Grab your keys, Jamie Lindsay is taking you on the Open Road.
Heading on a roadtrip? Open Road forms a perfect soundtrack for your adventures, inspired by the New England Highway scenery on his way to the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
“I had this song in my head when I hit the New England Highway as I got closer to play in Tamworth,” he said.
“We had been in lockdown and it felt so good to get out on the open road and, as soon as I got to Tamworth, checked into the caravan park, I smashed out a shell of Open Road.”
Open Road follows on from hit single, Bring On The Summertime, which is nearing 100,000 streams internationally and enjoying playlisting success.
Escaping the city for the trip inspired the Ettalong-based artist in such a way in January, that he had the song ready to play in April for the belated Tamworth Country Music Festival.
“I played it for the first time at the Tamworth Services Club and it feels a little Keith Urban-ish, harking back to the feel of Somebody Like You,” he said.
“It’s all about that feeling of freedom and breaking those chains of the city.”
The combination of rocking guitars and banjo means this needs to be cranked up in the car.
It’s also the perfect touring song for Jamie.
“I’m excited about touring, playing festivals and seeing the country,” he said.
“We’re so lucky we have all these places in Australia.”
For the ultimate driving song, wrap your ears around Open Road and escape the everyday.
