It didn’t take him long to rise to feature status. The funny bogan even has a hit song on the charts Down Under called ‘Bloke’. In his own words, you can expect “a lot of Australianisms” and tons of laughs.

He has even worked with international music stars like Santana, Chris Isaak, Elvis Costello, Boz Scaggs, Status Quo, Tony Joe White & Bonnie Raitt. He is regarded by his peers as one of the best in the business.
