🎤 ABOUT THE ARTIST

Nigel Wearne saunters after dark in the music of the night, blending blues, jazz and

Americana-noir. Hailing from Gunditjmara country in the deep south of Australia, he’s a

guitarist and multi-instrumentalist with diverse influences such as Nick Cave, Tom Waits and

Rickie Lee Jones.

Nigel has played some of the world’s most prestigious music festivals, including Hardly

Strictly Bluegrass, MerleFest, Philadelphia Folk Festival, 30A Songwriters Festival, Bristol

Rhythm & Roots Reunion and the Cambridge Folk Festival (UK).

His sophomore album, ‘Black Crow’ garnered wide critical acclaim including a 4-STAR

review in Rolling Stone, a nomination for Best Country Album at the Music Victoria Awards

and it debuted at #1 on Australia’s AMRAP Charts. His 2023 album, ‘The Reckoning’

received back-to-back nominations for Best Blues Work at the 2023 & 2024 Music Victoria

Awards and a 4-STAR review in The Australian. 2025 marked a return to his roots as a folk

songwriter with his latest album ‘The Lone Reckoning’. A raw, emotive, stripped back

rendition of his 2023 award-nominated album ‘The Reckoning’.

A deep thinker and truth seeker with a penchant for all things peculiar, he sings of human

frailty, grace and the cosmos; songwriting that cuts to the bone. “Tailor made for fans of Tom

Waits… with fire and brimstone lyrics that recall Nick Cave” – Rhythms Magazine. “Poignant

and mysterious” – Maverick Magazine UK. “Vocal swagger of Van Morrison and dark

spirituality and intelligence of Nick Cave” 4 STARS – The Australian.
