Hanging out with your dad can be pretty cool, especially when you play music across the world together.
Williamstown’s Caitlin Rizzoli first got on stage with her father Tim, of Point Cook, at her uncle’s wedding in Ballarat when she was nine or 10.
Since then, they have been to far away places and accompanied household names.
The duo claimed victory in the Voice Generations in 2022 and were invited to perform for Hugo Boss in Metzingen, Germany, for their its birthday in July 2024 as the only act to hail from outside of Europe.
In November 2024, they joined Jon Stevens and Kate Ceberano across Australia on the Superstars Live National Tour.
Guitarist Tim and his trusty custom Telecaster brings blues, country and rock influences, while pianist Caitlin brings a softer side with her soul and pop touch.
“The best part about dad and I being from different generations is the fact that we can both bring a different flavour to the music we write and perform,” Caitlin said.
Tim’s musicality has helped Caitlin find her own voice as an artist and performer.
“It definitely influenced my love for music of that generation, not only just to listen to but it definitely had an influence on the way that I write and perform my own music,” she said.
Beyond getting to hang out with his beautiful daughter, Tim said the privilege of watching Caitlin’s evolving talent night after night is the most rewarding aspect of the gig.
“From watching her and listening to her, I have become a better singer.”
Tim and Cailtin are about to kick off their own tour on Saturday, March 1, at the Memo Hall in St. Kilda.
