"IT'S IN YOUR HEART, NOT YOUR HEAD"
Riversong Music is an independent Australian record label which was established on the Central Coast of NSW in 2009. In 2022 the label relocated to its spiritual home in lutruwita (Tasmania).
We value the crafting of quali
ty songs and have a deep respect for the artists that bring the songs to life. An example would be Duncan Toombs ‘Steel on Steel’ album which we co-produced with Duncan and Rod McCormack. The album debuted at NO#1 on the ARIA Country Music Charts in January 2023.
We are custodians of a private forest reserve and wildlife sanctuary in lutruwita and are passionate about protecting the wild places and caring for country. For over a decade we have produced a number of environmental art projects, music and film, to help people connect to country and to inform and inspire them to take action.
A subscription option for this site will be available in Spring 2023. We are encouraging like minded nature and music lovers to come ‘Down to the River’ to enjoy exclusive content online and have access to select events on country. Proceeds from subscriptions will help support our conservation work on the reserve and help to ensure its ongoing preservation as a native flora and fauna sanctuary. If you would like to learn more please sign up to our mailing list.
