A born storyteller, Aussie singer/songwriter Katrina Burgoyne isn’t content to simply break the U.S. country market. She wants to document the process, both for herself and for others. Cue the title track of her 2021 debut album The Next Big Thing, which details the struggle to climb the ranks in such a competitive field. Now based in Nashville, Burgoyne has turned that life-changing personal experience into sharp, genuine vignettes, including the stirring romance “Tennessee” and the dream-chasing “25 Cents in the Ashtray”. With her honest lyrics, lilting voice and gentle shades of rock, Burgoyne is a refreshing voice of authenticity in modern country music.
