Jack Carty

Prolific, independent Australian songwriter Jack Carty released his sixth studio album "Wake to a Bright Morning" through his own label Big Door Recordings on March 11 2022. Jack has been making, touring, and releasing original music since 2010 - a decade that has seen the release of five full-length studio albums; three EPs; an APRA Professional Development Award; extensive touring across Australia, The UK, North America, Europe, and New Zealand; festivals from Brisbane to Barcelona; co-writes with the likes of Josh Pyke, Dan Wilson, The Once, Katie Noonan and Blair Dunlop; a #1 independent album; a Top 40 album; and a loyal, grassroots following built on great songs and a powerful live show.

"Wake To A Bright Morning" is a collection of largely self-produced songs, written and recorded in living rooms, spare rooms, friends' bedrooms, and the odd studio, between London and Brisbane over the past 3 years. It’s been a labour of love and inspiration; there were no deadlines, there was no pressure, just Jack (and some talented friends) having fun and making music. Honest, layered, lyrical, emotive, and at times acerbic, "Wake To A Bright Morning" is the most accomplished work to date in a growing catalogue of gems, spanning indie-folk vignettes to cinematic chamber pop.

ROLLING STONE "One of his most accomplished, emotive, and ultimately, best works to date"

ATWOOD MAGAZINE "The kind of warm and wondrous record that pulls you in and lifts you up, regardless of who you are, where you are, or what you’re doing"

2SER "for over a decade now, Jack Carty has been steadily producing some of Australia’s best and most important songwriting"
