executive Producers: Cameron Scurrah, Bree Hickson-Jamieson, Georgia Shaw</p><p>Video editing: Amelie Barham</p><p>Audio mastering: Kieron Atkinson</p><p>Music by: The East Pointers</p><p>Recorded on Jinibara Country</p><p><br></p><p>#RadioWoodfordia #KatieNoonan #George #WoodfordFolkFestival #JeffBuckley #AustralianMusic #HarleyBreen #Woodfordia</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Woodfordia INC"}
