Fanny Lumsden, an 2 x ARIA and 8-time Golden Guitar winner, is changing how things are done. Fresh off her debut UK performance at Glastonbury, where she played to a packed crowd, and a successful, sold-out UK & IE tour, Fanny is hitting the ground running with the release of her highly anticipated fourth album, HEY DAWN.

HEY DAWN has just won Best Country Album at the 2023 ARIA Awards with Fanny and the band also performing live at the coveted event. The album debuted at number one on the ARIA Australian Album charts, Top 10 of global ARIA charts and has held the number one Australian Country spot for five weeks and counting. The album has earned high praise from many outlets, being described as a ‘stunning kaleidoscope’ (STACK MAG) and a ‘triumph’ (Women in Pop), Rolling Stone Magazine gave the album 4 stars, cementing Fanny as ‘undoubtedly the brightest new country star of this era’ (Capital News). The album features standout tracks such as the breathtaking opening track Hey Dawn, the top ten country radio and CMT #1 hit Millionaire, and fan favourites When I Die and Ugly Flowers.

HEY DAWN’s success follows Fanny’s critically acclaimed third studio album, Fallow, which debuted at number ten on the all-genre ARIA charts and topped the Country ARIA charts for two consecutive weeks. Fallow won the Best Country Album at the 2020 ARIA Awards and took home five CMAA Golden Guitar Awards, including Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Single of the Year (Fierce), Video Clip of the Year, and Alt-Country Album of the Year. Fallow was also shortlisted for the prestigious Australian Music Prize top nine albums of 2020.
