Her songs are delicately crafted and reflect social, personal and environmental themes.

Melbourne-based, singer-songwriter Scott Candlish shares honest, personal stories of vulnerability through a blend of indie-folk and rock music. Drawing on influences from a wide range of artists, Candlish uses notable falsetto and an intricate fingerstyle. Open and honest about his mental health, Candlish delivers raw and emotive soundscapes that reflect deeply in the innermost corners of his soul.

Blue Windows move seamlessly between Folk, Country and Americana through thoughtful lyrics, heartfelt melodies and a touch of whimsy earning them several finalist awards in songwriting.

Renowned for their quirky themes and insightful perspectives on human behaviour, they are here to tickle your funny bone and tug at your heartstrings.
Their new album ‘Northern Sky’ delves into the battles with intrusive thoughts, the fight against external pressures, and the bittersweet journey of leaving behind the familiar to embrace the unknown. Blue Windows captures the essence of inner struggles, personal growth, and the complexities of relationships in their music.
