The Hush Foundation invited six of Australia’s beloved artists, Missy Higgins, Kate Miller-Heidke, Megan Washington, Mama Kin, Emily Wurramara, and Naomi Crellin, to visit hospitals and care communities throughout Australia, to listen, reflect and connect on experiences of caring and motherhood. The visits led them to compose a total of eleven beautiful songs that were then recorded with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra to become the “Nightlight” album.
The beautifully calming song ‘The Healing Tree’ by award-winning singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke is the first single from the “Nightlight” album and is out now.
A powerful song written with Keir Nuttall, ‘The Healing Tree’ delivers a much-needed message of pure comfort during these challenging times. You can listen to ‘The Healing Tree’ here
“I’d never heard of anything quite like the Hush project before and creatively it was a really interesting exercise for me to give myself permission to write more explicitly about motherhood,” said Kate Miller-Heidke.
The “Nightlight” album will be released 4 March 2022, with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra led by Hush Artistic Director and Conductor Benjamin Northey.
Professor Catherine Crock AM, Hush Founder and Chair said, “Nightlight celebrates parenthood and carers of all kinds, as well as all the different – but equally special – villages that raise us.”
“Nightlight” is the nineteenth volume of music released by the Hush Foundation. You can pre-order the album HERE.
More than 75,000 copies of Hush albums, as well as extensive digital downloads, have been sold worldwide and for the past decade the Hush Foundation have been one of the largest commissioners of independent music in Australia.
The Hush album “Collective Wisdom” was nominated for an AIR Award in 2019 for Best Independent Classical Album and the “A Piece of Quiet” album was nominated for an ARIA Award in 2017 for Best Children’s Album.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
