Courtney Barnett

Recently I had the pleasure of working at a live music gig for Courtney Barnett. I say a pleasure because I really enjoyed the music, which doesn't happen often at work.

I'm not a professional music reviewer, so I won't try and be poetic here. All I'll say is this: CHECK HER OUT.

Her new album is called Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit. She's an Australian artist and her music will appeal to those primarily into Indie and Rock (no wonder I liked her).

You can find her music in various places, including Spotify and iTunes.

Definitely one to watch out for!
