 Ange Boxall is a professional musician, business owner, and creative producer. 

She has 25 years’ experience in the music industry, touring the world performing, writing and recording.

Ange is also an experienced event producer and is the founder and creative producer of ECHO Festival – East Coast Harvest Odyssey, established in 2019.

Ange worked for Spring Bay Mill as Creative Producer for over two years and was the Programmer and Producer of Festival of Voices, ‘FoV Coastal’, for six years.

With strong programming skills, FoV Coastal saw among others, top acts Mental As Anything, Lime Cordiale, All Our Exes Live in Texas, Shane Howard & Yirrmal, Deborah Conway & Willy Zigier, Henry Wagons, and Bobby Alu grace various stages along the beautiful east coast.

Tasmanian-born, Ange spent over a decade living in London from 2000, with Nashville as a second home. However, given her a life-long love affair with the east coast of Tassie, she returned to live in Swansea in 2014.

She was a Director on the Board of East Coast Tasmania Tourism from 2019-2023.

A University student at Hobart’s Art School, Ange majored in Painting and Photography. During this period, she began a professional music career.  She has written and recorded with musicians JD Souther (Eagles / Linda Ronstadt), Alan Gregg (New Zealand’s Mutton Birds) and the late Bones Hillman (our own Midnight Oil).

Also, a high school relief teacher in London for six years, she taught across all subjects. It was a terrific experience to work with teenagers of such multicultural and diverse backgrounds. The final two years saw Ange, along with a group of young teachers, deliver the Duke of Edinburgh program, providing experiences for teenagers who would otherwise not have had such opportunities.

Once leaving the education system, she travelled the world as a market researcher for a retail design company based in the UK. Being a people person, Ange thrived in the psychology behind design and human behaviour.

Following a stint of her and Mike living in beautiful southern France, Ange’s last music tour of the USA, UK and Ireland took place over nine weeks when she was five and six months pregnant. This lead on to their move to Melbourne for two years before moving home to Tasmania in 2014.

ECHO Festival allows Ange the platform to combine and share all that she loves – art, music, food and booze, nature, the environment and climate issues, all delivered in educational ways that are immersive, inclusive and fun. Her passion for social equality and equal opportunity are ever-present in her life and work.
