Promoting Fine Australian Music and Words

Liam is a new presence in contemporary Australian music.

Writing songs and performing since the age of 12, his original sound shuffles between genres: folk, pop, rock, jazz, blues and country.

His gifted lyricism captures an emotional spectrum, from delicate expressions of youthful love, to courageous political commentary.


Yet the common thread between all of Liam's songs is that they are inherently Australian - an expression of identity - what it means to have grown up and to live in contemporary Australian society. Liam will no doubt become a provocative voice for his generation.

Wearing his musical heart on his sleeve, Liam conveys the sentiments and conscience of a new generation, with a live performance to match, either with his band, or solo.

 

Liam's debut EP was launched in February 2003, coinciding with his performance at WOMADelaide where he was joined by one of Australia's best known musicians, ABC Radio National presenter Lucky Oceans. The performance was sensational and Lucky Oceans was also obviously affected. The whole band grew another leg.

The success of this appearance led to an invitation to the WOMAD Reading Festival in the UK in July 2003.

 

"Many sources claim Australia is currently a hotbed of musical activity, something borne out by singer / songwriter Liam Gerner. Not yet 20, he wowed the audience and earned a rare festival encore"
