Van Walker
Tassie's own Ramblin Van Walker is a prolific and celebrated songwriter in the genres of folk, blues, country and hardcore rocknroll, a 'cult figure' in his adopted home of Victoria, with a vast catalogue of poetic lyric-driven material that explore a range of personal and social themes.
His early solo work was compiled on the album Underneath the Radar 2008-2012 (Fuse music), rocknroll on I Wish Life Could Be...Swedish Magazines (Rubber Records, 4.5 Stars Rolling Stone), and solo albums such as Ghosting (Green South Records) the Rhthym readers runner-up Album of 2o2o.
He continues to tour consistently nationally and internationally, having just completed the latest triumphant run of the Vandemonian Lags theatre show after returning from another tour of Ireland and Canada where his new album Healing Descent was recorded, along with his work with The Ferriters, who have been described as "one of the best acts on the Irish-Australian scene" - Koroit Irish Festival. With his new electric group Hexham Heads, he continues to receive critical acclaim for his contributions to the industry.
