The Layman Preachers

Emerging as one of Australia's newest exports, The Layman Preachers are rising quickly from a small town songwriting outfit to international recognition for their well-crafted, energetic, and impactful songs. The combination of lead singers, Corby Green, and Heather Armstrong couples two very contrasting styles resulting in a very diverse range of material. "From the outset, the focus on production was always minimalist" says vocalist and guitarist Corby Green. "Our vision was always to deliver a raw and (relatively) unaffected sound favouring rich and authentic sonic qualities over glossy and well-polished embellishments". This is most evident in all their work from the interweaving sounds of Mandolins, 12 String guitars and folk instruments combined with a driving rhythm section on their first 2023 release 'Rich Enough' to the very powerful and hard-hitting reality of their latest songs 'Don't Get Comfortable with This' and 'I Dare You'. Their cover of Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wildside' drew praise from Extra Music Magazine as being "Deep and Courageous" and "this classic of rock history is shaped by The Layman Preachers in an almost epic and very heartfelt version."
