Charlotte Le Lievre – Mixtape Sessions @ Studio 188 – MELT Festival 2026

Presented by Studio 188…

Charlotte Le Lievre writes songs that cut deep — honest, raw, and grounded in real life. With a voice that’s equal parts vulnerable and commanding, her music pulls from early country and folk traditions to make sense of grief, joy, resistance, and the stories we carry.

Charlotte’s debut album, Songs from the Barrier Line (2023), made an immediate impact, debuting at #4 on the ARIA Australian Country Album Chart and #3 on the AIR (Australian Independent Record Labels Association) Album Chart. The album was featured on Bandcamp’s Best Country Music list for March 2023, and earned nominations for Contemporary Folk Album of the Year at the Australian Folk Music Awards and Best Country Work at the Music Victoria Awards.

Renowned for her captivating live performances, Charlotte has shared stages with Jimbo Mathus (USA), The Burning Hell (CAN), and C.W. Stoneking, and has appeared at leading festivals across Australia, including Out on the Weekend (VIC), Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), Nannup Music Festival (WA), The Town Folk Festival (VIC), Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass Festival (NSW), NewFarm NewCountry Festival (WA) and Nundle Rocks (NSW).

She is currently working on her sophomore album, Grief Knows No Borders, planned for release in February 2027. The first two singles off the album Tamworth Lights (Oct 2025) and I Yearn To Love Someone (Feb 2026), were both added to high rotation on ABC Country and received widespread national and International radio play.
