Career edit
2012–present edit
In 2012 Mooney released her debut EP Another Year On.[1]
In 2014, Mooney formed the folk group All Our Exes Live in Texas alongside fellow singer-songwriters Elana Stone, Hannah Crofts and Katie Wighton. The group has gone on to tour nationally, and win the ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album in 2017.
In 2019, Mooney launched Supergroup at Sydney's Giant Dwarf. Supergroup is describing by Mooney as "half chatting and half music" with each show featuring Mooney and three guest musicians talking and taking turns playing songs from their respective catalogues.[1] Mooney said "That concept of having four artists onstage sitting in a circle … it's a very folky traditional thing. It's a lovely way of sharing music. And I wanted to take that and elaborate on it a bit and see what would happen if there were people from really different genres, so that's where the Supergroup thing comes in."[1] Guests included Tim Rogers, Montaigne, Lisa Mitchell, Urthboy and Murray Cook.[4]
In April 2022, Mooney confirmed Supergroup was relaunching and touring outside of Sydney for the first time.[4]
In May 2023, Mooney announced the forthcoming release of her debut studio album Full of Moon, preceded by the singles "War Romance", "I Am Not in a Hurry", "Break It Off",[2] "Soothe You" and "Nothing Is Forever"
