BIO
Rhys Duursma is a songwriter.
Whether in his alt-rock band Lowline, creating sweet indie-folk sounds with duo, Mayfair Lane or simply sitting by himself with a guitar he crafts stories that resonate in the same spirit of the Australian landscape – timeless, honest and vulnerable.
Ever since he was young his hope was that these songs, birthed in his solitary, quiet, melancholy inner world, could somehow become a conversation where together we can explore our humanity and the things that unite us all.
His first eclectic batch of solo tunes ‘Songs From Swan Street Vol. I, comes with sonic hints of Glen Hansard, Ryan Adams and Jeffrey Martin and is available everywhere now.
