BIOGRAPHY

The Travelling Mabels are a folk/country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laughter with a new highly anticipated second CD ready for the 2011-2013 touring season. Winners of the ACMA Group of the Year award for 2011.  Collectively, their songs bring a wealth of life experience to the stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three generations of women. This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both musically and in the rapport with the audiences that most wouldn't experience every day
