Kellie Knight and the Daze
Multi award-winners Kellie Knight and The Daze are on the rise in Australia’s fast-growing neo-soul movement. Brought up on a healthy diet of pop vinyl, Knight discovered jazz in her twenties, both of which can be heard through her accessible lyrics, well-crafted pop hooks and potent blend of whisky-smoke jazz subtlety and full-power soul vocal.
The northern New South Wales outfit have played their gangsta funk, urban soul groove ‘n’ smooth jazz on many of Australia’s world-renowned festival stages like Bluesfest, the Adelaide Fringe, Port Fairy and Woodford Folk festivals.
“Kellie Knight, where have you been all my life, what a spectacular voice” Murray Burnes (Mi-Sex)
