Synopsis

An intimate memoir from beloved Australian musician Kate Ceberano, featuring her inspirational song lyrics and stories, to celebrate four decades of songwriting and recording on the release of her 30th album. 
 

Kate Ceberano is used to a hush descending as she draws breath to release that magnificent voice but when the whole world quietened in 2020, she found the silence disorientating. Without an audience or long hours of travel with her tribe of musicians, there was time to think. But what does an artist do when they can’t make art? They find a way.  

With characteristic passion, abundance and joy, Kate liberated her unsung songs. They flowed through her paintbrush as she embellished guitars, her needle as she stitched quilts to envelop her beloveds and her pen as she unfurled stories, poems and songs.  

In Unsung Kate muses on the people and experiences that have inspired her, on what has humbled her, what hurts and what sustains. This is the story of a powerful woman in her prime, but also of a reflective, romantic and vulnerable artist making sense of the universe. It’s proof of a lifetime lived in music. It’s a tribute to songs, wherever they come from and wherever they go.

A great anthology, they really did well with this one. Not every section is captivating and certainly some were not the easiest to read, both in content as well as style, but the ground covered here is really impressive.
