Edit history

Warde Elliott is an Australian singer-songwriter with a voice that turns heads and songs that land straight in the chest. With the stage presence of someone who has lived a lot he is the kind of performer who walks on stage and has a room leaning in within minutes. Engaging, humorous and disarmingly personal, his shows feel like a conversation — part music, part story, part shared moment — the kind audiences walk away from saying “I felt like I knew him.” With four albums and two singles already released, he has carved out a catalogue rich in emotion, grit and lived experience. His upcoming album, Rough Ride Home, arrives April 2026 on vinyl and marks the 30-year anniversary of his 1996 debut, Son of John. His songwriting has earned recognition in respected competitions including the USA International Songwriting Competition, the Australian Songwriters Competition and Unsigned Only (USA), reinforcing his reputation for heartfelt, narrative-driven work. Despite this recognition, Elliott has flown under the mainstream radar — not from lack of music, but from a life lived wide - often finishing one project and moving quickly onto the next. He brings us stories like gifts — relatable, vulnerable and beautifully human laying them down with an easy, unforced honesty.
