'The Songwriter...So Far'  It’s fair to say that Australian CMA (Golden Guitar) winner Angus Gill is a veteran of the Aussie music scene, having released 5 AU Billboard (ARIA) chart topping studio albums, garnered 13 #1s and 11 Top 10 hit singles on Australian Country Radio and an ARIA Awards nomination. He is also the youngest Australian male solo artist to have ever performed on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. He has either collaborated with or had songs recorded by US & Australian music royalty such as Steve Earle, Jim Lauderdale, Buddy Miller, Charles Esten, Eric McCusker (Mondo Rock), Diesel, Anne Kirkpatrick, Melinda Schneider, Graeme Connors, Beccy Cole, Adam Harvey, James Blundell, Pixie Jenkins, Allan Caswell, Billy Miller (The Ferrets), Bill Chambers, TC Cassidy and many more. Off the back of a huge 2023, which saw Gill release his fifth studio album Departure & Arrival (as Angus Gill & Seasons of Change), which rocketed to the #1 on both an ARIA & AIR Albums Chart. Gill is now releasing his first compilation album, The Songwriter…So Far on Friday 23rd February 2024. The 20 track release features Gill’s best, most requested and thought-provoking songs that have established him as a leading young Australian songwriter. The record also features 2 brand new recordings, including a re-vamped version of Gill’s staple song Roadworks, the poignant new Can You Imagine, a taster of Gill’s forthcoming collaboration project with Mondo Rock’s Eric McCusker. “I’m incredibly excited for this release. The last few years have been wild for me, juggling songwriting and production work with touring my new album projects. Winning my first Golden Guitar Award was a huge highlight and a full circle moment.” says Gill.
This release precedes Gill making his next big move, relocating from the small Mid North Coast town of Wauchope to Nashville, Tennessee. “It’s a bittersweet moment for me, as I grew up in Wauchope and have lived here with my family for most of my life. I cut my teeth singing bush ballads at the Timbertown Heritage Theme Park for four hours every Saturday, for $25 and a meat pie. At the same time, I am really looking forward to an exciting new chapter in Nashville. I’ve got many friends over there and I can’t wait to see them again in person and to keep challenging myself doing what I do, albeit in a different place, in a different hemisphere.” Comments are closed.
