In between her time in New Orleans, Zoe has also performed shows at iconic venues such as Howlin Wolf, Blue Nile, Maple Leaf and many more.

Taking her dazzling collection of new songs ranging from jazz to all-out dirty soul to New Orleans with the support of an already devoted following, and with a rhythm section consisting of Mike Bass (Trombone Shorty) and Terrance Houston (George Porter Jnr), she finally has a pacific-depth, sizzling new album to bring home to the world, following her well received self-titled debut of 2013.

Originally from a small Australian country town where marriage and Avon representation were the predominant domains of female aspiration, Zoe K was determined to break the mould. Spurning tradition for turntables, she spent years locked in her room mimicking every Etta James, Erykah Badu, and Ruth Brown record she could find, eventually rising to prominence when she swept up the 1223 ABC Female Vocalist of the Year award. Her local achievements back in her Aussie soil include performing at festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival, Manly Jazz Festival, Gumball and was also asked to perform at events such as the film premiere of 50 Shades Of Grey at Fox Studios, Sydney and The Archibald Prize Tour. Zoe K was also invited to support one of her idols and mentor, the late Renee Geyer, Linda and Vika Bull, Mo Ju and Imelda May.

With her hard working, 6 inch pump wearing, immaculate hair, this unapologetic show pony has no signs of slowing down.
