  • About Justin Walshe Folk Machine

  • “Taking his audience on a wandering, dusty, train-hopping folk tour through early-Australian history, tonight’s performance certainly established that, at this point, one would be hard-pressed to name a more evocative or entertaining storyteller in the folk-rock genre.”
    Xpress Magazine

    "A Justin Walshe Folk Machine live show sits somewhere between a campfire yarn, a sea shanty, bush poetry and a country rock hoedown. In a one hour set you might get an historical anecdote about convicts and shipwrecks, croony, delicate tales on love and whisky (in no particular order), and plenty of barnstorming folk rock to tie it all together. The band's second album Walking To China, replicates the experience well, but heightens the natural drama of songs like Pockets Full of Gold with cinematic flourishes and sound effects."
    Xpress Magazine

    "Fremantle's folk-country extravaganza leaves nothing in the tank to create it's own kind of raucous, foot-stomping, front bar, whisky-drinking, guttural folk."
    Fremantle Herald
