Felicity Groom is WA’s first lady of sultry song. Ever since her first shows awkwardly plucking a harp at Mojo’s Bar in Fremantle she has grown and grown in confidence and musicality, gathering a motley crew of musical mates and taken on the challenge of producing her second album herself. It’s proved a worthwhile exercise as the first taste Higher Higher, Taller Taller showed and given she has enraptured the good folk at Spinning Top Music to help spruik her musical wares you should be doing your ears a favour and introducing them to Felicity STAT!
 

Another thing we learnt recently is that Groom has a fond connection to Led Zeppelin’s Rain Song thanks to her older sister…
 

“My older sister had the cassette tape of Houses Of The Holy when I was just starting to really engage with actual good tunes. She introduced me to a lot of bands in the early days. I thought she was way cool. Back then she used to get around in her 12 hole Doc Martins with hippie dresses, have her head shaved and a nose ring when it was still shocking to see that particular piercing in this town.

This song, to me, is all the holidays on Rottnest Island, or Margaret River trips or road trips in general… in that window of time that moves surreally slow… when you’re impatient to become an adult but you’re still just a little kid.”
