Australian Indie Folk duo, Freight Train Foxes, are built around the talents of Brisbane singer/songwriters, Pat Kenny and Kelsey Berrington. Armed with the sonic influences of Passenger and The Paper Kites, the pair wield their unique brand of suburban acoustic folk, that manages to both wound and soothe simultaneously.
‘They have an amazing ability to pull at the heartstrings and make you feel ‘happy/sad’. And I feel like that’s the current mood people are going through.’ - Nkechi Anele (Triple J)
Emerging from Brisbane’s open mic scene in 2019, the duo has continued to draw the attention of the music industry. Freight Train Foxes were finalists at the 2022 Queensland Music Awards for their single ‘Cardboard Satellites’, and received a ‘Highly Commended’ award in the Regional/Remote category.
After releasing three EPs in three years, and amassing over half a million streams on Spotify, the Indie Folk duo continue to impress audiences with stirring performances throughout Australia, including shows at The Gympie Muster and Tamworth Country Music Festival.
Pat was an Army Officer before making an abrupt switch to songwriting, while Kelsey had a background as a circus performer before transitioning to music full-time. The songwriting partnership emerged from a chance encounter at an open mic, and continued to develop out of a mutual admiration for their shared songwriting heroes.
