Casey Radio's Storytellers (at the Bowlo)- Van Walker
About
Van Walker has long been one of Tasmania’s most quietly influential exports — a songwriter who moves easily between folk, country and rock, and who has become something of a cult favourite in his adopted city of Melbourne. Known for his sharp, story-rich writing, he’s built a deep catalogue that ranges from intimate reflections to broader social observations. His early solo years are captured across releases such as Underneath the Radar 2008–2012 (Fuse Music), while his work with Swedish Magazines — including the Rolling Stone–praised I Wish Life Could Be… — and the acclaimed outfit The Livingstone Daisies (PBS Album of the Year 2013; 4.5 Stars in The Age in 2014) cemented his reputation further. He was also a key contributor to the celebrated stage project Vandemonian Lags, performing alongside the likes of Mick Thomas, Tim Rogers and Brian Nankervis.His most recent solo release, Healing Descent, was recorded in Canada with multi-instrumentalist and producer Chris Altmann — the same creative partner behind The Celestial Railroad (2008) and Bush League Bard (2010). The record has already drawn glowing praise from peers
