Here I am!
G'day y'all,
In essence, I am a fan! I love music, personally, my favorite genres are Country and Rock, though I don't mind a bit of Blues and Folk every now and then.
I will be spreading the good word about Australian Country Music (albeit underground) and Indie Rock with its roots steeped in Country. So keep checking in for all the latest news and reviews on good Australian organic dirt music coming your way!
Now, a little about the Author... I grew up on a diet of Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Hank Williams, Tom Petty, Warren Zevon, Tom Waits, Steve Earle and The Clash. I'm a singer/songwriter that plays guitar, bass and percussion. I have a Diploma in Music Business that I studied for at the Contemporary Music Center in Western Sydney, I graduated top of my class with Distinctions and was presented with the Outstanding Academic Achievement award.
But like I said, "I'm A Fan!" My favorite bands/artists at the moment are:
(Australian) Tex Perkins, Nick Cave, You Am I, Perry Keyes, Wagons, The Audreys, The Re-Mains, The Wildes, Halfway, Mexico City, Chucks Wagon, Dave Garner, Dear Orphans, Anne McCue, The Waifs, The Flood, Nici Blue Eyes and there are so many more Aussie artists to mention, but I'm afraid I'll run out of room.
(International) Johnny Cash (as always), Tom Petty, Kane Welch Kaplin, Drive-By Truckers, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Old Crow Medicine Show, Felice Brothers, Justin Townes Earle, Elliott Brood, Hank III, Wilco, Ryan Adams, Neko Case, Gillian Welch, Waco Brothers (Jon Langford), Jason Isbell, The Reverend Horton Heat, Southern Culture On The Skids, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers and the list goes on.
Till next time... leave a little dirt on!
