Meet Jack
Australian songwriter Jack Nolan has spent nearly three decades quietly building one of the most distinctive catalogs in contemporary roots music. Hailing from Sydney, Nolan crafts songs that blur the lines between folk, country, rock and atmospheric Americana, creating a sound often described as “Darlinghurst Country”—a world where intimate storytelling, shimmering melodies, and cinematic landscapes coexist.
Drawing inspiration from both the Australian landscape and the rich traditions of American songwriting, Nolan’s music feels timeless yet deeply personal. His songs explore family, memory, place, longing, and the enduring search for connection, delivered through a voice that is warm, weathered, and unmistakably his own.
Over the past several years, Nolan has released a remarkable string of acclaimed recordings, including Our Waverley Star (2018), Gabriel (2021), Jindabyne (2023), Songs for Hemingway (2024), and The Lonely Petunia (2025). The latter marked his fourth collaboration with Nashville producer and multi-instrumentalist Justin Weaver (Wynonna Judd), further deepening his connection to the Americana tradition while expanding his sonic palette with mandolin, resonator guitar, piano, strings, and richly textured acoustic arrangements.
Critics have consistently praised Nolan’s ability to blend traditional songwriting craft with modern sensibilities.
“Nolan’s music isn’t just playing around with retros here; he’s reminding us how commonplace handmade music once was—and how good it can sound when produced with today’s knowledge.”

In 2026, Nolan enters an exciting new chapter with the release of a live acoustic album recorded at Nashville’s legendary Curb Studios. Capturing the intimacy and emotional depth of his songwriting, the collection offers listeners a rare glimpse into the songs in their purest form.
March 2027 will also see Nolan embark on his first United States tour, bringing his acclaimed songs and captivating live performances directly to American audiences. Whether performing solo or backed by collaborators, Nolan’s shows are marked by authenticity, storytelling, and a rare ability to make even the largest room feel personal.
For fans of Jason Isbell, Townes Van Zandt, Ron Sexsmith, Paul Kelly, and the rich tradition of singer-songwriters who place song above spectacle, Jack Nolan is an artist whose time has arrived.
