Brooke Schubert is a country rock artist living in Brisbane, Queensland. She is in a musical lineage that includes her great-grandmother, Iris Atkinson, who was the first woman in Australia to produce a vinyl recording, her aunt Karyn, an opera singer, and her mother, Susan, who performed at the first Gympie Muster and was also a professional golfer.
Both music and sport have been prominent in Schubert’s life – she has represented Queensland in hockey and swimming, and has also been performing most of her life and releasing music since 2013. She now has a debut album, After Midnight, and at the time we spoke she was fresh from performing at the Gympie Muster. It was at the Muster, at the age of ten, that Schubert sang on stage for the first time, so it was a special place for her to return to with her album.
The album draws on a range of her musical influences and also contains a song written by family friend Graeme Connors, which was recorded in the wake of a heartbreaking event that affected Schubert deeply – something we can hear in her vocal. Schubert’s voice is a glorious instrument and the variety of songs on After Midnight gives her the opportunity to use it to full effect. Her passion for music is apparent in these songs, and also in conversation – she lives and breathes music.
Schubert has played live in all sorts of venues and continues to do so regularly in Brisbane. She’s also going to take her new album on the road in Queensland in October – you can find details of those shows and her Brisbane gigs at https://brookeschubert.com/pages/shows-1
