About Isabel Rumble / Tilly Tjala Thomas

Isabel Rumble

Hailing from the folk-music-rich southern valleys of NSW, Isabel has been steadily carving a name on Australian and international stages with music that speaks directly to the heart.

Her 2023 Folk Alliance Australia nominated debut album Bird Be Brave sparked tours across Australia, Europe, and the UK, including performances at major festivals such as Port Fairy Folk Festival. Along the way, she’s shared her music in unique spaces – from house concerts in India to mountaintop venues in the Austrian Alps.

In 2024, Isabel released her Water Wings EP and completed a 22-date European tour. Early 2025 saw her UK debut, highlighted by an official international showcase at Ireland’s Your Roots Are Showing.

Her recent single Soften, from her forthcoming album, garnered significant media attention both in Australia and abroad, with national Australian radio describing: “a voice like honey and a capacity to hit notes with such care and clarity... Simply gorgeous.”

Isabel’s second full-length album is set for release and a national tour in late 2025. She will return to the UK and Europe mid-2026.

“With a voice like honey and a capacity to hit notes with such care and clarity, as if Billie Eilish, Laura Marling and Katie Noonan morphed into a single voice. Simply gorgeous.” - Kath Devaney, ABC Country Music Director
