Melbourne singer-songwriter Rose Zita Falko has appeared at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and participated in the DAG Songwriting Retreat at nearby Nundle, NSW, co-writing with the likes of Felicity Urquhart and Kevin Bennett. Her debut EP is Original Son and from it comes the evocative ‘A Town Called Lonely’, which has hints of the Wild West and of Lindi Ortega, and showcases Falko’s outstanding voice, which promises trouble and mystery and all sorts of other intriguing things.
Falko says that the song considers the idea that our state of mind can lure us down metaphorical and literal roads, away from the main highway. She took visual inspiration from her regular travels along the roads of country Victoria and New South Wales. The song earned Falko a semi-final berth in the 2017 International Songwriting Competition, and will no doubt also earn her fans looking for strong lyrics, a great beat and an arresting voice.
