Steve Poltz is back in Australia after a four year absence, bringing with him great new songs from his Stardust and Satellites release and his truty guitar, Smokey Joe. Steve is more than just a singer/songwriter – he’s a brilliant storyteller, comedian, entertainer and lover of the Hook Turn. He joins me in the studio for a chat and some tracks ahead of his performances at the National Folk Festival and Bluesfest. Plus the excellent new album from Coda Chroma, John Kennedy and the New Originals and Ruth Hazleton….and more!
