Sydney Street Blues

Sydney Street Blues is a gritty, folk-driven song written for the city I call home.

I had been working on this song for some time, trying to capture the feel of Sydney as it really is. The streets, the people, the constant movement, and the stories that play out in plain sight. After the tragic events at Bondi, where 15 Australians lost their lives, I knew I had to finish it. What started as a song about the city became something more grounded and personal, shaped by grief, reflection, and a need to say something honest.

This song isn’t about politics or headlines. It’s about people, place, and the shared experience of living in a city that’s been through a lot, but keeps moving forward. There’s a steady, driving beat running through it, the kind that mirrors the rhythm of the streets themselves, carrying the story without dressing it up.

Sydney Street Blues was written, recorded, and produced in my home studio here in Sydney. I kept it raw and stripped back, letting the lyrics and groove do the work, staying true to the song and the feeling behind it.

By purchasing this track, you’re supporting independent Australian music and an artist telling real stories from the ground up.

This song is dedicated to the 15 people who needlessly lost their lives at Bondi, and to a city learning how to carry both grief and resilience at the same time.
