Liam Gerner and The Sunset Pushers feature a trio of Melbourne’s finest seasoned music masters in the great Steve Hadley, Toby Lang and Shane Reilly, and together with Liam they bring experience in droves and a thirst for new songsploration.
Since the release of Liam’s debut album ‘Land Of No Roads’, Liam has been touring relentlessly throughout Australia, New Zealand and the USA whilst also finding precious time for writing new songs. Now based in Melbourne after 10 years overseas Liam has had the chance to collaborate and build a band and bond with his new compatriots.
The album was recorded in three days in both Melbourne by Roger Bergodaz and in the USA at Rick Rubins Shangri La studio Malibu where drummer Jay Bellerose (Ray Lamontagne, Robert Plant), bass player Jenn Condos (Bruce Springsteen) Mark Goldenberg (Jackson Browne) joined the band. Kasey Chambers, Luke Moller, Eric Lynn and many wonderful musicians also feature on the album.
Liam speaks: “Since returning to Australia, much of my writing has been focussed around my connection to home, that being the conflicting emotions and realities of what it means to be Australian. My blood has been reboiled by the music of acts like Midnight Oil, Archie Roach, The Cruel Sea, and my minds been reeling around the writings on Australia since white fellas arrived by folk like Don Watson, Neil Murray and Banjo Patterson.”
