Pete Campbell and band The Lazy Dog
Tim Bradley - drums
Jed Wesley-Smith - bass
Thomas Hespe - sax/guitar/b-vocals
Winner at the 2024 Fretfest Song Contest Tamworth. Campbell's songs are a sidewalk cafe, a mood, a glimpse in the mirror. His blend of acoustic and electric folk styles – from Appalachia and London, to the streets of Sydney – combined with blues, country and Americana, show that his influences are wide-ranging, from iconic artists such as Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, The Beatles and The Allman Brothers, to contemporary Antipodean songwriters such as Paul Kelly, Neil Finn and Bernard Fanning. 2022 and 2023 saw singles premiere on 2SER's The Outpost, Sunburnt Country Music and Stuart Coupe's Dirt Music radio show. 2025 will see him release a debut album and tour extensively with band The Lazy Dog.
