Years before landing the iconic role of Scarlett O'Connor on the CMT/HULU TV series Nashville (2012) and launching her career as a singer/songwriter, Clare Bowen, a pediatric cancer survivor, was growing up in Dharawal Country on the Minnamurra River, Australia.
Bowen heard her first broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry on the wireless in her granddad's kitchen. Soon after, her classical vocal coach paused one of their lessons to comment on the country lilt that had naturally crept into Bowen's voice.
It would be another decade or so before she'd duet with heavyweights like Zac Brown and Vince Gill, recording with Grammy-winning producers such as T Bone Burnett and Buddy Miller, but those early experiences helped plant the seed, pushing Bowen toward Nashville. NASHVILLE ran for six seasons, with 20+ soundtracks, selling over one million album units and over five million single downloads to date. Bowen, a lead in the series, continues to reunite for international live tours.
A sought after actor on both sides of the Atlantic, Bowen earned critical praise in the controversial Australian film The Combination, directed by David Field, and in the leading role of Wendla in the Sydney Theatre Company's musical production of Spring Awakening. It was during this time that Bowen took the advice of the STC's artistic director, Oscar winner, Cate Blanchett, and headed to Los Angeles in 2012. During her first year in America, she caught the bus to her Nashville (2012) audition and landed NASHVILLE. When asked whether she could play the banjo, Bowen replied "probably" and learned.
After the series wrap of Nashville (2012) in 2018, Bowen and her singer / songwriter husband, Brandon Robert Young joined Grammy winning duo SUGARLAND on their Still The Same reunion tour, opening for the country heavyweights in arenas across the US, and afterwards returned to Australia to star alongside one of her heroes, film veteran, Bryan Brown (Cocktail (1988) Australia (2008), Along Came Polly (2004)) in the award winning horror series Hungry Ghosts (2020).
In 2019, Clare set out on a 16 month long headline tour in support of the international release of her highly anticipated eponymous album, which sold out across the UK, US, Germany and Australia.
2020 saw Bowen and Brandon Robert Young form Cinematic Americana duo BOWEN * YOUNG. The duo, signed to UK label Snakefarm Records, made a splash opening for Billy Joel in London, followed by their own sold out shows across the globe. BOWEN * YOUNG's debut album is set for release in May, 2024.- Actress

Samantha Morton has established herself as one of the finest actors of her generation, winning Oscar nominations for her turns in Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown (1999) and Jim Sheridan's In America (2002). She has the talent to become one of the major performers in the cinema of this young century.
Samantha Morton was born on May 13, 1977 in Nottingham, England to parents who divorced when she was three years old. Peter and Pamela Morton took other spouses and made Samantha part of a mixed family of 13; she has eight brothers and sisters. She turned to play-acting early in her life, while she was a school-girl.
At 13, she left regular school to train as an actress at the Central Junior Television Workshop, where she learned her craft for three years. It was at the end of her training then that she decided that a life as a professional actress was for her.
She honed her skills in television roles, working her way up from series television to TV-movies and prestigious mini-series, such as Emma (1996) and Jane Eyre (1997). Her first major film role, Under the Skin (1997), won her the Best Actress Award from the Boston Film Critics Society. Woody Allen cast her as Hattie, the "dumb" (unspeaking) lover of Sean Penn's caddish jazz guitarist in Sweet and Lowdown (1999), a beautiful performance in a role that could have flummoxed a less-talented performer. Penn was Oscar-nominated for his performance, but it was Morton's Hattie that was central to the success of the film, Allen's last unqualified success. She provided the moral and narrative center of the film. It was quite a remarkable performance for a 21-year old as she had to do all her acting with her face, having been shorn of her voice. The role of Hattie won Morton a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination.
Ironically, Morton had never seen a Woody Allen movie before. (She grew up watching the TV and listening to the radio.) She agreed to do the film after reading the script (as she says, well-written roles for women are hard to find), and the movie made her a hot commodity in Hollywood after she won the Oscar nomination. (She lost out to Angelina Jolie). Morton was offered many roles, but was very choosy as she was not in acting as a game with a payoff of stardom and money.
She had consolidated her reputation by following up the Allen film with work in indie features that showed that she was not only talented, but quite courageous as a performer. She played a heroin addict in the underrated Jesus' Son (1999) and gave a brilliant performance in Morvern Callar (2002), the story of a Scottish supermarket clerk coping with her boyfriend's suicide.
Steven Spielberg cast her, opposite superstar Tom Cruise, as the clairvoyant in Minority Report (2002), in which she more than held her own opposite Cruise and the special effects. (She took the role as Cruise and Steven Spielberg are favorites of hers). As good as she was, Morton was better served by Irish director Jim Sheridan, Sheridan cast her as a character modeled after his wife in an autobiographical picture more in line with persona and that made better use of her talents. Her performance as the young Irish mother coping with life in New York City in In America (2002) won her numerous critics' awards and another Oscar nod, this time as Best Actress.
At this point, one feels that the odds of her winning the Oscar are even or better. Samantha Morton continues to deliver fine work in provocative films such as Michael Winterbottom's Code 46 (2003), though she is branching out towards the mainstream, taking a role in the remake of that perennial family favorite, Lassie (2005).- Actress
