Artist bio
Magpie Diaries is the homebaked musical bounty of Matt 'Magpie' Johnston.
Enjoying the consummate distraction of family life, Magpie and wife Jessica, who run the unique outdoor music venue Dashville, have spent sporadic time over the last decade or so, working up songs in their home-built studio in the bush. The moments fleeting, always between hosting festivals or raising babies. It’s not uncommon for Jess to have a bubba strapped to her back, in order to nail that perfect drum take with her trademark vibe, a style that lends towards Magpie’s soulful lyrical approach. Their harmonies the final ingredient which delivers the smooth soul country sound that is the Magpie Diaries.
When they head out on the road, its always a special occasion.
