“She is a talented pianist and songwriter with a voice to die for…Vasudha combines the unflappable innocence and heartfelt social empathy of a country lass with the steady uncomplicated optimism of the Byron Bay Boho.”
Daevid Allen
Vasudha Harte is an innovative Australian singer songwriter, composer, musical director and healing sound artist.
As pianist, harpist, guitarist, accordionist and vocalist, her ever evolving sonic palette elegantly expresses a spectrum of genres and cultures from around the world.
Her extensive and versatile repertoire is a spirited blend of traditional and modern European, Celtic and Australian sounds, including French chansons, Spanish rhumbas, Argentinian tangos, Irish, Scottish, Welsh & English folk tunes, Baroque, Classical, Greek, Italian, Eastern European, Cabaret, Reggae, Gypsy, Blues, Jazzy, Ambient, Sacred, Oz, Indigenous and a diverse range of original songs.
Vasudha’s effortlessly eclectic style pays deep respect to tradition while carving a modern musical pathway uniquely her own.
With soaring velvet vocals, sensitive passionate piano, enchanting magical harp, lilting rhythmic guitar and joyful nostalgic accordion, she performs as a soloist or as part of a duo, trio or larger ensemble. She also plays an array of sound healing instruments such as singing bowls, Native American Spirit flute, rainstick, chimes, bells and healing reverie harp.
Her carefully crafted sonic artistry is enhanced with spontaneous splashes of free improvisation adorned with poetry and spoken word.
A heartfelt singer songwriter, versatile improviser and genre traversing multi instrumentalist, her sweet, uplifting music and smooth-as-honey voice extend a warm, joyful invitation to feel at peace and in harmony with existence.
Vasudha’s inclusive community spirit and compassionate global heart shines through her music, creating a feeling of peaceful intimacy and uplifting togetherness.
Vasudha is one half of genre traversing duet Dinkum Bohos with her husband and fellow multi instrumentalist Jem Edwards. Together they have been wooing audiences with their universal musical kaleidoscope, where experimental improvisation meets tradition and nostalgia, since 2008. Their celebrated live appearances as a dynamic twosome are currently on pause while they create new recordings in Jem’s NowHere Interstellar studios, currently based in Healesville, outer Naarm, Wurundjeri Country.
“It has been such a delight this evening with you.
We have been very touched by your beautiful presence (as always). We were enchanted!”

The birds have flown to freedom
The cage lies empty
Your happy songs bring me the scent of heaven
Please keep singing
