Interview: Sharna Burcher

Date: January 9, 2022Author: Sophie Hamley

Last year Broken Hill/Wilyakili singer-songwriter Sharna Burcher released her second album, the heartfelt and heart-capturing Backwards Town. It is an album that captures the lived experience of grief and resilience and hope, and in each song we hear what those experiences have meant to Burcher. Towards the end of last year we spoke about the album and her life in music. Watch on YouTube or listen on Soundcloud (below).

Jacob Vincent on his powerful new single 'What Would I Say' - Sunburnt Country Music

Brisbane-based singer-songwriter Jacob Vincent has just released his new single 'What Would I Say', just in time for Anzac Day, and the first single from his upcoming debut album, produced by Shane Nicholson and due for release in 2025. The song had its genesis at the DAG Songwriting Retreat in Nundle, NSW, where Vincent met poet Colin Defries. It pays tribute to diggers and their service, with a new take on this subject. Vincent grew up in a musical family in Tasmania - with his grandfather a member of The Singing Kettles - and developed a passion for songwriting and performing from a young age. He released his debut EP, Cold & Blue, in 2020. In 2022 he was crowned Best of the Buskers at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, and last year he was a Grand Finalist in the prestigious Toyota Star Maker competition. This year he returned to play a sold-out show with Kelly Cork at The Press. We talked about Vincent’s family background, and his years as a competitive swimmer and how that might have had an impact on his development as an artist. Vincent is a thoughtful and articulate with songs to match and a voice that brings his powerful stories to life.For more on Jacob Vincent: https://www.instagram.com/jacob_vincent/Listen to 'What Would I Say' on Apple MusicListen to 'What Would I Say' on SpotifyWatch the video for 'What Would I Say' on YouTubeFollow Sunburnt Country Music on InstagramFollow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook Sunburnt Country Music website Hosted on Acast.
