Anyone who has seen her perform live never forgets the experience of hearing her sing for the first time and every time. Nor do they forget how funny she is! Bowtell creates an experience for her audiences and everyone leaves her shows uplifted and entertained.'' - Sunburnt Country ''She has one of the most amazing voices in this country, I love this beautiful woman and her talent'' - Kasey Chambers ''The voice of an angel, the words of a poet and the string skills of a master. I am so much better for the time I have spent touring, writing and laughing with Lyn Bowtell.'' - Beccy Cole Lyn will be joined by special guest and 2023 New Songwriter of the Year, Felicity Dowd.
