Edit history

A sea change from the Australian countryside to coastline proved to be a formative journey for Rod Coote. A tranquil upbringing in his quiet hometown of Manilla nestled between the lakes, mountains & rivers of New South Wales nurtured his trail to creativity, songwriting & love of nature. Now based in Melbourne/Naarm, the proflic singer-songwriter’s warm indie folk music paints wide landscapes weaving modern acoustic instrumentation & production with his soothing songwriting & sincere storytelling. Rod’s supported & worked alongside Ziggy Alberts, Garrett Kato, Amistat, Bear's Den, Salt Tree, Hayden Calnin, The Dreggs, Mark Wilkinson, Kim Churchill & Steph Strings. Finding songwriting as a teenager influenced by Noah Kahan, Ben Howard, Dustin Tebbutt and The Paper Kites, Rod has garnered a community of loyal listeners through busking, authentic live shows & performing on festival line ups in Australia including BIGSOUND 25' & overseas Surfana (EU) & Between The Trees (UK).
