Corrugated Highway – The Redgum Years Live

“Corrugated Highway”, a live recording of The Redgum Years at the Memo Music Hall, St Kilda in August 2025, continues in the tradition of Redgum’s “Caught in the Act”.

It’s 112 minutes of music (CDs) and 87 minutes (vinyl), some great photos and some stuff for you to read because I can’t help myself.

We’ve decided that we’re not going to stream this album - for the foreseeable future at least. The owners of Spotify, Apple Music and the other streaming services can make their own records and stream them.

Thanks again for your support. In a world where everybody expects to get everything for nothing online, we really appreciate your support. More than you know.

Fishing Net in the Rain

In the aftermath of the Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide and 42 years after the release of "I was only 19", John Schumann found another story that needs to be told.

"Fishing Net in the Rain" was written by Schumann (lyrics) in collaboration with his friend & manager, Ivan Tanner (music). It's the story of one of the young sailors sent out by the Australian Government to "stop the boats".

"While the song was inspired by Petty Officer David Finney, it's really important to note that this song is about - and for - the thousands of current and former members of the ADF who have taken their own lives after serving Australia. And, importantly, it's for their families."

GRADUATION DAY VIDEO

"
Schumann’s voice carries the wind in from the outback. It has grains of red dust and yellow earth, it’s flecked with toil, hardship, humanity and love. It’s as old as the land, with a gnarled weariness, like the weathered bark of a gum, tinged with the light of hope.  He sings of Australia, of its past and present, its people."
