"Words and music flow out of Van Walker like the rivers that sometimes set the scene for his wonderful storytelling..." 4.5 Stars Martin Boulton, The Age EG

Melbourne's best kept roots secret Van Walker hits the road nationally to commemorate the launch his latest album Underneath The Radar - which is out now through The Fuse Music Group. Van is set to bring to life the wonderful words and music that have made him a live favourite in his adopted home town of Melbourne and is sure to further cement his rightful place at the forefront of the Australian roots music.

Van Walker moved from the wilds of Tasmania to the big smoke of Melbourne in 2001. Along with forming his band The Swedish Magazines in 2003, Van began developing an extensive catalogue of solo material with songs numbering into the hundreds began playing them around town. Word soon spread that this troubadour was bringing a new energy into a well-worn genre which culminated in Van's first solo album The Celestial Railroad, which was acclaimed by Rhythms Magazine as, ""A hell of a prolific record, with song writing and delivery constructed to break the hearts of many in the Aussie Roots scene who have tried for years to express themselves in this manner."

From here literally hundreds of songs followed and so did the releases including The Last Record Store, Greetings from Penguin Tasmania, Love Fate, Bush League Bard. In fact, Van produced nine full length albums in just over two years, and independently released five, without management or funding, building his own name and audience through passion & hard work, a one man cottage industry personified.

In 2011 The Fuse Music Group announced that would channel this amazing back catalogue of barely controllable creative energy and launch the music of Van Walker to the wider world via the introductory album Underneath The Radar. The album compiled the five independently released solo albums between 2008 & 2010, a cherry picked a collection of incredible songs designed to announce to the rest of the world that Van Walker is a prolific song writing talent, a brilliant performer and a star worthy of wider recognition .

Sat 11 February - Frank The Poet Fundraiser

After 2 and a half years of research, planning and elbow grease Aussie roots record label Stobie Sounds is on the cusp of releasing their next compilation album . . . and we're on it. 12 poems attributed to Irish convict Frank The Poet will form the theme for this year's outing.

Frank The Poet (AKA Francis McNamara) was transported to Australia from Ireland in 1832 for the crime of stealing a plaid, or so the court records say. Not three months after landing in Sydney for his seven years in servitude Frank had once again fallen foul of the law and so began a life of hard labour, incarceration, laceration, agitation … and poetry.

To help record some of the final tunes and get the album mastered Stobie Sounds is putting on a benefit gig at the Wheatsheaf Hotel on Saturday February 11 featuring sets by Max Savage and us. 8pm. Click on the pic for more deets.
