Equal parts vulnerable folk singer and vitriolic punk poet.
Combining delicate melodies with disarmingly insightful vignettes about the human condition, Wilkinson is a smiling assassin. Her songs with titles like GTFA (Get The F**k Away), I Wanna Punch On With You, The Pirate and Concrete Shoes skewer ex-lovers, would-be suitors, ridiculous social norms and the absurd challenges of suburban life in a merciless, yet strangely affectionate way, leaving audiences feeling that they have stumbled across a particularly poignant and expletive-filled diary. As one reviewer remarked, "so cute, yet so brutal".

Equally at home in the intimate confines of a house concert or in the expansive surrounds of a festival Wilkinson engages audiences with revealing and hilarious stories and songs that seep into the consciousness - only to come back to mind at inappropriate times!
She's been compared to iconic artists such as Billy Bragg, Jonathon Richman and Patti Smith and Australian success stories like Courtney Barnett, Kate Miller Heidke and Emma Louise, and even to the idiosyncratic Tim Minchin yet Wilkinson is carving her own path through the undergrowth. While highly credentialed producers have suggested shaping her sound to a more pop styling Wilkinson's forthcoming EP is deliberately raw and unadorned. Drawing on the spirit of Woody Guthrie she seeks to connect in the most direct way possible - taking her large repertoire of songs on the road accompanied by just guitar and keyboard - and the caustic wit and theatrical delivery that serves her so well.
