Edit history

Singer/songwriter Don Hillman hails from Victoria's Surf Coast. Don pens songs about travelling and living in Australia ... surfing and spending time on the coast ... the wilderness bush ... the wonderful outback .... From early days busking and playing on the Melbourne folk circuit, Don found his passion for songwriting and formed his first band. He cites Bob Dylan and Van Morrison as major early influences, and also Richard Clapton. Reviews have drawn favourable comparisons with Australian artists, Colin Hay and Paul Kelly. Don plays regularly around Melbourne and the Yarra Valley with his band Don Hillman's Secret Beach. For his new album Daydreamin, Don worked with talented musicians Marcel Yammouni (bass and guitar), John Salerno (drums), Garrett Costigan (pedal steel) and Bruce Haymes (keyboards).
