There are several new albums out this week: Home Fires from the wonderful Victorian duo Small Town Romance; Old Enough to Know Better from Nashville resident Lily Grace; Ease Your Troubled Mind from Pete Cullen, and the EP KICKONS from The Wet Whistles. And last week alt-country duo Amarillo released their album Golden Mountain, but I missed it so it’s included here.
New singles out this week include a dynamite track from Melanie Dyer featuring Australian Idol winner Dylan Wright; a lovely song from 2024 Toyota Star Maker winner Wade Forster; the latest from fan favourites Andrew Swift and James Blundell, and ‘One Horse Town’ from Jemma Beech. Plenty of variety, lots to explore in depth, and a weekend in which to enjoy it all. The full track list appears after the Spotify player. Or listen on YouTube instead.
