Jack Nolan

From the vibrant heart of Sydney, Australia, Jack Nolan has been captivating audiences with his unique blend of songwriting and performance since the mid-1990s. His music is a tapestry of “mysterious and shimmering chords,” affectionately known as ‘Darlinghurst Country’ – a captivating fusion of folk, country, rock ‘n’ roll, and ambient atmospheres. Nolan’s passion for both intensely charged electric guitar and delicate finger-picked acoustic work creates a sound that is both raw and refined.

Recent years have seen a prolific output of critically acclaimed albums, including 2018’s Our Waverley Star, 2021’s Gabriel, 2023’s Jindabyne, and 2024’s Songs for Hemingway.

This October 2025, Nolan unveils his highly anticipated fourth collaboration with Nashville producer/musician Justin Weaver: ‘The Lonely Petunia’. This album showcases a beautiful evolution in his sound, embracing acoustic instruments like mandolin, resonator slide, piano, strings, and percussive drums. ‘The Lonely Petunia’ is a testament to Nolan’s masterful storytelling, inviting listeners on a journey through ethereal soundscapes, ultimately leading them back to the fundamental tenets of love, reality, family, and community – the simple things we often drift too far from.
