AMY SHEPPARD AND THE WOLFE BROTHERS TEAM UP FOREPIC NEW COUNTRY DUET ‘FOOL OUTTA ME’- OUT NOW
Australian country heavyweights Amy Sheppard and The Wolfe Brothers today release their powerful new duet ‘Fool Outta Me’, a bluesy and emotionally haunting ballad that examines the end of a relationship from both sides. Written together in Tasmania, the song unfolds as a striking “he said / she said” conversation between two people reflecting on the same breakup. While the man admits the mistakes that led to the relationship’s collapse, the song offers space for both voices to be heard, revealing the complicated truth that heartbreak rarely belongs to just one person. Built around smoky production and deeply emotive performances, ‘Fool Outta Me’ blends classic country storytelling with contemporary polish, delivering a track that is as intimate as it is radio ready. The duet format allows both artists to inhabit the emotional centre of the song, turning the narrative into a conversation rather than a confession. Amy Sheppard is best known globally as co-lead singer and songwriter of Sheppard, whose catalogue has amassed billions of streams worldwide. Alongside her work with the band, she has built a thriving solo country career, earning multiple Top 5 singles and her first #1 on the CountryTown Charts with ‘Small Town Rumours’. Sheppard is also an ARIA Award and Golden Guitar winner, and one of Australia’s most-played female artists on country radio. Her personal journey has also resonated strongly with fans, with her IVF experience widely documented in Australian media. Last month, Amy and her husband welcomed their first child, Frederick, marking a joyful new chapter in her life and career. The Wolfe Brothers are one of the most successful acts in Australian country music history. The band has earned 15 Golden Guitar Awards – including 2026 Album of the Year and Group of the Year – along with 32 additional nominations and five Top 10 ARIA Albums. Their catalogue of chart-topping releases and electrifying live performances has cemented them as a cornerstone of the genre. Both artists continue to reach major audiences on stage. Amy has recently performed on the main stage at CMC Rocks and delivered headline performances at Savannah in the Round and Groundwater Country Music Festival – including a widely celebrated set while in the late stages of pregnancy. With strong radio support and growing international attention, both Amy Sheppard and The Wolfe Brothers remain central figures in Australia’s thriving country scene. The collaboration arrives at a particularly exciting moment for both acts, with both nominated for Album of the Year at next week’s CountryTown Awards, while Amy is also nominated for Female Artist of the Year and The Wolfe Brothers for Group of the Year. ‘Fool Outta Me’ captures the vulnerability and complexity that sits at the heart of great country songwriting – two voices, two perspectives, and one story that lingers long after the final note. QUOTE – AMY SHEPPARD“Writing ‘Fool Outta Me’ with The Wolfe Brothers felt incredibly natural because we all wanted to explore the truth of what really happens when a relationship falls apart. From the start, it was special knowing this song would live as a true duet, because they co-wrote it with me and brought so much heart and honesty into every line. Instead of pointing fingers, we leaned into the grey areas – the miscommunication, the regret, the things you wish you’d said differently. There’s something creatively powerful about slowing everything down in a ballad and letting the emotion breathe, and I’m so proud we get to share this story together.” QUOTE – THE WOLFE BROTHERS“Writing ‘Fool Outta Me’ with Amy was one of those rare sessions where everything just clicked straight away. We loved being able to tell both sides of a story and let the song live in that emotional middle ground, rather than choosing who was right or wrong. Turning it into a true duet made it even more powerful, because it feels like a real conversation between two people who still care. It’s honest, vulnerable, and exactly the kind of song we’re proud to stand behind.”
