about

South Australian born and bred Liam Gerner left his life in the Adelaide hills and headed to London with a guitar in one hand and not much in the other. He was looked upon as a ‘hot new talent’, found himself touring Europe with Paul Weller, Jason Isbell, Alanis Morissette, Paolo Nutini, Elton John and the Drive by Truckers and signed a recording deal with RCA which he walked away from, he then headed to the USA after being asked to tour with Ryan Bingham (Grammy Award, Golden Globe and Academy Award winner for Crazy Heart) and his band the Dead Horses in 2011.

From this point it was all good and Liam had found his musical calling.

In between touring with Bingham, jamming with Jackson Browne and Kris Kristofferson, trading licks with Dale Watson in Austin bars, playing Johnny Cash’s J200 at Marty Stuarts house, discussing songwriting with Tom T Hall in Nashville and playing on Empire of the Sun's second album 'Ice On The Dune', he lived in a cabin in Topanga Canyon just out side of Los Angeles with the deer, mountain lions and rattlesnakes; a welcome change from the city and road life. It was here that the album that was to become 'Land Of No Roads' started to take shape.

'Land Of No Roads' was recorded at Rick Rubin’s studio Shangri La over 3 days and was produced by Rubin’s engineer Eric Lynn. Liam - "Gary Louris of the Jayhawks and I wrote a song called ‘Window To a Wall’ and Gary and Robbie Fulks both sing harmony on several tunes while legendary Cajun accordionist Steve Riley plays accordion and my dear friend Lucky Oceans added pedal steel and dobro. I grew up listening to Lucky’s radio show.”

As a songwriter is it clear that what drives Liam is storytelling. “Several of the songs on Land Of No Roads are true stories that I found while touring. Stories, which resonated with me.”

'Land Of No Roads' is an extraordinary body of work. It deserves to be heard. And so it will be.

Liam is touring the USA in September 2015.
