Australian Songwriter of the year 2020 and 2009 & ARIA awards winners Beautifully Mad take you on a breathtaking ride of original music that recalls the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz. Expect goose-bumps from the hauntingly beautiful to the wild Hendrix spiked guitar and dirty New Orleans exhilaration of a band possessed. 
Tony has a reputation for setting fire to a 12 string with his solos, while Nina melts hearts with her rich, mellifluous voice and nylon string guitar. ...”Tony King is one of the country’s finest guitarists” - Jonathan Biggins “highly original, evocative and moreish. In performance they are engaging, incredibly versatile and inventive, an altogether class act” - Bob Connolly & Sophie B Raymond (Mrs Carey’s Concert) “Popped into the Basement for one drink and stayed the whole night. Great songwriting!” – Michael McDonald – The Doobie Brothers "Beautifully Mad" were simply stunning. Excellent guitars and fabulous voices combined with lyrics that can only have come from people who have really lived, loved, lost & laughed through life. Their songs cut straight to the heart as they transported us. Thoroughly delightful entertainment! -Bill Arnett, Folkus Room Canberra Winner of Best Lyrics at the International Songwriters Awards 2014 judged by Tom Wait and Bernie Taupin
