A storyteller, whose words and melodies weave through the dynamics and extremes of human emotions and relationships, with delicate and unique insight and observation. A perfect tapestry of melody soaked simplicity and thoughtful, heartfelt imagery.Hart is a throwback, who up on a diet of his father’s country, rock’n’roll and soul records. With staples such as CCR, Rolling Stones, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings echoing through the hallways and leaving their eternal mark.This multi award winning songwriter (2014 Songwriter of the Year, Australian Songwriters Association awards), delivers songs, often simple in nature, yet endearing in ways that remain with you. Hart can sing the life out of a heartache.Perhaps the soulful tenderness of Van Morrison against the back drop of a CCR choogle or a Kris Kristofferson tale of heartache hemmed into a countrified Stones’ groove. The likes of Tom Petty, The Band, Merle Haggard, Springsteen and Big Star also providing strong influence. Often complimented by a softer, more reflective skin which he switches to seamlessly.“Countrified soul” maybe, but to merely stop there would only scratch the surface of his musical landscape and nuances. Not one for pigeon holes, he transcends, yet seamlessly weaves country, folk, soul, blues and rock’n’roll to create a sound all his own.
