After creating a buzz at last year’s Tussock Country Festival, Australian artist Jon Collins returns with his rollicking tales and zest for life. Growing up on the Central West slopes and plains Jon Collins has lived and made music across Australia for 20 years.

From humble beginnings playing guitar on the farm, Jon Collins took a masterclass in arrangement and storytelling while busking on Sydney’s streets which propelled him to Melbourne to record his debut album ‘Lovestrong’ at Sing Sing Studios. Jon won the male vocalist Gold Guitar Award at the 2024 Tussock Country Music Festival in New Zealand, with his skilful flat picking and soaring voice.

Jon’s music will remind you of hope as he breathes technicolour life into stories of emergency fuel deliveries in Kakadu and unlucky escapes to Louisiana and joy back home on the farm. Don't miss it.
