What has Casey Barnes been up to lately? OR A Song That Makes You Smell The Roses

Time feels slow until it doesn’t. One minute you’re planning the year, and the next you’re wondering how your kids are suddenly grown and how the calendar got so full. That’s where my chat with Australian country star Casey Barnes begins, and it quickly turns into a warm, honest conversation about music, family, and what it means to stay present while still chasing big goals.
Casey’s celebrating huge news: his eighth studio album, Made For This, is on the way, along with a national album tour and a stack of fan details we know you care about, from limited edition merch to a seriously special marbled emerald vinyl release. We talk about why albums still matter, why playing a record front to back feels different than skipping through singles, and how he’s shaped a tracklist with real range, from high-energy anthems to songs that hit close to home. We also shine a light on the team behind the sound, including M Squared and songwriter-producer Michael Paynter, and how that studio process pushes every line to land.
Then we get to the heart-stealer: “Time To Burn,” Casey’s first-ever collaboration with iconic Australian singer-songwriter Pete Murray. We unpack the story behind the duet, the perspective shift that makes it sting in the best way, and the simple message that keeps echoing long after the last chord: slow down, be grateful, and make time for what matters while you’ve got it.

Mick Arnold doesn’t chase the spotlight, but his story belongs in it. We catch up with the Rose Tattoo guitarist in the Zoom room and pull back the curtain on a career built on passion, persistence, and a serious love of loud rock and roll. From his school days in the Southern Highlands to picking up guitar and finding his own sound without a musical family behind him, Mick’s path feels honest, grounded, and very Australian.
We talk about the bands that shaped him before Rose Tattoo, the classic grind of learning through cover gigs, and the leap into originals and songwriting. Mick shares why collaboration matters to him, why songs need the right “vehicle” to really come alive, and yes, how a few beers can help the ideas flow. Then we get into the moments every rock fan dreams about: getting the call to play with the band he’d loved since 1977, touring, and the unreal Sydney night Rose Tattoo opened for Slash, with Slash jumping up to jam onstage.
There’s real-life wisdom here too. Mick breaks down how he balanced music with a trade job welding at Cockatoo Island, why having a backup plan kept the wheels turning with a mortgage and kids, and why musicians rarely ever feel “done.” We also look ahead to Rose Tattoo’s 50-year milestone, what retirement might mean for touring, and the possibility of new recordings and even one last album’s worth of songs.
If you love Australian rock history, guitar stories, and the behind-the-scenes reality of life in a working band, hit play. Subscribe, share with a mate, and leave us a review so more people can keep supporting Aussie music.

What happens when a frontman who’s lived two decades in Adelaide decides to compress Australian rock history into a one-hour Fringe blowout? We sit down with Dave Gleeson to chart the making of Long Way To The Top, a full-throttle, sing-it-louder celebration packed with anthems from Johnny O’Keefe and the Easybeats to ACDC, Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, Killing Heidi, and Baby Animals. The plan: tight medleys, zero fluff, and a setlist designed to keep the crowd moving from the first riff to the final chorus.
We get into why a local run changes everything. Instead of flights and 3am hotel check-ins, Dave leans into the luxury of consistency: same stage, same sound, and same room to refine the show night after night at the Fantail in Gluttony. He spotlights Adelaide talent with powerhouse vocalists Zkye and Rachel Vidoni stepping forward, and teases special guests—from Jack Jones to a possible John Brewster cameo—so each performance carries the spark of surprise. Along the way we trade stories that ground the myth: toilet-roof posters, private boxes on FringeTIX, and the joy of a community that knows every word before the first chord lands.
There’s reverence, not preciousness. We talk Kate Ceberano’s Australian Made Tour revival, why stripped-back sets still sell out, and how nostalgia isn’t about looking back—it’s about singing together right now.
Dave’s pride in his son James’s band sits next to a plea for endangered venues like the Woodshed, a reminder that the posters on the wall matter as much as the players onstage. We close by lifting Support Act, the charity that catches artists and crew when life bites, because a healthy scene needs both volume and a safety net.

The equipment in the background tell part of the story—but the rest comes from grit, range, and an instinct for what makes a song fit like your favorite jeans.
We sit with Michael Paynter to chart the path from a kid at the piano to a singer-guitarist trusted by Jimmy Barnes, performing on the AFL Grand Final stage with Robbie Williams, and now the lead stepping into John Farnham’s legacy with Whispering Jack - The John Farnham Musical.
Michael opens up about the voice behind the accolades—why big notes are less important than honest phrasing, how Jesus Christ Superstar pushed him to the edge in the best way, and why he rates Miley Cyrus among the great modern vocalists. We talk shop, but also about the quiet work: mixing on a laptop until time to take the stage, dialing back the studio grind when the road gets heavy, and protecting the joy that fuels a long career.
The Great Australian Songbook national tour is built for discovery. No fixed setlist. Different guests each show. Beloved classics chosen for feel, not obligation—yes, that means he’s happy to skip Khe Sanh and Great Southern Land when the moment calls for a different mood.
Away from the lights, Michael talks about parenting three young daughters, learning piano for the mind as much as the music, and modeling what it takes to turn a wild passion into real work.
Join us for a warm conversation that blends behind-the-scenes stories with practical wisdom for musicians and fans.

The Superjesus return with brand new single “Lights Out”. The driving, melodic track - written by Sarah McLeod and Stuart Rudd and produced by drummer Murray Sheridan - provides the perfect backdrop for McLeod’s distinctive vocal.
Sarah McLeod said of the track, “The Superjesus would like to dedicate this song to Rita Riman. Rita was a longtime fan - a member of the band’s very first fan club in the early 90’s. A group of music lovers met through our message board called ‘Static’… before My Space was invented… this group became very familiar to us and attended all our shows for the next couple of decades. Rita struggled with mental health issues for many years but her saving grace was always music. Sadly a couple of years ago we lost her, and it sent shock waves through all of us. So many people struggle with mental health issues in silence, we need to remember to ask each other if we’re ok. This song is for Rita and the fans who grew up with us.”
Since bursting out of Adelaide in the mid-’90s, The Superjesus have had nine Top 50 hits, two Top 10 albums, placed five songs in Triple J’s Hottest 100, won three ARIA Awards, and been inducted into the South Australian Music Hall of Fame.
Includes Songs:
The SuperJesus - Lights out The SuperJesus - Down Again Sarah McLeod - Gutter Queen The SuperJesus - Money (We're Only In It For Love)

We share a recent zoom room chat with long term Angels member, Nick Norton.
As the book The 100 Best Australian Albums highlighted, “The Angels can lay claim to being Australia’s longest-lasting band.” And with the band closing in on their 50th anniversary in 2024, they are embarking on an exciting new era, with the announcement of a brand-new lead singer.
The band’s new front man is a name very familiar to Angels fans. Stepping out from behind the drum kit to take centre stage is Nick Norton, who has been a member of the band since 2011.
“Nick is an incredible musician and a great singer and songwriter,” says Angels founding member John Brewster. “He obviously knows the songs like the back of his hand and the fans already know and love him, so he’s the perfect fit. We can’t wait to hit the road.”
We chat to Nick about his earlier bands, GangAwry and Acca Daiquiris, recording at legendary Australian record company Alberts and iconic Adelaide recording studio Mixmasters and the all important question, what is in his CD stacker at the moment.

Sinatra’s swagger meets a mic‑drop freestyle and the result is pure delight. We sit down with Adelaide’s own Hugh Sheridan to trace the spark that began on a kitchen‑table “stage” at age five and follow it all the way to a sharpened, joy‑driven career across theater, TV, and a beloved live act: the California Crooners Club. Hugh opens up about growing up in a creative family of seven children, a jazz‑playing dad, and the tough‑love push that turned dance from weakness into strength—proof that triple‑threat isn’t a label, it’s a work ethic.
Then we dig into the California Crooners Club itself: the Rat Pack look, tight harmonies, and bold arrangements that splice classics with modern edge. The signature twist arrives when Gabe steps forward to rap over standards, a move that wakes up nostalgia and makes new fans out of skeptics. With the show returning to the Adelaide Fringe, Hugh teases a fresh setlist full of old‑school gems, a Supremes tribute (sshhhhh), and a few timely surprises, all built to make the room light up. Along the way, we touch the tender stuff—releasing jazz recordings with his late father, crafting a Christmas album rooted in Adelaide, and writing a holiday track that’s joyful and honest.
Hugh also shares the real calculus behind career choices, from a left‑field run on The Masked Singer to the screen roles that many still cherish, including Pack to the Rafters and the INXS mini‑series. What ties it all together is a simple aim: entertain well, tell the truth in song, and send people home feeling better than they arrived. If you love live music, swing, Motown, clever mashups, or just a good origin story, this one’s for you.
If you enjoy the show, follow the podcast, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what classic would you love to hear remixed at the next California Crooners Club night?

What happens when four road‑tested artists put ego aside, pick up acoustics, and chase the pure heart of a song? We sat down with Monstr—a supergroup featuring members from The Superjesus, The Screaming Jets, TaxiRide and Dragon—to unpack how they’re reviving the spirit of MTV Unplugged while keeping it fiercely alive for today’s crowds. From their first studio step with Tears in Heaven to bold turns on Mariah Carey and Rod Stewart, the band shows why a strong melody and a truthful lyric can survive any arrangement.
We dig into the art of curation: balancing Seattle-era grit with pop brilliance, threading Bryan Adams’ emotional punch through Live’s cathartic anthems, and slipping mandolin and 12‑string textures into places you don’t expect. Each choice serves the room, not the playlist. That means rotating setlists, key changes that respect the singer, and arrangements that let the chorus breathe. Along the way, we swap stories about the moments these songs scored in our lives—because music is a time machine—and how that memory shapes performance. When Jimi lights up recalling Bryan Adams, or Pete leans into Emotions with a grin, you can feel the crowd lean closer.
Another spark here is community. Monstr brings together fanbases that rarely overlap, and that chemistry is electric. Screaming Jets shirts stand next to TaxiRide diehards, and by the end of the night, new favorites have been made on all sides. We talk Adelaide Fringe excitement, the thrill of sold‑out rooms, and why recording select cuts from the live list is the next smart move—capturing the unguarded takes that turned skeptics into believers. If you love acoustic performances, 90s rock, classic pop, Aussie music, or just want to hear great songs stripped to the bone and rebuilt with care, this one is for you.
Listen now, share it with a friend who lived through the MTV Unplugged era, and leave a quick review to help more music lovers find the show. Got a must-hear acoustic classic we should cover? Tell us—your pick might make the next set.

Four Golden Guitars, a sold-out Tamworth, and a denim-clad manifesto—Max Jackson joins us to open the door on Dangerous in Denim and why albums still matter. We kick off with the festival whirlwind, then dive into how she shaped an 11-track set that plays like a story from the first needle drop to the last ring-out. Vinyl and CDs are coming because this record is meant to be lived with, not skimmed.
Max takes us behind the pen, from writing rooms in Australia with Nolan Wynne, Gavin Carfoot, Amy and George Shepherd, and Kaylee Bell to Nashville sessions that brought fresh edges to her sound. We talk about the five unheard tracks as the connective tissue that turns familiar singles into a unified journey. Then we trace the unlikely rocket fuel: Little More Country. What started as a single became a series of reimagined classics—Dancing Queen, Summer of ’69—that racked up millions of views, hit viral charts in Sweden and Norway, and even caught ABBA’s attention. It’s proof that great songs survive translation when you treat them with heart and craft.
There’s more. A last-minute TV slot sparked Country Heart Can, written and recorded in two days with help from The Wolfe Brothers and producer Rod McCormack, earning a Golden Guitar nomination.
Max shares how small-town roots in Coonamble and a deep creative partnership with her husband Jeremy keep the engine steady, even as international invites roll in.
We also celebrate the broader wave: a 90s-country-style resurgence where boots, belt buckles, and big choruses feel fresh again—and Australian country is ready to travel.
If you love albums that breathe, stories that unfold track by track, and artists who build real community—think VIP breakfasts, acoustic mornings, and fans who become friends—this one’s for you. Visit maxjackson.com.au to pre-order Dangerous in Denim and if the conversation moved you, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—what song do you want to hear made a little more country next?
