Dean Perrett Returns With His Brand New Album And Single

‘Famous At Home’ is the latest single to be lifted from Dean Perrett’s brand new album ‘Bush Troubadour,’ his 19th full album release.

We all know a person we have met on life’s journey who we can picture in this scene, those down to earth, hardworking folk, who are the definition of humbleness.

‘Famous At Home’ is modelled from one such person who was an inspiration to Dean. His pride was in raising his family of hard-working, God-fearing salt of the earth people. His focus was never of riches or wealth. He never made the big time, but his heart would swell with proudness when he said he was “famous at home.”

The track was co-written with the great Australian wordsmith, Colin Buchanan, and recorded under the masterful production of Lindsay Waddington at his LWM House Studio.

For an authentic traditional Australian country sound, look no further than bush ballad singer-songwriter, Dean Perrett.

There is an old saying, write and sing about what you know, and having been raised on the family cattle property Bowenfels, a soul of pure country is a natural thing.

Dean’s credibility as a writer of Australian bush songs goes unquestioned. When not making music, he was in the saddle on his family’s Queensland cattle property. Just like Dean, the songs he writes and sings, are authentic and genuine. This is why the great Australian music genre, the bush ballad, is so important to him.

Over the last 35 years, Dean has gained his place as one of Australia’s favourite bush balladeers and leading traditional country artists.

Flat River Band consists of three brothers Andy, Chad and Dennijo Sitze.

The brothers would hurry home each day to enjoy reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard. One day, as they watched Rosco’s speed trap antics in Hazard County, The Oak Ridge Boys took the stage at the Boar’s Nest. It was during this performance that the brothers first heard the song “Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight.” This experience marked a pivotal moment for the Flat River Band, bringing their journey full circle.

JAY SANTILLI UNVEILS HEART-WRENCHING NEW SINGLE “REWIND” – A SOULFUL TAKE ON LOVE, LOSS AND LETTING GO.

Following the breakout success of “TROUBLE,” Jay Santilli returns with a heartbreak anthem you’ll want to have on repeat.

After teaming up with Tori Darke for high-energy hit single “TROUBLE”, which was added to numerous editorial playlists on Spotify and Apple Music as well as being on high rotation across most major Australian country radio stations-Jay Santilli is back with another powerful release, “Rewind.”

Written alongside Nashville-based talents Noah Needleman (who also produced the track) and Morgan Johnston, “Rewind” digs deep into the emotional loop of a relationship that’s hard to let go. With raw honesty and a soaring chorus, Santilli captures the cycle of leaving, returning, and reliving every high and heartbreak. It’s a track about holding on too long, hoping for the kind of goodbye strong enough to finally break the pattern.

“‘Rewind’ is one of those songs that came straight from the heart. I wrote it in Nashville last year with Noah Needleman and Morgan Johnston, and it felt like something really honest was pouring out of us in that room. Noah also produced the track and brought so much care and emotion to it. It’s about that feeling of getting stuck in the past, replaying the good to justify the bad and I think so many people will connect with that. I’m so proud of this one and can’t wait for it to be out in the world.”

Jay Santilli

A rising force in the Australian country scene, Santilli continues to build momentum with sold-out headline shows, major festival appearances, and high-profile support slots for artists including Kaylee Bell, Taylor Moss, Travis Collins, and more recently Josh Setterfield, Tom Busby and many more. Having just returned from Italy where she performed at the Sweat and Dust Country Music Festival, she now launches into promoting “Rewind” which is another bold step forward, showcasing her ability to pair emotional depth with undeniable hooks-and solidifying her as one of the genre’s most compelling voices.

With each release, Jay Santilli continues to carve out her unique space in the country music landscape-where soul, strength, and storytelling intersect. As her fanbase rapidly grows and her voice resonates louder across the nation, she stands as one of the most exciting and authentic new voices in the genre.

Australia’s cowpunk misfits Wattmore are back-again-with “Romantic Side,” a punk-country sucker punch to modern dating culture that refuses to die quietly. You thought this song was a one-night stand? It’s still in your kitchen, eating cereal in your band tee.

Since its release, “Romantic Side” has:

Clocked nationwide radio play across community and commercial stations
Picked up ink from Rock Era, IndieDock, Broken 8 Records, and other discerning weirdos
Proven that sarcasm and sincerity make a killer couple

Now, in its third radio wave, “Romantic Side” returns with new reviews, new listeners, and the same big heart wrapped in barbed wire. It’s cheeky. It’s sharp. It’s got twang, teeth, and a chorus that sticks like a bad decision.

Produced by Lindsay Waddington
Written by Aiden & Kai Boak + Allan Caswell
Comes fully loaded with grit, hooks, and just enough sarcasm to be legally classified as therapy.

“It’s a nostalgia-soaked lament for love before the digital apocalypse.” -Indie Dock

“Raw, rollicking and razor-edged.” – Broken 8 Records

“A genre-smashing single… cheeky energy and rebellious charm.” -Rock Era

You don’t have to like country. Or punk. But you will remember Wattmore.

Produced by Carson Chamberlain (Billy Currington, Easton Corbin), the record received widespread acclaim with The Tennessean saying it’s full of “star-making tunes,” while Country Central praised, “Cold Beer & Country Music is a masterclass in traditional country music…With a record this strong, Zach Top has proven himself as a standout rising star in this format and a premier vocalist in country music.”

Raised in Sunnyside, WA, Top grew up on classic country music around the family farm. At the age of seven, he formed a band with his siblings which set the stage for his musical ambitions. Throughout his teenage years and early twenties, Top honed his craft by playing in various bluegrass bands before moving to Nashville in 2021, where he has been steadily making his mark as an artist to watch.

Col Finley, a 2025 Hands of Fame Inductee, has an impressive 30-year history in music. His remarkable wife, Nellie Finley, also forged a successful career in Australian Country Music before choosing motherhood and becoming a small-town hairdresser in the hinterland of Queensland`s Sunshine Coast.

“Give Ya That Country Song” is a feel-good anthem designed to lift spirits and provide comfort during life’s challenging moments.

“We’ve poured our hearts into this project, sharing our story of the good and the hard of our life experiences,” said Nellie Finley “We want everyone to know that no matter what life throws at you, there’s always a country song that can fix your heart and soothe your soul.”

A Journey of Music, Love, and Resilience

BILLIE-JO PORTER SPINS HEARTACHE INTO HARMONY WITH HER NEW SINGLE ‘ROUND AND ROUND’

Billie Jo-Porter makes music for the soul. Her latest single, ‘Round and Round’, is her most introspective release yet and is an honest reflection on the emotional loops we find ourselves in. The track follows the success of her previous single ‘This Is Us Here’, a joyful ode to living in the moment, which climbed to #21 on the Country Songs Top 40 Australian Airplay Chart, hit #1 on the AMRAP Regional Chart, and earned playlist adds on Apple Music’s Aussie Country and Country Risers.

It’s often that tragedy is the catalyst for great art. “When I wrote Round and Round, there were some big shifts happening in our family,” Billie-Jo shares. “My partner’s grandma had just had a stroke. It was a moment that really made us stop and take stock.”

Amidst the turbulence, the song became both an anchor and compass, a melodic meditation on duality. “I found myself thinking a lot about how there’s always another side to every situation,” Billie-Jo continues. “The flip side. You know, the light and the dark, the joy and the heartbreak. Round and Round came from that space.”

Both a rallying cry and a gentle hand on the shoulder, the song became “a bit of a pep talk – the kind you give yourself when things feel a bit wobbly.” It’s a song about connection, and the beauty of having someone to share the ride with, or the resilience to ride it alone.

Its groove is meditative, hypnotic even – a patchwork of jangly guitars and earthy drums, ducking and weaving between Billie-Jo’s vocal. Her voice has a certain ease to it, grounded yet driven – “Round and around we go / Dancing with the highs & lows / Like a real life rodeo.”

Produced by multi award-winning Shane Nicholson (Beccy Cole, Lyn Bowtell, Tori Forsyth), the recording process ventured into new territory for the singer-songwriter, who worked remotely with Nicholson for the first time. “When we got the first mix back, my partner and I put it on repeat and danced outside on our balcony. I just love how it turned out. It feels so good. I feel so grateful for Shane. He’s really brought all my songs to life. He’s helped carve out a sound and a vibe that feels distinctly mine, and that truly conveys what I want to put out into the world as an artist.”

The release adds another chapter to an already striking career. Billie-Jo’s 2023 self-titled debut album hit #4 on the ARIA Charts, was crowned ABC Country’s Album of the Week, and saw her voice described by Sunburnt Country as “heart and sunshine wrapped up in great melodies and soulful vocals.”

The 2022 Toyota Star Maker Grand Finalist has also opened for some of the country’s most iconic names – Pete Murray, Tim Freedman, and Melanie Dyer among them. Later this year she’ll be burning rubber across NSW.

“I’m always out playing shows and love getting to new places and coming back to familiar ones too. That’s the best thing about music for me: the connection. Sharing songs, bringing some joy, and being in a room with people who love music as much as I do, that’s what it’s all about.”

In ‘Round and Round’, Billie-Jo Porter offers a moment of stillness in the spin of life. It’s a reminder that even in times of uncertainty, there’s strength in softness, beauty in the in-between, and grace in simply holding on. With every line and note, she invites listeners to find peace in the patterns, comfort in the chaos, and joy in the journey, no matter how many turns it takes.
