John Flanagan has been a favourite on the festival scene for over a decade, playing major festivals across Australia and captivating audiences with songs that capture the full range of emotion. Sepia-toned stories on the widescreen of now; toe-tapping singalongs to mend your broken heart. Flanagan’s music pulses and shimmers with childlike honesty and sage-like wisdom. His warm vocals and engaging lyricism evoke the sounds of the great folk troubadours of the 60s and 70s. His latest album, Manhood Method Actor, traverses various themes of love, conflict, parenthood, masculinity and coming of age. The album hit #3 on the AIR ‘100% Independent’ charts putting him alongside The Waifs and Midnight Oil and it was nominated for Contemporary Folk Album of the Year in the Australian Folk Music Awards.
