Van Walker & Band

Van Walker is a Tasmanian native whose prolific songwriting has seen him become a cult figure locally in his adopted Melbourne, having composed over 500 songs across many genres, releasing 6 full-length albums between 2008 & 2010, a selection of which the Fuse Music Group released in 2012 on the Underneath the Radar compilation which met with national critical acclaim, prompting Beat Magazine to quip: 'If Bob Dylan was born 20 years later and grew up fraternising in Collingwood bars, he would sound like this,' and Mess & Noise to state, 'Literary vigour and scathing social commentary, if there is any justice in this world, Underneath the Radar will provoke a radical awareness & appreciation of Van Walker’s songwriting talents.'

Since then Van has been busy touring nationally and internationally, writing and releasing two albums with the power-pop outfit The Livingstone Daisies, recording Heartbrokers Vol. 1O with Jeff Lang, Ezra Lee & Ash Davies; forming the three-piece blues-boogie outfit Goatpiss Gasoline; while also writing and performing as a member of the critically acclaimed Vandemonian Lags stage production.

His latest solo album, Ghosting, is yet another critical success, topping many Best Of polls for 2020, including 2nd position on Rhythms Best Australian Albums for 2020 Readers Poll.
