WHAT IT IS: After breaking ground in her home country of Australia, Angie McMahon made her way to the U.S., where she decidedly left her mark during her very first visit in 2019. Respected for her powerful songwriting and gritty vocals, she was awarded the coveted Grulke Prize for Best Developing Non-U.S. Artist at SXSW. Before the festival, she was named one of NPR Music’s Austin 100; later, she was dubbed “breakout act” by The Austin Chronicle. “Keeping Time”—off her upcoming debut album—is getting positive reactions at radio, while her wide vocal range, dynamic variation and emotional performances continue to turn heads toward this rising star.
