Lecia Louise Releases Single ‘Saturday Night’

June 17, 2026 Marshall Cullen

“Saturday Night” is a swampy blues stomper about the grind of everyday life, working hard, and often feeling like you’re getting nowhere. It captures that feeling of letting go, where the struggles of everyday life fade away, even if only for one night.

Written by Lecia Louise and 8 Ball Aitken, the track was produced by 8 Ball Aitken, Lecia Louise, and Michael Flanders, with additional engineering by Rick Hollis and Jasper Jolley. The recording features guest Newcastle vocalist Justin Ngariki, along with additional guitar work from Blues Music Victoria People’s Choice Blues Legend Award recipient Shannon Bourne. The song was mixed by three-time ARIA Award winner Jeff Lang and mastered by award winning mastering engineer, Matthew Gray.

Jack Nolan Releases Single ‘Craw’

September 17, 2025 Marshall Cullen

Jack Nolan’s “Craw” is a potent critique of political hypocrisy (“one rule for us, one rule for them”). Its minor-key acoustic swing and upright piano evoke a raw, barroom feel. Nolan’s lyrics, “Run the rabbit / Run the preacher / Run the whore / Run the sirens / Run the law / It gets in my craw,” convey deep frustration with systemic injustice. Recorded at Nashville’s Curb Studios with musical partner & producer Justin Weaver, “Craw” showcases their collaborative strength, proving a powerful sound needs only vision, not a large team.

Jack Nolan was thinking, of that first moment, when songwriting suddenly felt possible, when the penny dropped. “In my mid-teens, sitting alone on my bed, acoustic guitar in hand, trying to get it all happening, when I realised – these greats I love, Dylan, Bowie, Pink Floyd et al are playing all the same chords I’m playing” he says nostalgically “I could do this too – It was one of those split seconds that can alter your life, floored by the possibilities, the potential of music.”

On Nolan’s new album, The Lonely Petunia, he went to find that boy again, to honour that moment, that subliminal decision with his acoustic guitar.

Recorded in Nashville, “The Lonely Petunia” marks the eighth solo album by the Sydneysider. This intimate acoustic journey showcases the artist’s signature lyrical depth. Lush strings and piano add depth and character to Jack’s trademark storytelling. The album was produced by Justin Weaver, an American musician and producer celebrated for his collaborations with, amongst others, Wynona Judd and The Chicks. Nolan describes Weaver as a musical comrade, highlighting the great working partnership that spans over five albums.

Based in Sydney, Jack has been performing and releasing music and albums since the mid-1990s. In addition to an eight-album solo catalogue, Jack also fronted the Kelly Gang, alongside Rick Grossman, bassist for the Divinyls and Hoodoo Gurus, and Midnight Oil drummer Rob Hirst and guitarist Martin Rotsey. Their 2004 album, “Looking for the Sun,” remains a hidden gem, featuring an incredible lineup of musicians that delivered passionate and energetic live performances of the time.
