Hailing from the NSW South Coast, Felicity Dowd has wowed audiences across the country, from main stages at Australia's most prestigious events (National Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and the Tamworth Country Music Festival) to support slots with music royalty, the Bushwackers, Josh Cunningham (The Waifs), Felicity Urquhart, Ash Grunwald, Fanny Lumsden, Sunny Cowgirls, Brian Card, Neil Murray (Warumpi Band) and Tex Perkins (The Cruel Sea). Inspired by an eclectic and ever-changing landscape of genres her music is diverse, drifting between the boundaries of Folk & Country.

''Felicity Dowd is a deep thinker and truly authentic performer. She writes songs that have meaning and sings with soul!'' - Lyn Bowtell
