CHARLOTTE LE LIEVRE

Charlotte Le Lievre writes country songs that cut deep — honest, raw, and grounded in real life. With a voice that’s equal parts vulnerable and commanding, her music pulls from early country and folk traditions to make sense of grief, joy, resistance, and the stories we carry. Charlotte spent her early 20s hitchhiking, living at blockades in remote corners of the continent, and learning how to live with grief. Her style and sound combine the richness of that life experience with a deep admiration for the roots of country and folk music.

Charlotte's debut album, Songs from the Barrier Line (2023), made an immediate impact, debuting at #4 on the ARIA Australian Country Album Chart and #3 on the AIR (Australian Independent Record Labels Association) Album Chart. The album was featured on Bandcamp’s Best Country Music list for March 2023, and earned nominations for Contemporary Folk Album of the Year at the Australian Folk Music Awards and Best Country Work at the Music Victoria Awards. David Jarmin from Americana UK said, "The debut release from Charlotte Le Lievre, has an immediate air of authenticity”.

Renowned for her captivating live performances, Charlotte has shared stages with Jimbo Mathus (USA), The Burning Hell (CAN), and C.W. Stoneking, and has appeared at leading festivals across Australia, including Out on the Weekend (VIC), Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), Nannup Music Festival (WA), The Town Folk Festival (VIC), Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass Festival (NSW), and NewFarm NewCountry Festival (WA). In 2025, Charlotte undertook a successful Western Australia tour, further strengthening her national audience reach. She showcased at BIGSOUND in Brisbane in 2024 and was selected for the acclaimed 2025 Seed Fund Workshop for self-managed artists.

Charlotte’s songwriting has also received significant recognition. She was a finalist in the 2021 Darebin Songwriters Award and the 2022 Upstart Award, and a semi-finalist in the Americana category of the 2022 and 2023 International Songwriting Competition. During the release of her debut album, she was mentored by acclaimed folk artist Liz Stringer through the AIR Women in Music Mentorship Program.

She is currently working on her highly anticipated second album, Grief Knows No Borders, slated for release in Spring 2026. The first single, Tamworth Lights (October 2025), was added to high rotation on ABC Country and Australian Country Radio and has received widespread national and International airplay.
