Description

Steve Eales is one of Australia’s most decorated independent country rock singer-songwriters.
Since releasing his debut solo album in 2007, he has earned 17 national music awards, achieved radio chart success across Australia, the USA and Canada, and won the APRA Award for Country Composition.

Across albums like The Open Road and his newest release, Bus Roots Country & Blues, Steve has built a loyal following with his blend of country rock, roots and blues — and hit songs including Girls On HorsesThe Battler, and Long Way Home.

In this conversation, Steve opens up about life on the road, the evolution of his music, and a major turning point in his personal life — a stroke he experienced during the pandemic period, which forced him to reassess everything from his health to his career. His story is one of resilience, creativity, and finding new strength after a life-changing event.
