Sounds from Australia

20/07/2026 |

On "A Shearers Legacy," Australian artist Pete Rogers delivers a heartfelt, nearly six-minute homage to the rugged outback and the enduring spirit of his grandfather’s life as a shearer. Blending the gritty, earnest storytelling of alt-country with the raw, soulful textures of blues rock, the track is a masterful piece of regional narrative produced at Vibetone Recordings Studio QLD. The song’s authenticity is deeply rooted in Rogers’ own upbringing in rural Queensland, where he first picked up a guitar and cut his teeth playing in a family band alongside his father and brother. After a 17-year hiatus dedicated to building a business and raising his own family, Rogers’ return to music at age 37 feels both deliberate and profoundly genuine. "A Shearers Legacy" is more than just a nostalgic tribute; it is a triumphant, grounded reclamation of his lifelong passion, beautifully bridging generations of Australian heritage with a renewed, full-time dedication to his craft.
