He has not only written songs for his own recordings but for other artists as well, including the late Slim Dusty. Those songs are now collected in a new book, My Lyrical Life.Connors has had - and continues to have - such an interesting musical life that there was much to ask him about, and his perspective on songwriting and his role as a songwriter was fascinating. We also spoke about the process of putting the book together, and his upcoming shows at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, which will be quite different to each other - details and links below.Sunday, January 21: Capitol Theatre, Tamworth NSW –The Songwriter… 50 Years On - TicketsFriday, January 26: Tamworth Town Hall, Tamworth NSW – The Performer… 50 Years On - TicketsFor more on Graeme Connors: https://graemeconnors.com/To buy My Lyrical Life: https://graemeconnors.com/product/graeme-connors-my-lyrical-life/Listen to Graeme Connors on Apple MusicListen to Graeme Connors on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

*mild language warning*Henry Wagons is known to many as the host of Tower of Song on Double J and to many others as the head honcho of the band Wagons as well as a solo artist. His latest album is South of Everywhere and it was recently nominated for an ARIA award. Wagons is also one of the most dynamic live performers anywhere, of any time - never not completely entertaining, regardless of song or venue, small audience or large. When I interviewed him not long before Christmas it was a great opportunity to talk about the art and craft of his performances, and he gave fascinating insight into that as well as his development as a musician and songwriter, and his recent UK tour. There's also some discussion about tennis because we're both tennis players - but sport is relevant to music too! Wagons is playing the Tamworth Country Music Festival with Lachlan Bryan on 25 January 2024 at 2.30 p.m. - tickets here. He's heading back to the UK and Ireland in late February and March.For more on Henry Wagons: https://www.wagonsmusic.com/Listen to South of Everywhere on Apple MusicListen to South of Everywhere on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Melbourne four-piece band Kingswood - whose members are Alexander Laska, Fergus Linacre, Josh Koop and Jack Davies - released the country-rock album Home early in 2023 then followed it with bluegrass album The Tale of G.C. Townes. In and around these releases they played over 100 shows across Australia, and they are heading to the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January 2024 (details below along with other dates). Just before Christmas I spoke to founding member Fergus Linacre about the contemporaneous recording of Home and The Tale of G.C.

Singer, songwriter, guitarist and fiddle player Bonnie Kellett is one of the busiest live performers in Australia, between solo performances and touring with Amber Lawrence. But in 2023 she also found time to release her debut album, Hidden Spirit, and a completely new single, ‘Bare Feet’.Having seen Kellett play several times in 2023, with Amber Lawrence and under her own steam, and when we spoke late last year I was keen to find out more about her and discovered just how rich her background in music and performance is. It was a very interesting conversation and I'm sure you'll enjoy getting to know Kellett better, as I did.(My tripod fell over twice during the interview - out of hundreds of interviews it's ever happened before - and the second time I managed to not set it up again properly, so you'll see the top of my computer for the last few minutes.)For more about Bonnie Kellett: https://www.bonniekellett.com/Listen to Bonnie Kellett on Apple MusicListen to Bonnie Kellett on Spotify Follow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

When 'Sinner', the debut single from Central Coast (NSW) artist Ruby Shay - featuring her band The Red Horse - was released in October 2023 it was immediately clear that Shay is an artist with power and presence. Her voice is rich and captivating, layered with so much emotion and compassion that it was obvious in that song she had much to say and one song was never going to contain it all.Having now heard her second single, 'When They Call Me', due for release in early 2024, it's clear that impression was not misplaced. Interviewing Shay recently gave me the opportunity to find out more about this singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and we were quickly in the territory of life, death, art and inspiration. Shay brings her whole self - light and dark, shades in between, past, future and present - to her music and I loved talking to her about it all.For more about Ruby Shay: https://www.instagram.com/rubyshaymusic/Listen to 'Sinner' on Apple MusicListen to 'Sinner' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Shyanne Irwin is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who grew up in the Hunter region of New South Wales and currently lives in Newcastle. She released the album Out of This Town last year and has a brand new single, ‘Where I Want to Be’.'Last year was my first year of living away from home and studying at uni, so this song has all the feelings of loneliness and sadness of moving away,' says Irwin. 'It’s all about leaving behind familiar faces and the memories of a small town to pursue my dreams in the city and how I navigated that change. Despite the feelings of loneliness, it’s also got a feeling of purpose and determination because I know I’m where I should be for my future.'Irwin is a multi-instrumentalist as well as a singer and songwriter, and it became clear during our recent chat that she is passionate about and devoted to music, and to sharing it with others.For more about Shyanne Irwin: https://shyanneirwin.com.au/Listen to Shyanne Irwin on Apple MusicListen to Shyanne Irwin on Spotify Hosted on Acast.

Zac Cross Band are a four-piece from Rockhampton in Queensland with members Zac Cross (lead vocals, guitar), Lachlan Plant (lead guitar, backing vocals), Joe O'Shaughnessy (bass) and Bailey Connor (percussion). They released the EP Times Like These last year and have an album in the works. Their new single is ‘Too Far Gone’, which was initiated by Connor. 'Bailey was constantly sending me lyrics,’ recalls Cross. 'They all had a similar sentiment in that feeling of missing someone. The feeling just straight up sucks. So, we wanted to make a song that tells a story of a fresh love and those first- time feelings that you experience with someone new.'Recently I spoke to Zac Cross about the song, the formation of the band, and about his own songwriting process, which comes from a place of authenticity and a willingness to connect with an audience. For more on Zac Cross Band: https://www.zaccrossband.com/Listen to 'Too Far Gone' on Apple MusicListen to 'Too Far Gone' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

His latest album, All My Friends are Superstars, was released this year.

She released a self-titled EP in 2020 and her debut album, Sticks, Stones and Stories, last year. She now has a really lovely new single, ‘Too Far Down’, which is actually a song about standing up for oneself.'“Too Far Down" is a vulnerable song,' Brooke says. 'It speaks of comparison and the temptation to stray from your path, abandoning yourself in attempt to seek approval or personal gain.'We spoke recently about the song, the album and Brooke's musical life - as well as some of the more esoteric parts of creativity.For more about Katie Brooke: https://www.katiebrookemusic.com/Listen to 'Too Far Down' on Apple MusicListen to 'Too Far Down' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

She released an EP in 2020 and there have been other singles since. Her latest is ‘Do Without’.The song is, says Denvah, 'the result of me stopping and comprehending all that had happened, almost as if the song was a diary entry. The writing process for this song happened quickly, for I feel the lyrics consist of all the things I never said, so it spilled out from my head to paper rather fast.'We talked about the new song, and other songs, and also about Denvah's experiences with those prestigious competitions.More about Denvah: https://www.denvah.com/Listen to 'Do Without' on Apple MusicListen to 'Do Without' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

James Johnston’s debut album RAISED LIKE THAT made history as Australia’s largest debut country album. It has reached #1 on the ARIA Top 20 Australian Albums (All Genres) and the #1 on the ARIA Top 20 Australian Country Albums. Johnston has spent over 115 consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of the Country Hot 50 National airplay chart, amassed over 55 million global streams, delivered six #1 airplay hits, received two Golden Guitar awards (from six nominations) and played many festivals. I first interviewed Johnston towards the end of 2021, with the interview published in January 2022, and the trajectory of his career has been absolutely no surprise. Johnston worked diligently at honing his performance and songwriting skills for years before he recorded and released even one song. Since those first singles he's also become expert at social media, something we discussed in relation to his single 'Same Songs'. This latest interview is the fourth time we've spoken, and this time it's about the album, which is a magnum opus from an artist who is only just beginning. In this chat Johnston talks about how being 'raised like that' was the theme for not just that first single but the album itself. We also spoke about his current tour.For more about James Johnston: https://jamesjohnston.com/Listen to Raised Like That on Apple MusicListen to Raised Like That on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Originally from Bega in New South Wales, Corey Legge now lives in Wollongong. He’s a prolific songwriter, releasing three albums in quick succession and now anticipating a fourth, produced by Nash Chambers. Legge's latest single is ‘Friday Nights’. It would be easy to say Legge is a prolific songwriter, given his output, but it's probably more correct to say that he's a committed one, because that word more accurately reflects his consistency and work ethic, balancing other work with his music, never resting on his laurels. This year he’s also done some touring in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium, and we talk about that as well as 'Friday Nights' and the upcoming album. For more about Corey Legge: https://www.coreylegge.com/Listen to 'Friday Nights' on Apple MusicListen to 'Friday Nights' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Shara Rose is a singer, songwriter and professional dancer, so music is in all aspects of her life. Originally from Perth, she now lives in New South Wales. This year she’s been on tour with Jason Owen and Tania Kernaghan, and she’s been releasing singles, ‘Coming Home’ and the latest, ‘Four Chord Song’.Shara and I had a long conversation because she has many interesting and insightful things to say, apart stagecraft and performance, songwriting and music in general. We also spoke at length about her song 'Hold On' and what inspired it: her experiences with endometriosis. I appreciated her candour about the difficulties this condition has presented her with as a performance and no doubt others will appreciate having their experiences acknowledged simply by her talking about them, given that endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects many women yet it's not talked about as openly as it should be.For more about Shara Rose: https://www.shararosemusic.com/Listen to Shara Rose on Apple MusicListen to Shara Rose on Spotify Hosted on Acast.

John Spence was a member of the 1990s band The Fargone Beauties, which turned rock songs into bluegrass songs and whose members included James Gillard of The Flood. Since then John has worked behind the scenes in the music industry but he's now back behind the microphone with the songs 'Burning Sky' and '(Everybody Wants to be a) Winner'.'Burning Sky' is the story of young friends who undertake an adventure to the far west in search of mining work. 'The idea was to dedicate a year or so of hard labour to build a cash reserve to set them up for later endeavours,' says Spence. 'But ongoing droughts and tough economic conditions bring about the demise of the town and its industry, forcing some hard decisions about whether to pursue their outback dream, or head back to the city. It is not an entirely fictional story, and based on the ongoing challenges of remote communities in ever deteriorating harsh environments.'Spence has had a fascinating career that has now brought him back to original music.

She was also one half of country music duo The Heartleys, releasing two albums. This year she has been working on a new solo album and from it comes the new single ‘Love’s Got a Witness’.'This song was inspired by one of my best friends who was out dating,' says Mahon. 'My friend had met someone pretty special and she wasn’t sure what was happening, she had never been in love before. Seeing her light up when she talked about him, and sharing her feelings of butterflies I could see in no time she would be falling in love. It was so gorgeous to witness something so magical for her. If you have been lucky enough to fall in love, let this song take down memory lane.'Mahon and I talked about the song and her rich family musical history, which continues through the youngest generations.For more about Kayla Mahon: https://www.kaylamahon.com/Listen to 'Love's Got a Witness' on Apple MusicListen to 'Love's Got a Witness' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Nathan Lamont grew up around Wagga Wagga in New South Wales and has been a performer for several years, appearing on television show The Voice twice, as well as twice being a Toyota Star Maker Grand Finalist, and for good reason: Lamont is a wonderful singer. He has now released a country-pop single, 'Drink You Up’.The Wiradjuri man forged his musical path from a young age, despite some obstacles, including going in and out of foster care. It was his stepmother Millie who brought him into country music, as she was the president of the Leeton Country Music Association. Lamont says of his songs, 'I try to write music that is uplifting or positive, I struggle to tap into my struggles as it unravels too many unaddressed things from the past.' New single 'Drink You Up' is a glorious tribute to Lamont's wife, and I asked him about that and many other things when we chatted recently.For more on Nathan Lamont: linktr.ee/nathanlamontofficialListen to 'Drink You Up' on Apple MusicListen to 'Drink You Up' on Follow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo Stokes grew up on the land near Tamworth in New South Wales and spent the first part of his working life in the corporate world in Sydney before moving back to the New England region, where he now works in the arts. He released his exceptional debut single, 'Atlas', last year then followed it with 'Headed Country'. His latest single is 'Same Damn Walls', which - like his first two singles - has elements of his personal story in it and was produced by Rod McCormack. All three singles have shown Stokes to be an artist with a clear vision of the stories he wishes to tell and the skills to bring them to audiences clearly and appropriately to each song. His training as an operatic tenor has no doubt helped with his delivery, but it all stems from his desire to be authentic as an artist. Stokes is working on an EP, and we talked about that, his songwriting and more.More about Jimbo Stokes: https://jimbostokes.com/Listen to Jimbo Stokes on Apple Music Listen to Jimbo Stokes on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Kiara Rodrigues grew up in Far North Queensland and she now lives in New South Wales. Over the past few months she’s released the singles ‘High School Reunion’ and ‘Message in a Bottle’. Her latest single is the powerful ‘Ain’t Your Rehab’. Says Rodrigues: 'I wrote this song thinking about how sometimes we go into relationships thinking we can fix someone and put them back together again. That can often come at the price of our own wellbeing, and its inevitably unachievable.'We talked about the new song and Rodrigues's plans for her EP, which will be released before the end of the year. She is a songwriter with a talent for writing memorable melodies and covering relatable subjects with a fresh perspective, which means you never know what to expect from her songs - in a good way.

Mikhail Laxton is a singer-songwriter from the KuKu Yalanji tribe in Mossman, Far North Queensland, who now calls the province of Ontario in Canada home. Laxton's music has influences of Americana, country, folk rock and blues and all of those are present on his excellent self-titled debut album. There's a range of stories and moods on this album; what the songs have in common is that they're irresistible.Laxton and I had a wide-ranging conversation when we spoke recently, talking about how songwriting helped him manage depression, what it was like to embark on a career in a different country, and the Rabbitohs. And given that many years ago I did a stint on Canadian university radio and a street-press music magazine, I relished the chance to find out what was happening in the Canadian music scene, of which Laxton is now a part. Hopefully he'll return to home shores at some point, though, so we have a chance to see him play these wonderful songs live and experience the passionate entertainer who is so evident on the album. For more about Mikhail Laxton: https://mikhaillaxton.com/Listen to Mikhail Laxton on Apple MusicListen to Mikhail Laxton on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

North Queensland artist Josie released her debut single, ‘Down Here’, earlier this year and it’s had over 140 000 streams already. Her latest single is ‘Freight Man’, which she wrote with multiple Golden Guitar winner Travis Collins. The song is a tribute to her truck-driving father, and it was recorded with producers MSquared.'"Freight Man" struck a chord with them, they knew it had to be one of the songs we recorded,' says Josie. 'The vocal recording for this song was way different to "Down Here", I sang through the entire song top to bottom three times, and that was it. This song’s performance just came so naturally filled with passion and emotion, which made the recording process for this one so easy.'During our recent chat Josie talked about the song as well as the significant health challenges she has had to manage in order to pursue her music dreams.

Two of the six members are brothers Tane and Soren Walker, who talked to me about the formation of the band and about the song - and also about their musical bond.

Now they are collaborators, releasing the single ‘Your Heart of Gold’ earlier this year and with a new single, ‘Love Ya Like I Can’, and an accompanying tour (dates below).For two strong individual performers with their own interests and identities, a flowing, fruitful collaboration isn't a foregone conclusion. In this interview Joe Gow and Fields not only talk about but demonstrate why theirs works, not as a sum that is greater than its parts but a different entity that is at once formed yet shifting. Their first two releases - so different to each other yet complementary - indicate that whatever they shift to next, it will be inherently worth listening to.See Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields live:Oct 16 – Brunswick Ballroom, Wurundjeri (Melbourne) VIC **Oct 18 - The Great Club, Gadigal (Sydney) NSW **Oct 19 – El Horses, Dharawal (Nowra) NSWOct 20 – Kangaroo Valley Folk Festival, Wodi Wodi NSWOct 21 – Bootleggers, Dharug/Gundungurra (Katoomba) NSWOct 22 – Petersham Bowls Club, Gadigal (Sydney) NSWNov 10 – Odessa at Leavers Hotel, Dja Dja Wurrung (Crewswick) VICNov 11 – House on The Hill, Wurundjeri (Melbourne) VICNov 18 – The Junk Bar, Meanjin (Brisbane) QLDNov 25 – Marysville Music Festival, Taungurung (Marysville) VIC** Supporting Melissa Carper & Summer DeanFor more about Matt Joe Gow: https://mattjoegowmusic.com/For more about Kerryn Fields: https://www.kerrynfields.com/Listen to Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields on Apple MusicListen to Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Benny Elder is a singer and songwriter from Brisbane who has released several singles, the latest of which are 'Longing for Change' and 'She's Still Blowin' in the Wind'. Elder says of 'Longing for Change' that it 'is for everyone out there that works themselves to the bone chasing big dreams, and a life they think is going to make them happy. It’s coming to the realisation that enjoying the journey is the most important part of the process, and trying to slow down and observe what’s around them before it’s gone is the secret to fulfilment.'While music is Elder's present, and he is fully immersed in it,it wasn't his past: he's a mechanical engineer by trade, and I asked him about that as well as his songwriting and singing. For more about Benny Elder: linktr.ee/_bennyelderListen to Benny Elder on Apple MusicListen to Benny Elder on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Cass Hopetoun and Blake Dantier both released debut albums in 2022, Hopetoun with Not Your Typical Bride and Dantier with Dry Season, and both found themselves nominated for the 2023 Golden Guitar for New Talent of the Year. In the past year they also got married and became parents, so there's been a lot going on. While it may seem natural for the pair to record together, they've only now released their first duet ‘Some Things Never Get Old’. It was produced by Dantier and Simon Johnson, who worked together on Dry Season, and mixed by Matt Fell, who produced Not Your Typical Bride. It's a dream team for a song that's all about appreciating moments and memories.We spoke recently about 'Some Things Never Get Old' as well as songwriting process and those competing Golden Guitar nominations.For more about Cass Hopetoun: https://www.casshopetoun.com.au/For more about Blake Dantier: https://blakedantier.com.au/Listen to 'Some Things Never Get Old' on Apple MusicListen to 'Some Things Never Get Old' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Andy Penkow released his second album, Love, Lies & Dirty Dishes, last year and and received a Golden Guitar nomination for Bush Ballad of the year. He has already released some brand new music this year, the singles 'Driving You Home' and his latest, ‘Aussie Rain'.‘As a full time musician, I get the amazing opportunity to travel across Australia and visit some pretty neat places,’ Penkow explains. ‘I first visited a small town in outback New South Wales called Coonabarabran a few years back and I felt an instant connection. There was something so special and unique about it. The people, the land, the history, the nighttime stars, it really moved me. “Aussie Rain” is a love letter to the town, to thank them for being part of my journey as an artist, singer and songwriter.’Recently I spoke to Penkow about the song and its video, as well as his travels to Nashville and Canada, as well as what music means to him.For more about Andy Penkow: https://www.andypenkow.com/Listen to 'Aussie Rain' on Apple MusicListen to 'Aussie Rain on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Small Town Romance is a duo from Melbourne whose members are Flora Smith and Jim Arneman. After releasing their self-titled debut album in 2016 they released the single ‘I Don’t Believe You’ in 2020. Their latest single is the enchanting ‘Home Fires’, taken from their forthcoming second album.Both Smith and Arneman have rich musical backgrounds. Arneman is a part of a grand Australian country music lineage: his mother, Anne Kirkpatrick, is the daughter of Slim Dusty and Joy McKean and a cherished artist in her own right. Smith too has taken a fascinating path through playing, writing and performing music, as I discovered when I talked to them both recently. Arneman is also a filmmaker who not only created the documentary 2020 Slim & I but makes the video clips for Small Town Romance, and we spoke about that too.For more about Small Town Romance: https://www.smalltownromance.com.au/Listen to 'Home Fires' on Apple MusicListen to 'Home Fires' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

When starting an interview, even with artists I've interviewed before, I have no expectations about which direction the conversation may take. Part of the fun and fascination of interviewing is the not-knowing: anything can happen, and it is always going to be interesting. Before interviewing Victorian artist Matt Malone I knew that in For the Term of My Natural Life, his third LP, he'd produced an album full of epic mini-tales (perhaps that's a contradiction in terms, but it fits here) and thought there would be a story there about, well, storytelling. The interview moved away from music fairly quickly but came back to it, and over its course Malone was indeed fascinating to talk to. The interview could have gone much longer but attention spans being what they are, we kept it under half an hour, so you then have time to go and listen to his album.For more about Matt Malone: https://mattmaloneandtheholyspirits.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-term-of-my-natural-lifeListen to For the Term of My Natural Life on Apple MusicListen to For the Term of My Natural Life on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

They attended the Academy of Country Music together and have recorded a new song, 'Fallin' for a Cowboy'.It was great to talk to this talented pair about how they came to write together and what they have planned, and how they work together given the geographic distance between them. The interview was done on the day they recorded their single, so the experience was very fresh in their minds.For more about Zara Lindeman: https://www.facebook.com/zaralindemanmusic/For more about Eloise Rayner: https://www.instagram.com/eloiseraynermusic/Follow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Camille Trail is a Queensland artist who was nominated for a Golden Guitar for Best New Talent after releasing her impressive debut album, River of Sins, in 2021. The album was top 5 in the ARIA Country chart and also led to a Queensland Music Award nomination. Since then Trail has played at Folk Alliance at Kansas City and released a new song, ‘Gotta Get to Know You’. When she wrote the song, says Trail, ‘my long-term partner and I had split up and it was that moment where … what do I do now? I moved to a whole new place, I got new friends, new hobbies, completely started over. Everything is new and different and exciting now and I wanted the music to reflect that as well.'Trail is a powerful singer-songwriter and her new song is further proof of that. It was a pleasure to speak to her recently about that and find out what she's been up to lately.For more about Camille Trail: https://www.camilletrail.com/Listen to Camille Trail on Apple MusicListen to Camille Trail on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Kaylens Rain was formed by siblings Glen Harrison and Kaylee Stewart. They released two albums of great country pop, In Our Blood in 2016 and Found in 2018, then took a long break to focus on their young families. Kaylens Rain have now returned with Stewart's husband, Joel, as a member and a new song called, appropriately, ‘One Song Brings You Back’.The song was originally pitched to the band in 2018 by Nashville-based writers Brett Rutledge and Jessica Campbell Waterman. 'We instantly fell in love with the ideals and meanings these words had for each of us at the time,' says the band. 'In collaboration with Brett and Jessica, we were able to rework the lyrics to tell our own story and added it to our live set. After spending the last few years raising our young families, it was a matter of finding the right time to release music again.I spoke to Harrison about the song, about playing music with his sister, and more besides.For more about Kaylens Rain: https://www.kaylensrain.com/Listen to 'One Song Brings You Back' on Apple MusicListen to 'One Song Brings You Back' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Felicity Dowd is a singer-songwriter from the south coast of New South Wales and CMAA Academy of Country Music graduate who released her first single, ‘Blue Skies’, last year. Her latest song is the quite lovely ‘Honeycomb & Glue’.'This song has seemed to connect well with so many different people. It’s about the couples that don’t make sense on paper, they’re a bit abrasive, but no matter what, they’re strong relationships and stick together through thick and thin,' says Dowd of her single.'They support each other through hard times. This can also relate to families, and all those connections that can last through as many different circumstances as possible - that’s a beautiful thing. I think of this as a mature love song because they’re stuck in love. The song is also very Australian.'Dowd spends a lot of her time on the road, living in a caravan while studying at university and playing gigs. It was such a treat to talk to her recently and find out more about this talented, inspiring artist.For more about Felicity Dowd: https://www.felicitydowd.com.au/Listen to Felicity Dowd on Apple MusicListen to Felicity Dowd on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Tammy Moxon released the album Drive Me Sane in 2019 then the brand new single ‘Fighting Chance’ earlier this year. At the same time as writing and recording music she keeps up a brisk performing pace in her hometown of Townsville in Queensland.Moxon now has a great new follow-up single, ‘Comfy’. 'It was the first song I wrote in that three months of the initial pandemic shutdown,' says Moxon. 'I was determined to write a happy love song ... The definition of "comfy" according to me – the state of contentment in a relationship. Knowing, without a doubt, that your partner is right for you. Feeling like you can be yourself in his presence and still get butterflies.'Moxon and I had a chance to chat about 'Comfy' and quite a few other things.For more about Tammy Moxon: https://www.tammymoxon.com/Listen to 'Comfy' on Apple MusicListen to 'Comfy' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Luke O’Shea has won a lot of Golden Guitars – sixteen – and two of those were won this year for the song ‘South East Queensland’ and its video, which O'Shea co-directed with Jay Seeney. The last time O'Shea won a Golden Guitar for a video it was only last year, for ‘Long Way round’, performed with Ashleigh Dallas and the video also co-directed with Seeney. O'Shea has now reunited with Dallas for the single ‘Next Best Thing’, which is also the title of his forthcoming album. They are a fantastic pair, bringing joy and depth to their joint projects, as they do to their solo work. O'Shea is always interesting to talk to and this time we talked about 'Next Best Thing', making music videos, songwriting and more. For more about Luke O'Shea: https://lukeoshea.com/See Luke O'Shea at Kangaroo Valley Folk Festival (NSW) - https://www.kangaroovalleyfolkfestival.com.au/ticketsListen to 'Next Best Thing' on Apple MusicListen to 'Next Best Thing' on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.

Catherine Britt and Lachlan Bryan have so many awards and nominations between them that you'd be reading for a while if they were listed, but suffice to say they are two of the most eminent singer-songwriters in Australian music and luckily for us they decided to work together as The Pleasures. They have released several singles, including 'Every Story Has Two Sides, and have now released their debut album. It is called The Beginning of the End but hopefully it is just the start for this pair, who have brought their formidable talents, skills and experience to this project along with considerable respect for each other and an openness to whatever their collaboration may bring. And it has brought a singular album that is full of fire, reflection, melancholy and momentum. I spoke to Britt and Bryan about it recently, and what a fascinating chat it was - an insight into the process of bringing this magnificent album to life.For more about The Pleasures: https://thepleasuresmusic.com/Listen to The Beginning of the End on Apple MusicListen to The Beginning of the End on SpotifyFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website Hosted on Acast.

Last year she was a Grand Finalist in the Toyota Star Maker competition and released her second album, Just Be. She has just released a brand new song, ‘Something About This Town’.'I wrote this song about all the beautiful small-town people in sunny Queensland where I live, who have always believed in me.

A few months ago country-pop artist Chloe Styler released the EP Side A, always with the intention of releasing Side B, which she now has. Side B is more introspective in tone that its sister release, with first track and current single 'Hometownless' leading listeners deep into Styler's heart.'These five songs mark the end of a six-year chapter of my life, and to be honest, I’m really looking forward to leaving these memories in the past,' says Styler.In between her A and B Sides Styler played at CMA Fest in Nashville, which was far from the first festival she's played as she's appeared at Falls Festival, Gympie Muster, Deni Ute Muster and Groundwater.She is also not resting on her laurels, as I found out when we spoke recently, as she is already working on new music. For more about Chloe Styler: https://www.chloestyler.com/Listen to Side B on Apple Music: https://apple.co/45QD3ouListen to Side B on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/0IqgLQnE3JCcNmdj71B1Oi?si=emqTuQQFRwaZV0rInwNDLgFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunburntcountrymusic/Follow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunburntcountrymusicSunburnt Country Music website: https://sunburntcountrymusic.com Hosted on Acast.

Earlier this year Matt Joe Gow released his fourth album, the excellent Between Tonight & Tomorrow, then he set out on a tour of his homeland, Aotearoa New Zealand with compatriot Kerryn Fields and they released the song ‘Your Heart of Gold’. There will be more releases from the pair but Joe Gow has also returned to the title track of his album and with longtime collaborator Andrew Pollock recorded a different, remarkable version of it, after a strong audience response to the song as he has toured it in Australia and New Zealand.The reprise version of 'Between Tonight & Tomorrow' is the single from the EP Closer to Tomorrow, which also features electronic remixes of the song, suggested by sound engineer Chris Elliott. Joe Gow and I had a chat about this project recently - and while an interview wouldn't usually focus on one song alone, if ever a song deserved it, this is the one. For more about Matt Joe Gow: https://mattjoegowmusic.com/Listen to Closer to Tomorrow on Apple Music: https://apple.co/3YVP8WXListen to Closer to Tomorrow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1dHmenNYjzlW0IfMxNEA2i?si=r6aCFgnHSdOx4hLC49pn7gFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunburntcountrymusic/Follow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunburntcountrymusicSunburnt Country Music website: https://sunburntcountrymusic.com Hosted on Acast.

Chris Carrapetta is an alt-country artist from Sydney who released the EP I’m Not a Stranger last year and recently released the album Nothing Left to Lose, which contains the singles 'This is Not the End' and 'Golden Mile', and showcases Carrapetta's soaring vocals. 'The title Nothing Left to Lose is mostly about expressing the idea that once you get to a certain point in your life where you stop caring so much about what people think about you and who you are, it’s about feeling comfortable in who you are in your own skin and feeling less that you have to try hard to fit in or be someone you are not,' says Carrapetta. We spoke about the album recently, and delved into Carrapetta's musical past.For more about Chris Carrapetta: https://www.chriscarrapetta.com/Listen to Nothing Left to Lose on Apple Music: https://apple.co/47Gh8SuListen to Nothing Left to Lose on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/3gQb3tphgnTBZmrKU7EFPy?si=GO8ntXhXQjGSARjJNgjvIgFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunburntcountrymusic/Follow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunburntcountrymusicSunburnt Country Music website: https://sunburntcountrymusic.com Hosted on Acast.

TC Cassidy released the album Travelling Heart last year after a long absence from country music (and we talked prior to its release). It was nominated for a Golden Guitar for Traditional Country Album of the Year, which was quite the comeback. And the theme of a comeback is also present in TC’s latest single, ‘Alive Again’.Once again Cassidy recorded with Angus Gill, who produced Travelling Heart. 'We were talking about what to record next when Angus mentioned this song that he wrote with Alan Mackey, Tim James and Rivers Rutherford,' says Cassidy. The song was born in 1976 when Mackey was working with TV show Countdown. 'Alan started writing the song, but then shared the concept with Angus (decades later), and they co-wrote it with Tim James who has written for Chris Stapleton and Rivers Rutherford who wrote 'When I Get Where I’m Going" for Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton,' says Cassidy.The theme of 'alive again' has special resonance for Cassidy who has, as I discovered in our latest interview, overcome considerable challenges in order to be able to embrace music again. For more about TC Cassidy: https://www.tccassidy.net/Listen to 'Alive Again' on Apple Music: https://apple.co/3KR6fUhListen to 'Alive Again' on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1VWrQSrvdXdINdU10CukfF?si=a3b64d357b964373Follow Sunburnt Country Music on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunburntcountrymusic/Follow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunburntcountrymusicSunburnt Country Music website: https://sunburntcountrymusic.com Hosted on Acast.

Jade Holland has released two albums, Dream Wild and Leather & Les Paul, and followed them last year with the completely infectious single ‘Oh My Heart’. She now has a new single, ‘Wild in Me’, which is captivating in a different way.The song was written by Holland with Alys Ffion, and is, says Holland, 'a story about how sometimes we carry our heartbreaks through to the next relationship and don’t really notice that they are holding us back from finding "the one".' But, says Holland, 'Jade says: 'Once you meet "the one", finally those heartbreaks all seem to disappear. It makes way for this new found love in your life and those small pieces of you that were being held back, have now been embraced by this new human who loves you for exactly all that you are.'During our chat Holland talked candidly about the writing and recording of 'Wild in Me' as well as other aspects of her life as an artist and how she embraces not only the wild in her but the wild life of creativity.For more about Jade Holland: https://jadeholland.com/Listen to Jade Holland on Apple Music: https://apple.co/3KLmoKKListen to Jade Holland on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0fHLzgaigV23z0vU2cji3h?si=YzkbcA53T5Oki3lxiaNgcAFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunburntcountrymusic/Follow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunburntcountrymusicSunburnt Country Music website: https://sunburntcountrymusic.com Hosted on Acast.
