After years of playing in a variety of bands and accompanying solo artists, Gary became a solo performer himself, in 2009.

​

Since then he has produced three recordings of his original songs:

• The Keeper

• Rising Water

• Live at the Courthouse

​

Gary's songs are strongly influenced by his love of the ocean which he inherited from his father who

grew up on the lighthouses on the Victorian Coastline

​

All of Gary's material is embedded in the protest traditions of folk music. Songs that call for social justice and celebrate the common humanity of the world.

​

His song "Not in My Name" has been used by the Australian Greens at campaign launches and by Rural Australians for Refugee's.

​

The song "Rising Water" was written in tribute to the late great Pete Seeger after his death in 2014.

​

Three of Gary's songs have been selected by Trad and Now Magazine for their "Pick of the Crop" CD's. These CD's are a selection of the best independent recordings each year.
