Magpie Diaries are from Dashville, the music Mecca based in the Hunter Valley NSW. Led by songwriter Matt ‘Magpie’ Johnston, they are an authentically Australian folk-country-rock act that permeate dreamy alternative country sounds which deliver Magpie’s beautiful lyricism and melody, full of relatable stories, that feel honest, hopeful and full of heart. Magpie Diaries are very much an active family band on the rise, with a huge following that is bellowing out from the Dashville community.
