I&#8217;d never had a pet, and I wanted that for my children,&#8221; Noonan said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She was attacked when she was little, so she is a bit screwed up. She&#8217;s 11 now and part of the family.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was lucky enough to find a dog-friendly Air B&amp;B, so she will be with me at the first few shows.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I recently broke up with my husband, and in this new single woman life, we&#8217;re co-parenting the dog.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It has been a year of profound grief after a double hernia surgery and the pneumothorax compounding family tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My dad died last year, and my marriage was dying over the last five years,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With the puncture, I&#8217;ve got very strong lungs, and I did all the exercises and therapy, and it has healed. I&#8217;m very grateful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lungs are the organ of grief in traditional Chinese medicine; it felt like the universe&#8217;s message to let go of that while healing the wound.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Once I recovered, I turned a corner with my mental health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Over 25 years, the artist has produced 29 studio albums, with seven platinum record sales and 29 ARIA award nominations across diverse genres.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_112274\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-112274\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-112274\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/06\/picture_20250602_124_68109_tn.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"413\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-112274\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katie Noonan in full flight.

It&#8217;s my desert island disc. I saw him play at Seagulls in 1996, and my mind was completely cracked open,&#8221; Noonan said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There were a few hundred of us down the front, genuflecting at the altar of Jeff, and a bunch of pokies players up the back. It was transcendental.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hot off the press is that the fella that co-wrote <em>Grace<\/em>, Gary Lucas, reached out to me via the magic of the interwebs, and I sent him my version of <em>Grace<\/em> and we&#8217;ll soon be doing some projects, here and in New York.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Noonan&#8217;s ongoing project, AV\u00c9 Australian Vocal Ensemble, is also set for a new endeavour.<\/p>\n<p>The group&#8217;s raison d&#8217;etre is commissioning new Australian works, and it has commissioned 60 in the last four years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m incredibly proud of that; we are one of the highest commissioning groups in Australia,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We work with poets &#8211; our first project was with David Malouf, the second was with Gwen Harwood, and our third was with Tim Winton.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The newest collaboration is with acclaimed author and journalist Trent Dalton. The two artists are of similar age and grew up in the same era of 1980s Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This body of work is called <em>Lyrics that I wrote on Queensland Rail trains between 2002 and 2006 for bands that never existed in my head<\/em>, and 20 years later, we&#8217;re turning them into music,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/06\/40A6834_70928.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">After a year of grief and circumspection the future is looking bright for Katie Noonan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t help writing these songs.
