Award-winning country music duo Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley today share their long-awaited third studio album ‘ Souls On Show’ featuring the new single of the same name, as they prepare to perform at the Gympie Music Muster tonight.
Recognised as one of Australia’s leading country music duos, Brooke and Adam deliver their most candid and cohesive collection of songs in both their careers with ‘ Souls on Show’ – and it delivers exactly what the title promises. Written by Brooke and Adam, produced with award-winning Australian record producer and engineer Scott Horscroft and multi-award winning Australian producer Andy Mac, the album was recorded live with their band at The Grove Studios, each musician given the space to improvise and flourish, and you can hear it in every moment of space and spontaneity the record breathes.
Their previous album ‘ Up, Down & Sideways’ announced Brooke and Adam as a genuine force, debuting at #1 on the ARIA Australian Album chart, hitting #1 on the Country Album chart, and produced multiple award-winning singles at the Golden Guitar Awards and ARIA nominations. ‘ Souls on Show’ is the next chapter; it dives deeper and celebrates harder. It’s an album born from community, connection and celebration, showcasing real emotion, honesty and performance in an era obsessed with polishing every human edge away in AI-driven plastic perfection. The songs come from a range of sources – old ideas, new inspirations, and the mind of a five-year-old – but the finished products are rooted firmly in the here and now.
Speaking about the album Brooke and Adam share, ”o ur album Souls On Show was written while we either took the position of casual observers, watching from the grandstand or vulnerable self evaluators standing in front of a mirror, in both we tried to make sense of and celebrate the craziness, joy and confusion of life. We recorded live with our touring band, in the studio together, no AI, no bullshit, just music.”
The record opens with ‘ 321 ’ a joyous mission statement inspired by Brooke and Adam’s son Elroy’s imagination, celebrating a life spent chasing songs, family and adventure together. From there, the album continues to reveal different sides of Brooke and Adam’s world. ‘ Dance Dance Dance’ is a warm-hearted reminder that love is often found in life’s simplest gestures, turning an ordinary night into an exuberant celebration of connection and commitment. ‘ Nowhere and Back Again’ captures the easy chemistry that has become Brooke and Adam’s trademark, finding romance not in grand plans or destinations, but in the comfort of simply being together. One of the most pulsating choruses of the album appears in ‘ In and Out of Love’, a song born from watching a friend fall apart. The Adam-driven ‘ Man I’ll Be Tomorrow’ is told from one father’s desire to adapt in a changing world, but it never relinquishes the sense that these are universal feelings. From the rousing and defiant single ‘ Now I’ve Said It’, born from a jam during a community festival soundcheck, to the Top 10 Australian Country Radio hit ‘ Someone Else’s Dream’, a track that takes the infectious cadence of walking through an unfamiliar city, Brooke and Adam are inviting and self-aware: these are their songs, but everyone’s welcome to share them. The sing-along anthem ‘ Too Long Between Drinks’, which debuted at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, is utterly joyous and jubilant. By the time closer ‘ Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah’ finishes its cathartic sing-a-longs with the band jamming and Brooke’s vocals soaring, it’s impossible not to be optimistic and upbeat.
One of the album’s most poignant moments arrives with ‘ Beautiful American Morning’, written in response to the devastating reality of school shootings, it contrasts the optimism and promise of an ordinary day with the unimaginable heartbreak that can follow in an instant. It’s a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and stands among the most affecting songs Brooke and Adam have ever recorded.
The new single and title track, is the thematic centerpiece of the album, the philosophical heart. Built around the idea that every life is a canvas painted by our choices, words and actions, the song challenges listeners to consider what they reveal to the world and what legacy they leave behind. Its message of authenticity, compassion and human connection resonates throughout the entire record, giving the album both its title and its purpose.
Renowned for their high-energy live shows Brooke and Adam are hitting the road on a massive 33-date ‘ Souls On Show’ Australian East-Coast Tour kicking off in November. Packed with brand new music alongside fan favourites audiences know and love, the tour promises plenty of laughs, incredible music and the undeniable chemistry that has made them one of Australia’s most beloved duos. Before then, Brooke and Adam will be performing at the Gympie Music Muster Festival tonight and over the weekend before heading to Savannah In The Round and Coffs Harbour Country Music Festival in October .
