Bio

...sublime honesty, ginger-laced vocals, honey-dipped melodies, with a twist of lemon sunshine... Returning to London from her most recent US tour (which included showcasing at SxSW 2008 in Austin TX and co-writing with renowned hit writers in Nashville TN), Ange is excited about the year ahead! Currently preparing to record a new album, her folk-pop style of music is warm and hearty, pretty and brave. “Tasmanian songstress Ange Boxall opens the evening with rich, warm vocals and a set dripping with honesty. This pretty blonde stands alone on stage, guitar in hand and powerful voice at the ready. People put down their cutlery, abandon their vegetarian wraps and rise to attention before the small but mesmerising artist. She is a delight both on and off stage. Keep your eyes and ears wide open – this London-based treasure will go far.” The Australian Times, (UK review) Ange hails from Tasmania, the south-eastern, heart shaped island of Australia. This international travelling troubadour spreads herself between her base in London, UK, Australia and the US. … “Like award winning Australian singer-songwriters such as Tamika Tyler before her, Ange speaks from a rural Australian country experience, in an American country-folk voice not unlike the "voices" of the likes of Nanci Griffith or Iris DeMent, with whom she shares some similar vocal eccentricities ... or even such wonderful talents as Patty Griffin, Beth Orton or Mary Chapin-Carpenter. This is truly beautifully well done.” The Consensus, USA Always retaining a positive view of the world, this being portrayed in her songwriting, Ange focuses on melodies and honest lyrical appeal. She writes about human emotions and relationships with beauty and simplicity. "Boxall is a butterfly with bite. First impressions of singer Ange Boxall are of a young, attractive, and diminutive blonde. But when she sings Ange presents a completely different dimension. Her voice is big - it's also strong, mature, and on occasions has a dark huskiness that gives it extra depth. The lyrics of Ange's songs also reveal intelligence and a free-thinking spirit." The Star, Australia In 2005, Ange recorded a 12 track album Release, produced by Will Worsley (Yusef Islam, Obi, Sasoto) in London.  Release was launched at the highly esteemed 'Borderline' in central London, UK. Her musical entourage on the recording includes Al Mobbs on Double Bass (David Gray, Gorillaz), Nick Holland on Cello (Sky Edwards, David Byrne, Ilya, Myleene Klass, The Divine Comedy) Mike Reed on Drums (Prodigy) and Tom Worsley on guitars (Obi). “This is an album that will remain in my regular rotation for some time to come.” Collected Sounds, USA Ange’s performances within London include: The Borderline The Jazz Café The Union Chapel 12 Bar Club The Luminaire The Cobden Club
