Good Will Remedy return with their new single,  “St George,” set for DSP release on  April 10 arriving just ahead of their regional tour as part of the  QLD Music Trails this April.Rooted in raw storytelling and driven by dusty guitars and wide-open rhythms, “St George” channels the narrative spirit and grounded honesty of Paul Kelly while carving out a sound that is unmistakably Good Will Remedy. The track is the result of the bands tour to the region in 2025 and paints vivid portraits of small-town resilience, long highways, and the kind of characters you only meet beyond the city limits.“‘St George’ is about the places and people that shape you,” the band shares. “We wanted it to capture the essence of our experience last year.”Built on twang-laced guitar lines, steady backbeat grooves, and a chorus that feels destined for pub sing-alongs, the single captures the band’s signature fusion of country soul and rock ’n’ roll grit. Local Release party at Leftys Music Hall and Hitting the Road despite the fuel crisis – April 2026

Golden Guitar Winner Releases New Song as a tributeto the resilience of bushfire hit communities
To coincide with a special disaster relief event, Golden Guitar winner Tom Curtain has released a new song   You Know You Will paying tribute to the resilience, grit and determination of the regional Victorian communities devastated by the January bushfires. Mr Curtain has taken his award winning  Katherine Outback Experience to Mansfield, where 100% of ticket sales are going back to the community to help in their recovery.“When I visited a local school some forty families were directly affected by the fires. Many of these families didn’t take initial help as their view was others were worse off,” Mr Curtain said.“The school observed the quality of lunchboxes and uniforms diminishing following the lasting psychological impact of the fires. The school has engaged FoodBank to support the families, a grant to ensure students have access to uniforms and a psychologist to support students and families.”“The song You Know You Will speaks to moments when things feel like they’re falling apart, as well as the inner resolve and resilience that it takes to keep going. The track captures the spirit of people who dig deep, stand their ground and push forward when walking away would be easier,” he said.“In our travels we meet people going through tough times following fires, droughts and floods. We hear their stories and draw inspiration from them and their strength to keep pushing through.” Mr Curtain said.While Tom is helping Victorian communities, his own home town in the Northern Territory has experienced a disaster of its own. Katherine and the Big Rivers Region recently experienced major flooding, reinforcing the message at the heart of the song, that communities are strongest when they stand together.Currently on the road for his  Here’s To You tour, Tom brings his unique blend of live music, horse training and working dog demonstrations to communities across Australia. After touring Queensland and New South Wales since October, the show will continue through Victoria before finishing up in South Australia in April.

BRYAN MARTIN UNVEILS “TUG O’ WAR,” HIS MOST VULNERABLE SONG YET, AHEAD OF AUSTRALIAN ‘WE RIDE DOWN UNDER’ TOUR
 
Acclaimed, chart-topping country artist Bryan Martin releases “Tug O’ War,” his most vulnerable song yet. With Martin’s gritty, blue-collar vocals and hard-hitting honesty, the song lays bare the daily struggle between sobriety and temptation. Written by Martin, Lydia Vaughan, Sam Martinez, Will Bundy and Heath Warren, the song strikes a chord with those who know how thin the line can be between falling and rising. “It’s about that internal battle,” shares Martin. “Every day choosing not to pick up another drink, you know, and feeling like you need it…feeling like you gotta have it to play a show or do whatever you need to do; to get through your anxieties and your struggles. You always feel like you got that angel on your shoulder and devil on your back. I think a lot of people can relate to this song.” Martin adds: “Many that follow me know that I battled with alcohol and drug addiction. This fame came out of nowhere. I was a songwriter, you know, and we sat down and we just got real brutally honest about everything. I think it was the day after I came off the Morgan Wallen tour. We wrote this song when I was just being brutally honest about my battle. One minute I’m trying to be the party, the next minute I’m partying too much. And I just think it’s one of those things where a lot of people can relate to that internal tug of war. So, I hope this song helps a lot of people and I hope they know they ain’t alone.”  Following the success of his Platinum-certified anthem “We Ride,” which has garnered over 500 million streams and soared into the Top 3 at country radio, Bryan Martin earned a 2024 MusicRow Awards nomination for “Breakthrough Artist-Writer of the Year.” In 2023, the Cherokee Indigenous American artist reached a career milestone by stepping into the “sacred circle” for his  debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry. Martin’s career-defining moments, including “We Ride” landing at No. 3 on Billboard’s “Country Airplay” chart and the music video accumulating more than 85 million views, have solidified his growing presence in country music. At 37, Martin continues to redefine the country music ladder with over 1.4 billion career streams, millions of monthly listeners, and a grit-soaked sound that resonates across a vast audience. Furthermore, he has shared the stage with Jason Aldean and Chris Young, and brought stadiums to life alongside Morgan Wallen on the blockbuster “One Night At A Time” Tour, cementing his reputation as a rising force in country music. However, Martin’s rise didn’t come easy. Born and raised in Logansport, Louisiana, his journey began in church, singing as a child. By eight, he was covering George Strait at local fairs, encouraged by his mother, who had performed alongside legends like Faron Young and Alison Krauss. But life took a hard detour. He pursued bull riding, worked hay fields, and battled substance abuse, hitting rock bottom at 19. A near-fatal car accident reignited his passion for songwriting, pushing him to make his guitar pay off and confront his struggles head-on.

A Band of Rain are a two-piece alt-country folk band from the Deep South – Melbourne. Songwriters Katrina Nolan and Stuart McCullough met through an online dating site and decided to form a band to annoy Katrina’s children. To that end, it’s been a raging success!Recognised at the Australian Songwriters’ Awards in 2025, A Band of Rain has been described in a recent publication as a ‘Skyhooks meets Johnny Cash and June Carter’. Duets are a tricky business. Two star-crossed lovers start by warbling sweet nothings as they gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes. But before you know it, they’re wading through more corn than Kevin Costner in his baseball field.A Band of Rain is aiming for something a little more fun.  Not many country duets mention ‘jorts’. Or shopping bags. And we’re pretty confident that there’s never been a duet that refers to ‘coddle’ – a traditional Dublin stew made with boiled sausages!Upbeat and joyful, I LOVE YOU WHATEVER is a country duet in the style of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, with a modern relatable twist.  

Sometimes the most meaningful moments are the quietest ones.

In 2025, he was also named a Top 10 finalist in the prestigious Toyota Star Maker competition.  Now on ‘Living This Life’, Keith celebrates the everyday moments that take on new meaning when shared with the right person. From long drives and afternoons out fishing to weekends camping and lazy days on the water, the track reflects the joy found in building a life together. Carried by bright guitar riffs, steady drums, and an easygoing groove, this laidback song is a reminder that happiness often lives in the simple moments spent side by side. Speaking on the track, Keith shares:”‘Living This Life’ is about choosing gratitude over grind and recognising that happiness often lives in the ordinary. It’s not about chasing something bigger. It’s about realising you’re already there, living the life you once dreamed of.”With its down-to-earth storytelling and feel-good country-pop rock energy, ‘Living This Life’ captures the spirit that has come to define James Keith’s music.
