"showcases one of the more fully formed musical visions
to find voice in recent times.
She offers up a collection of songs that capture the
essence of a performer
whose gift is the ability to express a broad range
of emotions, intimately,
honestly, and within a rich musical tapestry."

At age ten, when the kids in her class were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up,
Jude Elliot's answer was simple... "Madonna".

Fresh from her 2008 release and National tour  "A Gentle Glimpse of Waking" (Fogsongs, MGM),
Jude has moved herself in to the spotlight as one of Australia's finest female singer/songwriters.

The album, recorded in New York and Sydney , has received rave reviews and national airplay.
Mark Fraser from Australia's Redback Rock Magazine reviews the album's debut single:

 "From the forthcoming album spring these two little teasers. Starry Night kicks in
with a kind of country-dirged guitar, before slipping into its smooth, swimming layers.
A lazy air with sweetly serrated guitars sitting back in the mix and Elliot's seductive vocals
slinking into the wafting void.
Beautiful strings and a sad warmth that has hit single written all over it!".

Wth a voice that has been compared to Ute Lemper, Alanis Morissette and Madonna
and songs influenced by Jeff Buckley, Elbow and Coldplay, Jude's style embodies a warm acoustic feel
that moves from warm jazzy grooves through to contemporary pop/rock.

She has performed at festivals and venues in Australia and in the USA with the likes of Clare Bowditch
and the Feeding Set, Evermore (at Pianos in New York), Jon Stevens, Jon Auer - The Posies (USA),
Teddy Thompson (USA), Hawksley Workman (Canada), Farryl Purkiss (Sth Africa),
Ty Noonan and Kate Miller-Heidke.

Jude was named a top ten finalist at the 2008 Musicoz awards for "Dark Angel", and most recently
has been shortlisted for the 2009 Apra Professional Development awards. She has been a previous finalist
for the Australian Music Week industry showcase, nominated for the SAMIA most outstanding female artist
award, is a SAYAB and Artsa grant recipient and was named a finalist for the 2006 APRA pd awards.

Jude composed the music score for the theatre production The Boys at the George Theatre and has
written classical instrumental scores for several short films and visual art installations
and has recorded four studio albums.

Since the recent release of "A Gentle Glimpse of Waking", Jude has been  recording new tracks with UK producer
Tim Ericson. The single "Dark Angel"  is set for release in September 2009. 

Jude lives in the Adelaide Hills where she is currently
writing for her next full length album "A Poem for Rose".
