Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians.
Today we chat with one of Australia's best female vocalists, a member of Australia’s rock royal family, lead singer of the Soul Mates, Mahalia Barnes.
Mahalia was caught in traffic at our scheduled meet time, so pulled over to chat from her car, such is her dedication, so please forgive the occasional little zoom blip.
From member of The Tin Lids to having her own tin lids with band member and husband, Ben, Mahalia is really one of the great voices to come out of our country.
We talk about family, about music and about the future. The Barnes Family is Australia's rock 'n' roll royal family and with their next generations of music talent, their heritage is in good hands.
Eldest daughter of Cold Chisel's Jimmy and wife Jane, niece of both John 'Swanee' Swan and Mark 'Diesel' Lizotte, sister of David Campbell, Mahalia Barnes well and deserves to take on the royal crown.
