Jack Carty writes his songs with an honesty and mindfulness learned through the sheltered valleys and close-knit communities of a rural childhood. It’s a rare thing that has allowed the poetic Brisbane-based traveller to take his quiet truths to audiences across Australia, Europe, North America and New Zealand in the five years he has been releasing music and touring.
