John Rowe

The music of John Rowe is the story of Australia, told with soaring melodies, driving rhythms and seemingly effortless songcraft. ‘Great Western Tears’ is John’s debut album, filled with the tales of hope, heroism and heartbreak that weave together the tapestry of our sunburnt country. From opening track ‘Tent City Leverage’, a political outcry lamenting the Americanisation of Australia, to the introspective closer, ‘Don Jensen’s Blues’, John has created an audio masterpiece that spans the national consciousness. Part country-rock and part pop, ‘Great Western Tears’ introduces us to the skill and musical craftsmanship of this talented singer-songwriter from Rockhampton. Tracks from ‘Great Western Tears’ received national radio airplay on Triple J, Triple M, B105 and ABC, with TV airplay on ABC’s Rage, Channel V and MTV.
