About the Artist

An effervescent outing, laden with crunchy guitars and creamy melodies, beloved Australian singer and songwriter Phil Jamieson unveils his new single Reading Keats In Byron Bay, a third cut taken from his forthcoming sophomore full-length album 10CHARLIE officially set for release on August 14, and continues to be celebrated throughout 2026 while Phil takes his extensive PJ AIR Tour across the country in 2026.
