Dubbed by his peers as the King of Outback Lonesome, Leo Hooker has been offering his unique brand of smooth, vintage, heart-driven poetry in Meanjin and her surrounds for half a decade now. He draws inspiration from a well carved by the human experiences of love, loneliness and heartache with a sensitive heart, keen intellect and precious musicality.

In short, witnessing a performance from Leo leaves your heart feeling tender, your mind swept away and your inner-child cradled by a thousand angels all at once. His talent as a songwriter, the careful touch of his playing and profound tenderness in his voice leaves Leo as one of the finest storytellers this country is yet to truly discover.
