Tracey Miller - Queen Of The Creek (2025)

At last, Australia’s beloved gospel, soul and rhythm & blues artist Tracey “Mama” Miller steps into the spotlight—with Queen of the Creek, a solo debut that’s as defiant and life-affirming as the woman behind it. After decades of singing everywhere, from Harlem subways to Soweto churches, she channels a lifetime of stories into seven songs that radiate warmth, wisdom, and fire.

It’s a journey from grief and isolation to empowerment and grace, celebrating survival, womanhood, and the passionate beauty of carrying on. The lyrics are rooted in resilience, love, loss, and self-renewal, reclaiming strength and identity. It’s especially that amazing heartfelt voice that steals the show here—from pain to power, sung with timeless soul—although the rich instrumentation shouldn’t go unmentioned.
Queen Of The Creek—produced by Darcy McNulty, Loretta Miller, and Lachlan Mitchell—is out now digitally, soon also released on vinyl LP. Featuring Darcy McNulty, (horns, saxophones), Eamon McNellis (trumpet), Grant Arthur (trombone), Lachlan Mitchell (guitars), Sam Lemann (guitars), Tamara Murphy (bass), Gideon Preiss (piano, organ), and Freyja Hooper (drums), with Ray Pererra, Loretta Miller, and Harry James Angus guesting on select tracks.
